A
neat bell/speaker system replaces the door bell. Slimline design, manufactured
in tough, fade-resistant black or white ABS, fits standard door frames
without adjustment.
The sound quality is crisp and clear, both at the door and in the house.
The kit includes a wall-mounted handset to be fitted at a convenient location in your house, so that you can answer your caller easily.
The intercom connects to a plug-in transformer for easy installation.
Options - an electrical door release allows you to open the front door by pushing a button on the handset.
You can also connect this intercom system to as many as 8 telephones in the house - including cordless ones - so you can answer the door wherever you are.
This
keyless doorlocking system (right) works in the same way as the familiar
central locking on your car - a handheld remote control activates a release
mechanism fitted to the door frame.
It works alongside existing locks, and can be fitted to the majority of doors.
For anyone who struggles with fiddly keys, or finds it hard to get up from the chair to open the door, it provides a useful solution.
The ergonomic remote control unit is black and yellow to assist the partially sighted.
These
TV Kits offer connection from a door entry system to a standard SCART
socket found on most of today’s televisions. This provides a simple
means of controlling access to the house from the comfort of an armchair.
The basic kit includes a surface or flush door panel complete with integrated speech amplifier, call button and a colour camera with back lights. At the other end of the system there is an audio telephone with a lock release button, a power supply unit and the scart interface.
The operation of the system is quite simple. A call is activated by pressing the button at the door. The television will then automatically switch to its AV channel to show a colour picture of the caller. At the same time, the audio telephone will ring and answering it will enable two way speech and the option to press the lock release button. When the call ends, the television will automatically switch back to the previous channel.
A cordless bell set allows you to keep mobile and still be reachable within a radius of up to 30 m from transmitter to receiver. It also makes an ideal emergency alarm device for anyone who needs to summon assistance. There is a range of different melodies, each with two different volume settings.
