Adding Security andCommunication to an
Office Building
THE SCENARIOTHE SOLUTION

A small office building located in center of the city
faced frequent intrusions by suspicious individuals,
and the building owner was considering improving
security measures in conjunction with building
renovations. Despite having an audio entranceintercom and access control installed at the streetfacing entrance, it was inadequate. The system reliedsolely on audio communication, which sometimes led
to tenants remotely unlocking the door without
verifying visitors, or suspicious individuals sometimes
gaining unauthorized access to the building by
piggybacking on visitors. The owner consideredstrengthening the security system to ensure that
remote door unlocking is possible after the visitor's
face is verified, not only through audio conversation.

The building owner selected an IP video intercom
system. The entrance intercom station featured acamera, allowing tenants to visually and audibly verify
visitors and remotely unlock the door. This enabledtenants to assess the identity of visitors and theirsurroundings, making it easier to spot suspicious
individuals. Furthermore, in case a suspicious
individual managed to enter through the street
entrance, the entrance hall intercom served as anadditional screening measure.

Furthermore, the owner aimed to enhance security by
installing entrance intercoms and access controls at
three specific locations: the main entrance, entrance
hall, and each floor. However, the owner also
recognized that improving security might potentiallysacrifice accessibility. Therefore, the owner wanted toensure that visitors could easily use the intercom
system despite the additional security measures.

The handset was equipped on the room station, thestaff communicated with a visitor through a handset
when a visitor called from the entrance. This ensured
that a visitor's voice wouldn’t be overheard by others,
maintaining privacy and confidentiality.

Additionally, the owner was concerned that when avisitor called the room station in the office, their voice
could be heard by others in the office, potentiallydisrupting their work and revealing the visitor's identity.
Consequently, the owner desired to ensure that only
the person who responded to the call could hear thevisitor's voice, thus safeguarding privacy andminimizing disruptions in the office.

To simplify visitor communication at both the entrance
and the entrance hall, a simply press of the individual
call button on the entrance station allowed visitors tocall the office.

In addition, the Intercom App installed onto asmartphone allowed tenants to answer a call from theentrance station anywhere inside or outside of theoffice.

Building owner selected a flexible IP intercom
system to provide enhanced security and simple
operation.
