¿Doorbell or Video Doorbell?
Choosing between a conventional doorbell and a video doorbell system can make all the difference in terms of security and comfort.
Although many customers are used to the classic electronic door entry system, the advantages of having video at the entrance are greater.
Video door entry systems allow us to see who is at the door through a screen, being able to identify visitors before opening the door.
Many of them have advanced features such as recording; to keep a visual record of who has called. In addition, the possible integration with intelligent systems and mobile applications allows remote control and real-time viewing. Undoubtedly, the video door entry system is the most modern and secure option for everyone.
Video door phones are available with a choice of handset or hands-free monitors. The on-hook and off-hook option provides flexibility in use and is still popular, however, hands-free monitors that integrate microphones and speakers into the monitor, facilitate contactless communication and are closer to the technologies of the future.
If you want to combine door entry and video door entry technologies we recommend a 2-Wire system.
VIDEO DOORBELL
There are several types of video door phone systems: 2 Hilos, IP y 5 hilos.
The 2-WIRE systems use only one 2-wire cable for audio and video transmission between the door entry system and the monitor. They are very easy to install and are also highly efficient in terms of energy consumption, since the two wires are used both for powering the devices and for data transmission.
The IP system offers superior image quality and is based on data networks, it connects to the Internet via UTP CAT6 wired connection. It offers the possibility of remote access from mobile devices and integrates other security systems such as home automation, video surveillance cameras, concierge stations, barriers and switchboards.
Finally, the 5-WIRE systems, which are less and less used, do not have internet connection. These systems need 2 wires for video and 3 wires for audio and control. They can be assembled with 3 Wires + Coaxial, whose live and mesh count as 2 wires for video, with 5 Wires cabling, or taking advantage of 5 of the 8 wires that a UTP cable has.
ELECTRONIC DOORBELL
There are two main types: 2 Hilos y 4 + N
The 2-WIRE system for audio door entry systems, has the same wiring as the video door entry systems, facilitating the combination between door entry systems and video door entry systems in the same installation at a reduced cost.
The 4 + N system is analogical and can be found in older buildings.
It requires 4 common wires (audio and video) + N number of wires for each house. For example: A kit for 10 dwellings needs 4 common wires + 10 wires. Total 14 wires.
Video Door Entry Kits for 1 House
We present a selection of our best kits, perfect for homes and small businesses, depending on the system used.
2HILOS video door entry systems stand out for their versatility in connection, offering options of monitors with or without internet connection.
Those with Internet connection allow remote access and real-time viewing from mobile devices, providing greater convenience and control.
On the other hand, IP video door phones, which also connect to the internet but via UTP cabling, offer advanced features such as high-definition video, integration with home automation systems and cloud storage, making them a superior option for those looking for more modern and functional security solutions.
The 5WIRE video door entry kits are increasingly out of use, mainly because they support shorter distances and do not include internet connection.
Fermax has a VDS model that includes a WiBox device with which to have connection.
