In a generation that is rapidly moving and changing, safety is quintessential, something which cannot be ignored in these recent times. A Video door phone and Intercom system are something that have emerged as a modern and innovative solution to tackle this issue in the best possible manner. These solutions not only enable easy and effective communication between visitors and occupants, but also increases the safety level of residential owners. They can live and sleep with the peace of mind that no stranger is entering their property without their allowance and permission. In addition, this safety and security measure is also important for the overall protection of any building or facility.
Understanding a video door phone and its important elements
It is a kind of an intercom system attached with a microphone, camera, speaker, and a unit where you can see things. The primary reason for using this solution is to enable face to face interaction between visitors and the occupants of the building. The camera takes the guest’s footage when they hit the entrance doorbell or place a phone call through the network. As soon as this is done, the owner of the property can view it on their viewing device. The occupant can decide whether to allow entry or not over a discussion that is made possible by two-way audio communication.
So, what are the essential components of this solution? Let us find out.
1. The outside unit is equipped with a microphone, doorbell, and a camera of high resolution. When a visitor visits the building and hits the doorbell button, the camera captures the image and sends it to the inside unit for viewing. Thus, the building occupants get a clear idea of who is trying to enter their premises which in turn enhances the overall safety and security of occupants.
2. Just like the outdoor unit, the indoor unit is made up of speaker, microphone, and a display screen. However, in addition it also has buttons for interaction with the visitors and an access control for the door. When the occupant receives the image of the visitor, the owners can speak with them and depending on them, may or may not allow the visitor to enter the building. This gives the owners a sense of control and peace of mind over people who have access to their safe and heavenly abode.
Understanding IP Intercom and its important elements
Intercom systems work primarily on internet protocol (IP) technology and offer video and audio interaction over data networks. These solutions can be used in a wide variety of applications including residential buildings to large business organizations.
Let us find out the essential components of this solution.
1. IP Intercom primarily uses the technology known as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) in order to facilitate video and audio interaction. The SIP intercom stations are strategically installed at entry points or locations allowing users to interact with each other.
2. This solution is mostly dependent on data networks such as the LAN or WAN for interaction. This integration eases the installation process, lessens the cabling structure, and easy communication across various locations.
3. This solution can be easily integrated with other access control systems such as controlling the gate or unlocking the remote door. In addition, they can be integrated with CCTV cameras and other security devices for proper monitoring and surveillance.
VDP and IP systems have now become a one stop solution for all- Residential Complexes, Commercial Buildings, Educational Institutions and Industrial Facilities.
These solutions tend to make communication with visitors and access to enter these buildings surveilled and hence monitorable in Residential Complexes and Commercial buildings.
With respect to Educational institutions, these solutions tend to cater to the need for a safe and secure learning space for children as well as educators. The strict surveillance that these solutions give access to makes procuring secure space a cakewalk especially in Industrial facilities.
