Providing streamlined digital intercom to electricians
In a world where connected IOT devices now deliver more and more functions, customers are expecting to see this increasingly across their daily lives. The ability to manage all elements of your life through a smart phone is another modern reality. One of these elements is security, where even simple CCTV systems can now provide footage of your home through a mobile app. Managing the front door is the cornerstone of security systems, and many home and small business owners turn to electricians to install digital intercom systems to provide control and peace of mind.
People want to be able to keep an eye on their premises wherever they are – and they want to have images that can really make a difference. Gone is the acceptance of blurry, dark images with limited angles. After all, the decision to let someone in relies on being able to see them properly and recognise them or their intent! That’s where digital intercom systems come in. These can now provide much more stable and crisp wide-angle images - also in dark environments - even with lower price point cameras.
There’s also a lot more you can do with such a system, including viewing images through your mobile phone, linkage to CCTV and alarm system on the premises, and unlocking your door remotely.
Where analog systems have gone before, now digital is expected. To some electricians this can represent extra complication – something else to configure on top of installation. The general perception is that if something is more complicated, it takes more time, and racks up higher costs. This can be daunting in an industry that is currently managing costs. Recent research among electricians* says their top challenges are rising cost of materials (48%) and rising fuel costs (29%).
This makes simplicity key in any new system electricians install, and entire integrated systems are convenient to reduce their installation time, and costs. Hikvision’s 2-Wire Kit provides everything they need to give customers peace of mind through a digital intercom system with quality footages. And the same wires transmit both power and audio/video signals.
In fact, the 2-wire option is the market favourite, accounting for 90% of systems. It provides a wealth of features that analog systems do not have, and so can be a great upgrade to older existing systems as well as being a useful new addition to a security solution.
The 2-Wire Intercom Kit, provides everything an electrician needs to provide a comprehensive digital intercom system. It gives excellent image quality, using a 2MP Fisheye camera to provide crisp images, even at night or in dark spaces. They also come with WDR so images are still viewable when there’s direct light facing the camera.
With a focus on convenience, the Kit is designed to be easy to use. It can provide both gate and driveway access control for individual premises and gate and elevator control for apartments. Electricians can also configure the systems for all kinds of scenario – using functions like PIN entry, duress password, do not disturb mode, and multiple ringtone options.
The idea is to make the system as flexible as possible, so there are various modular options. The designers also had aesthetics in mind, and produced elegant designs, some of which have won Red Dot design awards.
Hikvision has catered to its market by keeping the price/performance ratio low, compared with other similar systems.
The majority of Hikvision’s products can be seamlessly connected to the end user through the Hik-Connect app. This gives them the ability to see what’s happening on their premises wherever they are and can even give them the power to open a door or carry out other tasks remotely. The app also facilitates calling, so people can not only see who is at their door, but they can also have a conversation with them. This is something that’s not possible with many existing systems.
With the advance of IOT devices across many of our daily functions, the world gets more complicated for these that need to install and maintain our systems. Electricians are required to combine more devices into integrated systems, at the same time as surviving rising costs. Simple systems with devices that talk seamlessly to each other make life a little easier. And when life is easier, less time is spent, costs go down, and stress levels plummet too.
