Look who's ringing the doorbell!

The traditional doorbell has one crucial disadvantage: you can't see who's at the door. Modern door communication systems offer a clear view. But they can do much more than that.

The traditional doorbell will soon be obsolete. The new standard is door communication. This involves equipping existing intercom systems with video surveillance, allowing you to monitor the entrance area and see who is at the door when the bell rings.

And who needs a house key when the door opens with a touch of your finger? Electronic access control offers a convenient and burglar-proof alternative to keys and locks. Fingerprint sensors are simply integrated into the door leaf of houses and apartment doors. Compared to code cards and electronic keys, like those used in cars, these sensors have the advantage that you no longer need to carry anything that can be lost or searched for, which is especially practical for families with children.

Door communication systems can also be integrated into a smart home system, which may already control the alarm system, blinds, lights, and heating. The door can then be monitored and controlled remotely via an app – and even opened if, for example, a family member is at the door and has forgotten their key.
