IpDoor: the new access control and management system
IpDoor:
the new access control and management system
IpDoor is much more than a video door phone: it is a real advanced access control system.
How many times in the dark or in the rain do the house keys become impossible to find? Through the external door station functions, the IpDoor system is able to identify the user and enable him for immediate access.
With the purchase of an access control license (unlimited, therefore to be purchased only once) you can open doors and gates with maximum comfort and always have under control all the people who access your buildings or your home. It is a license that is associated with the IpDoor external door station, therefore it will be necessary to purchase a license for each station on which you want to activate this functionality. Once purchased, it can be used by all associated accounts.
How can IpDoor be programmed to become an access control system?
The IpDoor system provides different ways to identify and enable users to access. All these modes can also be configured in specific time slots and the administrator of the building can disable them at any time.
• A button on the display of the external door station will allow the user to enter a personal code on the numeric keypad, which will enable him to access. Simple and immediate!
• It is possible to enable user access by placing an NFC tag near the door station (for example a card on which credentials have been registered). This system is particularly useful in a company: employees and collaborators will be able to access the structure independently, with a simple identification card to swipe on the IpDoor station.
• The NFC integrated in the smartphone can also be used: by placing the phone close to the door station, the user will be recognized and enabled for access.
• The user can access by showing a QR code (on paper or on his smartphone) to the camera of the external station. This access method is effective for the creation and instantaneous sending (via phone or email) of temporary credentials that are programmable in time slots and with configurable duration.
• The IpDoor station can detect the presence of the user by recognizing and pairing his phone's bluetooth. When the smartphone approaches the bluetooth range, the station will change its interface, enabling the pre-configured door opener buttons. This mode is used to welcome the owner in a personalized way.
An access control with infinite possibilities
- During configuration via web, it is possible to combine user identification credentials with certain actions that the system activates after "recognizing" him.
For example: when the system identifies the user through a numerical code, it will be possible to set the opening of the entrance door; or, if the user is identified by NFC code, the opening of the garage door will be set. - A user can also have multiple credentials that correspond to different actions.
For example: typing the code 1234 on the keyboard will open the entrance door, while with the code 4567, in addition to opening the door, the alarm will be also deactivated. This programming option is very useful in families: parents can generate multiple codes for different functions and provide their children with only those they deem most appropriate.
An access control with numerous features
IpDoor is an access control system that goes beyond the usual door opener functionality:
- It was in fact designed for those who want to give access to their buildings to occasional users (e.g. domestic workers) only in certain time slots. Through the various identification methods, it is possible to configure credentials for an autonomous but timed access.
For example: in the absence of an internal video surveillance system, it is possible to know exactly how long the professional took to carry out the maintenance intervention in your home. By providing him with a temporary numeric code to be entered at the entrance and exit, you will be notified by on your App as soon as the code is entered.
This feature is also very useful for Bed&Breakfast owners who will allow guests an independent access to the structure during their stay. When the occasional user enters the building, information events can be activated on the owner's App (a notification, the viewing of a video recorded by the video surveillance system, etc.) which will allow him to control who has entered and at what time. - You can set the IpDoor system to activate certain actions in combination with your access! In fact, IpDoor has a wide flexibility of commands (both local door opener commands and towards external devices). By sending commands to the internal relays of the door station, it is possible to program the simultaneous opening of several gates; by sending a command to an external system such as a home automation device or a control unit, you can ensure that at your entrance the house lights turn on and the anti-theft system is disabled. In this way you can chose the scenario you prefer most on your arrival!
- From the mobile app you can also check at any time if your door or gate has been opened and who has entered, by checking the access history and viewing the short videos that are recorded by the external station whenever someone approaches or rings to the video door phone.
The access log can be viewed via App by users of the same group / family (throgh series of filters) and via web by the administrator with an in-depth level of detail. The condominiums of a building will be able to view all the accesses related to their own apartment via App while the condominium administrator will be able to monitor the accesses to all the apartments in the building.
Need help?
If you want to get in touch with us fill in the form. Our staff will answer your message as soon as possible.
For example:
Are you in the office and the courier calls your home for an important delivery? You can reply via the App with a text message that will appear on the external door station and open it to have the package delivered. You can also check using the door station camera that the courier has left and closed the gate.
Are you out for the weekend and need workers to enter your garden for urgent maintenance? You can answer the video intercom from your holiday home and conveniently open the gate for them.
Are you out for work and your child is locked out without a key? You can open the gate and front door directly from your smartphone.
For example:
If in a condominium there are 80 interiors divided into two stairwells of 50 and 30 apartments each, each entrance will have its own door station and you will need to purchase a number of buttons license with 80 interiors that will then be divided amongst the different door stations.
For example:
Do you have domestic staff that you don't want to leave your house keys to for security reasons? You can give them a numeric code or assign them a QR code that allows them to enter. You can even generate entry systems with well-defined time slots or temporary permissions.
In the office, do you want to automate the entry system for employees and know when they enter and leave? Thanks to access management via NFC or Bluetooth, you can do this reliably and securely.
For example:
Within a company it makes it possible to interface with telephone exchanges that in turn manage the individual internal phones. When a visitor rings using the external panel, the call will arrive directly to the company's proprietary phones so they may open the entrances.
In residential contexts such as villas this strong technological characteristic makes it possible to interface with internal home automation devices. When a visitor rings using the external panel the user can answer, for example, from the internal home automation device.
In private or in accommodation facilities such as a Bed & Breakfast it’s possible to interface with SIP service providers which divert the call to the traditional telephone network. This feature is very useful in areas where there is a poor mobile signal (e.g. in the mountains): when a visitor rings using the video intercom the call will arrive in telephone form and not only via App.
For example:
The user is away from home, awaiting the arrival of a guest. He won’t risk to create a disservice to his guest because thanks to the Monitoring License he will be notified of any problem in advance, therefore being able to adopt alternative solutions in time.
Does the installer want to offer a stable maintenance service to his customers? With a Monitoring License, you will be notified in case of disconnection of a device and will be able to prevent the problem even before the user has evidence of it.
For example:
This touchless feature helps ensure strict hygiene measures and the well-being of all employees and visitors. In this sense, the Voice Command license proves to be an essential ally in contexts such as condominium complexes, companies and accommodation facilities.
The solution proves to be of vital importance also and above all for people with sensory or motor disabilities that do not allow to manually interact with the plate. Where it is possible to use voice, the voice command will promote a completely autonomous use of the video door phone.
The license allows for even more convenient, faster and more intuitive communication and ensures an excellent first impression with your visitors.
For example:
Within hospitality structures, think of a hotel reception, the PC Client service allows you to welcome and interact with customers in an innovative way, improving the guest experience and general organization. All calls from guests can be managed efficiently and centrally, even remotely.
Also for companies, especially those located in several branches, the PC Client license allows recreating a virtual switchboard through which to manage the reception of visitors via PC even remotely. Through the app you can easily manage a very large number of telephone sets and devices connected to the IpDoor system, regardless of where they are installed.
For example:
For example:
By ringing the video intercom, the visitor will also automatically call the direct lift to the tenant's floor. Or, he will call the tenant who in turn, after identifying the visitor, can decide whether to send the lift from his own internal monitor.
If there's the need to limit the access to the various floors of a building, it will be possible to take advantage of the Lift Integration license and the IpDoor access control system. A user who accesses via PIN credential, QR code, Bluetooth or NFC, will be recognized by the system that will send an elevator to take him only through the authorized floors.
