Audio Door Entry Systems
Audio entry systems can be supplied in lots of
variations to suit particular applications. From internal and
external panels, weatherproof and vandal resistant, brass and
artistic, the list of combinations can be endless.
From simple 1 button to 1 audio handset kits
that can be installed on residential properties and office environments,
multi button entry panels calling a number of apartments to digital
entry panels that combine multiple entrances and offer concierge
services there is a solution in the range.
Where vandalism is a potential problem then a
stainless steel door entry system can be used. It is also possible
to obtain IP rating in entry systems where the rating is directly
linked to the vandal resistance properties of the equipment in
the fact that objects over 1mm cannot be inserted through the
face of the panel and all materials are fire resistant. This rating
also applies to the weather resistance of the system against water
flushing against the panel.
Audio systems can have access
control systems built into them for the convenience of staff
and regular callers. It is common to have either a keypad
or a proximity reader built
into the audio door entry panel to provide an override into the
building for staff.
Listed below are popular designs of audio units
with a brief description of their features. Due to the nature
of door entry, most system end up being bespoke solutions so please
make sure you contact Rednaus Ltd for a full system schedule.

Vandal Resistant Audio Entry Kits
These kits are supplied in the same way as the standard
audio kits with the exception that the entry panels are
manufactured from stainless steel and can be engraved
with building names and apartment numbers.
These panels are popular where vandalism is an issue
but they are also well used where stainless steel could
match with architectural hardware around the entrance
to give the right impression when entering a building.

DDA Style Entrance Systems
With the introduction of the DDA, it is now commonplace
to make reasonable adjustments to building to ensure that
disabled persons have access to it.
The DDA style panels are supplied in a stainless steel
panel and have Braille on the call buttons to indicate
the apartment being called, a huge benefit for people
who are visually impaired. The panel also has illumination
on it indicating when the caller has answered the handset
and when the door has been released and this benefits
people who are hard of hearing.

Audio Entry With Access Control
This range works in the same was as the standard audio
entry kits and can be supplied in standard or stainless
steel panels.
The added advantage is that access control is incorporated
into the entry panel.
The access
control can either be a keypad
to give a code entry without using the intercom or
a proximity card
entry.
These systems are ideal for main entrances into schools,
public buildings, offices, doctors surgeries etc allowing
staff to come and go freely while visitors have to use
the intercom.

Digital Audio Entry Systems
Where a large number of apartments are being controlled
from either a single or multiple entrances to a building,
it is ideal to use a digital entry system.
The system uses a numeric keypad and LCD display so that
the user can type in the apartment to call. This saves
on space and looks far superior to a panel containing
lots of individual numbered buttons.
When utilizing digital technology, it is also possible
to divert calls to other apartments or a concierge for
screened calling or privacy.
As the panel has a digital keypad, an access code comes
as standard to allow residents or workers into the building.
It is also possible to incorporate proximity
card readers into the panels.
