Comelit has added to its access control range for apartment blocks and residential complexes with the ‘Mini’ video door entry phone. It’ll be on show at IFSEC in June at London’s Excel Centre. The ‘Mini’, pictured, is a new version of Comelit’s entry-level product, with entry phone and display screen.
The compact, 4.3-inch 16:9 black and white, or colour, screen offers brightness and contrast control that makes the unit readable for users, even in unusual ambient light, the makers say. A user can customise the ringtone and melody. Users have four touch-sensitive buttons for controlling lock release, as well as privacy functions and options for auxiliary commands, such as calls to a switchboard.
Comelit’s ‘Simplebus Top’ system uses analogue two-wire technology. This allows external and internal units to be up to 1200 metres apart but still operate from the same riser line. At large apartment complexes with distances between a building’s entrance panel and the central concierge, a two-wire system with non-polarised cables allowes scalable connectivity, using several building risers if necessary. A deluxe option, finished in black, features soft-touch on the handset and eight buttons as standard with a door status indicator LED. Lock release is shown to the user by a backlit LED button.
The entry phones offer mounting options with a range of backplates and finishing accessories that enables switchover from legacy equipment supplied by other manufacturers, the makers add.
Francesca Boeris, Sales Director, Comelit UK, said: “The ‘Mini’ range underlines Comelit’s commitment to investing in new products while conducting extensive market research to ensure we develop offerings in line with the needs of users, installers and facility managers. Sales of the ‘Mini’ are already high and it’s being specified across various residential sites where users are giving outstanding feedback on experiences with the product. Comelit will be showcasing the ‘Mini’ at IFSEC (stand G900) and we invite the industry to a demonstration of our latest innovative monitor.”
