Siedle - Linked up building communication from Siedle
Siedle, one of the leading manufacturers of
communications technology for buildings in Europe, can
now link its door communication systems to IP-based
computer networks with DoorCom-IP. This enables Siedle
customers to turn their PCs into call stations,
replacing or combining with conventional in-house
telephone call stations, without reducing functionality
or quality.
Building communication is entering a dynamic market.
Commercial buildings are generally completely networked
and even in private households networks are now gaining
ground. DoorCom-IP enables users of Siedle’s
communication technology to take advantage of two
important changes in this rapid-growth technological
sector: the Ethernet turning into a transmission channel
for door communication and the PC into a call station.
The door station feeds its call, audio and video signals
into the Ethernet via DoorCom-IP. There they are relayed
to the network PCs, received by the client software and
indicated on the monitor. The computer assumes all the
functions of an indoor call station including video
transmission, picture control and switching functions.
An additional in-house telephone is no longer required –
but can be added at any time because DoorCom-IP is both
flexible and scalable.
In this way, a lawyer’s chamber or doctor’s surgery can
fulfil all its door communication needs using a PC and
software while the residential apartments in the same
building are still fitted with classic in-house
telephones. Mixed-use is just as feasible as subsequent
adaptations if the building is later used by other
tenants. A option if the users don’t want to communicate
via their PCs or if they don’t have the required
headsets is to have the video image displayed on the PC
while the public network telephone assumes both speech
communication and the door release function. This
combination can also completely replace – or at least
complement – the conventional in-house telephone.
DoorCom-IP adjusts door communication to both individual
user needs and the existing infrastructure. In this way,
it provides ideal conditions for sophisticated projects
and tailor-made systems.
System-free link: pure Ethernet operation
In a system-free link, door communication neither
requires its own call stations nor separate
installations. Instead, the door station is connected to
the Ethernet via DoorCom-IP. Everything else is taken
care of by the network and up to 50 connected PCs. The
system can optionally be combined with another
communication technology system already in place at each
work station: the public network telephone. In this
case, the telephone provides both speech communication
and the door release function. The video image from the
door camera appears synchronously with the call tone on
the PC monitor. From October 2007, a version capable of
cascading up to 14 DCIPs will be available. This will
permit connection to a maximum of 700 PC users.
Flexible and powerful: Ethernet and Siedle-Multi
Used in conjunction with Siedle-Multi, DoorCom-IP
provides a system capable of meeting the most stringent
demands of performance and flexibility. The Multi link
offers the same performance features as the system-free
link – plus the entire capability of Siedle-Multi. For
instance, with the free combination of Siedle in-house
telephones and PC clients in a single system, planners
are able to address flexibly different application
variants within a single system.
The Multi link is available in two different versions.
In the first, DoorCom-IP supplies up to 49 PC users
assigned to every door. Typical applications include
large building complexes with mixed-use units.
In the second version of the Multi link, a single
DoorCom-IP links a maximum of 254 inputs with up to four
PC users. Typical applications include properties with
multiple access points that are monitored from a control
centre, for example, by a caretaker or security service.
This type of property generally has a comprehensive data
network. With DoorCom-IP, the building communication
makes use of this infrastructure. This makes its
application more convenient, more flexible and usually
more affordable, too.
