Aiphone has upgraded its full IP IX intercom, the new IX2 series. It has touch screen monitors and communication with up to 9,999 door stations.
Wyatt Taylor, Managing Director of Aiphone UK Ltd said: “With no server or licence fees, the IX2 system offers highly affordable P2P full IP video entry security, internal communication and multicast paging. Utilising its ability to connect directly to a network, all these functions can be implemented between remote locations over large areas. However, what elevates IX2 above other traditional and IP intercom systems currently available for large scale installations, is the ease at which it can be integrated with third-party systems. As a result, we are able to provide a totally integrated intercom and security solution, including Access Control, IP network cameras and video management software (VMS), such as Avigilon, ExacqVision and Milestone, as well as Lenel Onguard access control management software out of the box and without the need to buy any licenses.”
Scalable
IX2 has the capacity to provide communication with a practically infinite number of intercom stations. A user can have video entry security, internal communication, emergency stations and multicast paging between remote locations over large areas and distances, making the product suitable the makers say for campuses, as well as other multiple locations such as airports, railway stations and car parks.
Features include:
•No wiring-distance limitations: LAN and VPN connections enable implementation over extensive areas and between remote locations.
•Peer to peer configuration results in space savings, reduced installation time and lower cost. You connect the units to Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches. No need for a dedicated server, with the additional benefit of eliminating the risk of system downtime due to server malfunction.
•seven inch handset with a touchscreen which can be used in domestic and commercial environments.
•Hands free touch screen monitors.
•Picture in picture video can show the door station camera and an overhead camera simultaneously.
•Video intercom between master monitors.
•Newly designed IX panels which comply with DDA regulations, eg. offer clear visual guidance and a blue halo button.
•Audio and video SIP Integration with Cisco IP phones.
•ONVIF compatibility provides the option for images captured by call panel cameras to be integrated with a video surveillance system.
•SD card slots on panels and monitors enable video and audio data to be recorded and backed-up.
•Call log facility on each handset provides data trails.
Queuing
When multiple calls are made to the same monitor station, the product places the calls in a queue which is displayed on the LCD screen. On the calling end, users are given notification that their calls are in the queue. Up to 20 calls can be queued and prioritised on an IX-MV7 master station. The importance of each call, e.g. normal, priority or urgent, can be indicated by the display of respective red, amber or green colours on the master station. Higher priority calls are moved automatically to the top of the list.
Transfers
Calls and conversations within the IX2 system can be transferred to up to ten other IX-MV7 monitor stations. The transfers can be done manually or through a variety of system settings. With Delay Transfer, for example, the system automatically transfers calls which are not answered within a pre-set time. An Absent Transfer feature immediately calls another IX-MV7 master station when someone is away from their desk, while ‘Scheduled Transfer’ automatically transfers calls to another IX-MV7 master station during pre-determined times, such as out of office hours.
