The French governmental agency Pôle emploi has video intercom systems for 450 job centres.
JP video intercoms from the manufacturer Aiphone have been installed to control access to the job centres as meetings with those seeking work are only in the afternoon by appointment.
Each office has two or three seven-inch touchscreen room stations, with the option if required, to go up to eight.
The JP product comes with a built-in 170 degree wide angle camera which when with digital pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) eliminates blind spots the product company says, for staff to see who wants to enter their offices. It also records up to 20 calls on its internal memory or up to 1,000 calls on an optional removable SD/SHDC. That lets staff review the identity of visitors, while users can choose to have hands-free communication or use the room station handset to protect the privacy of the visitor.
Antoine Pelloux, Marketing Manager for Aiphone in France, said: “The video capabilities of the JP system, as well as the built-in magnetic induction loop for the hard of hearing, were key factors in us winning this prestigeous contract. Most importantly, the JP system complies with the France’s Accessibility Act in terms of the field of view of the camera built into the door station which also offers audio and pictogram guidance. Ease of use was also a key requirement and the touch screen room stations with large buttom and icons for quick, intuitive navigation and control, have therefore provided an ideal solution for this project.”
