Door Entry

Network-based intercom

by Mark Rowe

Aiphone has launched IX. It’s an IP network-based intercom which provides communication with an infinite number of doors and is designed to interact with other IP devices and security systems.

The product offers video entry, internal communication, emergency stations and multicast paging. All of these functions can be set up between remote locations over large areas and distances, making IX suitable the makers say for an application involving multiple locations such as airports, education campuses, railway stations and parking facilities. According to the firm, a user can mix and match a large number of door and master stations to match project requirements.

Wyatt Taylor, Director of Aiphone UK Ltd said: “Any Aiphone master on the network can be used to remotely unlock doors, assist onsite visitors from an offsite location and broadcast emergency announcements. However, what elevates IX above other intercom systems currently available for large scale installations, is the ease at which it can be integrated with third-party systems such as Access Control, IP network cameras and video management software (VMS), to provide a total integrated security solution.”

With door and master stations featuring PoE (Power over Ethernet) to minimise installation time and cost, IX is compatible with many ONVIF compliant IP cameras and video management software (VMS) such as Avigilon, ExacqVision and Milestone, as well as Lenel Onguard access control management software. Other features include:

Call Queuing – Master stations can receive up to 20 incoming calls simultaneously. Caller information can be displayed on a queue list, making it possible to respond selectively to high-priority calls.

Email Alerts: IX can be configured to send a visitor’s image to three email addresses when master stations are called. Errors in the system and health check reports can also be sent via email.
