Telephone Based Door Entry Systems Were The Future

The New TelePorter Door Entry System was launched at Interbuild 2004 at the NEC Birmingham. It is powered from the telephone line and will therefore not require external power.

The New TelePorter Door Entry System has a distinct advantage over its competitors, as the telecoms board will be powered from the telephone line and will therefore not require external power.

The only power required will be for the display, door release mechanism, and video camera.

Also programming of multiple and individual numbers will be able to be carried out by Installers and Managing Agents alike, using a standard telephone.

The TelePorter, Telephone Based Door Entry System allows the Resident to answer the Visitor at the front door on his own Standard or Cordless Telephone.

Unlike conventional Door Entry Systems, there are no cables required to the flats, as the whole calling and releasing process is carried out on the Resident's own Telephone or Mobile, by dialling a standard code.

Should the resident go out, he can divert his telephone to his mobile and receive all calls from visitors at the front entrance of the block, anywhere in the world, he could even open the door for deliveries.

With the integral Video option, in mono or colour, should the Resident wish to see the Visitor, he only has to 'click over' to a designated channel on his television.

This type of Door Entry System is versatile, efficient, and reliable, and comes in Vandal Resistant Stainless Steel, with an optional solid state Keypad.

The installation is very cost effective, as no conduits, trunking or cables are required to the flats.

As the system requires very little maintenance, it would sometimes be cheaper to replace existing Door Entry Systems with a Telephone Based System, to avoid paying the horrendous maintenance costs of some conventional Digital Door Entry Systems.

This makes the TelePorter Door Entry Systems ideal for retrofit in high-rise blocks, as it only takes one or two days to install.

With the addition of a small 'PABX', even flats without Telephones can be connected.

Options available include, integral Video Camera, Close Proximity Access Control (PAC), 'PIN' Access Codes, On or Off-Site Concierge, Battery Back-up and Tradesman's Code.

Derek Berman, Managing Director for TelePorter Ltd., says "with ongoing research and development programmes, Telephone Based Door Entry Systems are the future, as they will always be upgradeable as technology advances, without the need to change out the System".

Number change, and most fault diagnosis can be provided from the manufactures own control centre, or software can be provided to the Installer or Management Company to administer their own data bases'.

With the cost of telephone calls reducing all the time and coupled with the fact that up to four panels can be used on one telephone line, TelePorter must be one of the most cost effective and user friendly telephone based Door Entry System's on the market today.

With the buoyant property market, more and more blocks of flats and secure housing developments are being built with the latest technology, such as structured cable systems, for use with security and internet services.

Telephone Based Door Entry Systems are the future and should become an integral part of all these types of developments.

The concept of the Telephone Based Door Entry System is now being adopted by Property Developers and Consultants alike, as they can see the tremendous advantages in flexibility and cost effectiveness, to offer to their clients.

Notwithstanding the committed before and after sales support, TelePorter has an optional 2 year warranty.
