Video Door Phones (VDP) are a popular option as a home security device to add to your smart home. What if we told you that VDPs are useful not just for homes or apartment complexes, but also for offices and other commercial spaces. The versatile nature of VDPs like those offered by Onetouch, have taken smart security beyond the home and made them applicable for offices as well. While there are numerous ways to leverage the functionality of a VDP for your office, here we discuss 3 things you can do with your VDP.

Enhanced Communications — Intercom System

VDP can be installed with one master or base station and multiple sub-stations. This makes it possible to use devices like a connected system of intercoms that not only help in monitoring entry and exit points but also enable communications within teams and various departments of the office. The base unit can be controlled manually or remotely by a building security team to control the entry of visitors and also capture photos with built-in cameras. OneTouch by Discreet Technologies is one such Video Door Phone system that also offers intercom functionalities for larger groups of users within the premises.

Going further, let’s consider a scenario of a large manufacturing facility where a vendor is at the main gate for a meeting with the purchasing department. The security office can leverage the Video intercom system to transfer the call to the purchase department substation or mobile app for a decision to allow or disallow the visitor. This gives more control and flexibility to the teams and allows efficient data capture of visitors.

Another way of allowing entry is with a pre-authorized QR code from the purchase manager to the visitor. The visitor can get direct access by simply scanning the QR Code at the video entry station. This reduces time and hassle for both, the visitor as well as security staff. As soon as the code is scanned, a notification is sent to the purchase manager to indicate that the visitor has entered the premises.

The system can also be used for communication between teams and can be integrated with other applications that are available on Google Play to enhance the functionality of the office space.

Protect your Assets — Smart Security

Businesses need to protect their assets from dangers like theft and espionage. A SIP-based video entry station can act as an Access Control System whereyou can grant access to the office space to your employees with key-in passwords, QR Codes, Smart Cards or even Face recognition. The Video Door Station can function as a smart video entry to manage access and maintain visitor logs. Apart from regular working areas, there may be restricted areas that hold sensitive information or assets for the company. It becomes especially critical to ensure the security of these places to safeguard the business. Intrusion detection systems that can be integrated with VDP are of great help at such places.

For example, the Onetouch Video Door Phone has in-built motion detection. It will send a notification to security if there is any movement outside designated areas. Similarly, the intrusion detection system, that can be connected to the VDP system, will immediately alert security through alarm and notification if there is a break-in or unauthorized access in any specified area. Also, special access can be given to selected individuals as per the needs of the business.

The Video Entry Station is a multifunctional system that can not only act as Access Control but also be used for its various features like IP Camera, Intrusion detection system using its motion sensor function, Panic Alarm and built-in intercom.
