Door entry systems are unquestionably the basic devices that provide us with a feeling of safety in our flats and houses. Their use makes it possible to restrict access of unwanted visitors to our private spaces. Selection of the suitable device should be based on the appropriate functionality and the house dwellers’ needs.
To choose the best door entry system, you should first of all decide what you really need. Some devices are additionally equipped with a magnetic card reader or keypad which makes it possible to open a pedestrian or vehicle gate with a code without calling or using a key. If this is a useful function depends on your needs.
Audio wired systems:
Basic systems, ideal for home use. When a visitor calls they press the doorbell on the call point and the phone in the house will ring. This allows the caller to communicate with the premises. By pressing a latch release button the person inside the premises can give access to the visitor. Cost considerations should be made for cable runs from the gate entrance to your premises, along with any making good internally where cables may need to be hidden.

Also available is an ‘image recording’ feature, which allows registration of missed calls from the entrance panel with image capture date and time.
It is also possible to control with external cameras the entire distance from the gate to the building covered by a visitor.
We can use another camera in addition to the one built into the door entry panel to provide a better and clear view of a visitor or vehicle.
We can install the system that looks like a normal door entry system (panel without a camera) and is provided with a separate camera installed in other location that is not seen by visitors – in this case a caller is not aware that we can see him/her.
