The product frees up staff who might otherwise perform only occasional reception duties and be unoccupied for long periods so that they can use their time to assist with other security and administrative tasks. The product is ‘green’ with an exceptionally low carbon footprint since it dispenses with the need for dedicated CCTV monitors and intercom in reception areas. Any authorised member of staff can view and speak to visitors using their own computer with the handset connected to the computer’s sound card.
An extended version of the unit has a cut-out so that a panel-mount proximity reader can be included and connected to the access control system already in use. This allows staff members or regular visitors such as contractors to gain immediate entry with an RFID card or fob.
