Salto’s uniquely developed XS4 Com platform enables users to communicate with visitors and manage door and gate access from anywhere. This system integrates directly with Salto’s smart access control platforms, Salto KS and Homelok, creating a unified and user-friendly door intercom and access control ecosystem accessible via web and mobile applications.

\n\n

The advanced video door intercom system centralizes all access control features into a single, comprehensive platform, making XS4 Com an all-in-one solution for managing building access and communication. Security is further enhanced by geofencing technology, ensuring that calls can only be initiated when visitors are physically near the property. Combined with seamless integration with existing Salto solutions and smart locking technology, XS4 Com iGO is adaptable to a variety of environments, ensuring secure, fast, and efficient access control.

\n\n

Ease of Installation and Use

Dahua Technology, one of the world-leading video-centric AIoT solution and service providers, announces the launch of a 2-Wire Hybrid Video Intercom System (Dahua EACH Series) tailored for apartments and villas. This innovative system promises to redefine residential security and communication with its high image quality and easy deployment features.

\n\n

“In apartment and villa scenarios, the IP systems used in newly built buildings have significantly enhanced the intercom experience. The demand for high-quality intercoms in old residential buildings is also increasing,” said Jack Lyu, Video Intercom Product Manager at Dahua Technology. “Our new EACH series meets market demands, addressing pain points such as poor analog intercom system image quality and difficulties in upgrading installations.”

\n\n

Plug-and-Play Simplicity for Enhanced Installation Efficiency

\n\n

The plug-and-play feature is a crucial benefit of the Dahua 2-Wire Hybrid Video Intercom System. In the case of upgrading or installing the intercom system in old residences, installers do not need to rewire. Easy configuration can be achieved through DIP switches, which not only improves the deployment efficiency, but also greatly reduces the cost of installation. It is also worth mentioning that in the apartment system, users can realize batch configuration and batch issuance through the web page of the controller, making apartment management easier.

\n\n

Delivering High-Quality Intercom Experiences for Residents

\n\n

Compared to traditional analog intercom systems, the Dahua 2-Wire Hybrid Video Intercom System is equipped with a 2 MP CMOS wide dynamic range camera that provides users with improved communication quality and video intercom experience. Moreover, the system also supports group calling; when a visitor makes a call, all the indoor monitors inside the home will light up simultaneously, allowing users to quickly respond from any corner of the house.

\n\n

Supporting Cameras & Alarm Integration

\n\n

With the alarm integration features, the system can send alerts to residents in time on order to ensure the security within the property. Meanwhile, the Wi-Fi enabled indoor monitors also support HDCVI cameras and IPC integration, enabling multi-system integration management through a single VTH. This helps users save on the cost of purchasing additional systems.

\n\n

Remote Operation via DMSS App for Seamless Control

\n\n

The indoor monitor supports DMSS App via Wi-Fi, through which residents can remotely control the system to realize remote answering, unlocking and arming/disarming functions anytime, anywhere, providing 24/7 protection for the residence.

\n\n

Diverse Product Design with Various Options for Residents

\n\n

What’s more, the diversified product design of the Dahua EACH Series offers more choices for users. In the apartment system, the door station with modular design further enhances the residents’ living experience. The indoor monitors are available in two models, one with Wi-Fi capability and one without, both suitable for apartments and villas. This flexibility allows customers to choose based on their specific needs.

\n\n

This latest offering underscores Dahua’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology that enhances residential security, convenience, and communication efficiency. Moving forward, the Dahua EACH Series will continue to enhance product designs and functions to accommodate a wider range of installation and usage scenarios, providing property residents with a better living experience.

Intercom products address a crucial part of the security, communications and convenience needs in both residential and business sectors, says Hangzhou, China-based Hikvision. They have evolved over time alongside the ‘leapfrog’ development in technologies created for better and safer living environments.

\n\n

The transition from analogue to IP technologies

\n\n

The intercom market is witnessing a significant transition from analogue to IP. Traditional analogue systems feature relatively poor audio and image quality and limited functionality. For example, they cannot be accessed using a mobile app or networked management systems. Although analogue systems are often a more economical option, more manufacturers and installers have recommended their customers shift to IP-based intercoms for their wider range of capabilities – including higher image resolution, mobile control, remote operation, and a series of smart functions.

\n\n

According to Allied Market Research, the IP intercom market is projected to experience robust growth. The global IP Intercom industry generated US$2.2 billion in 2020, and is anticipated to generate $4.9 billion by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 8.5% from 2021 to 2030.

\n\n

IP intercoms bring a new level of convenience

\n\n

Mobile control

\n\n

IP intercoms let owners receive calls, play video, and open locks from anywhere through just a simple touch. For example, people often receive calls on their mobile devices for package deliveries or other services when they’re not at home. IP intercoms, however, allow users to give temporary access remotely to those who need it, just using a simple mobile application. This is more convenient and much safer than manually giving out passwords or key cards.

\n\n

User-friendly interfaces

\n\n

IP intercoms commonly provide a user-friendly screen with a clearly visible interface, simple touch interaction, intuitive operation, and multi-functional information display (e.g., weather, news, announcements, etc.). These easy-to-use features help get modern consumers accustomed to using IP intercoms since they operate very similarly to mobile phones.

\n\n

High image quality

\n\n

Compared to pure analogue solutions, IP intercoms provide excellent imaging with higher resolution and wider field of view. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and night vision are also supported to help users see clearly despite challenging light conditions, such as direct sunlight or high contrast environments during the day and darkness at night.

\n\n

Intelligent authentication

\n\n

IP intercoms also support multiple access methods, from ID cards and PIN codes to biometric recognition. Additionally, following recent trends in contactless solutions, IP intercoms simplify the action of opening doors while addressing common hygiene concerns.

\n\n

All-in-one management

\n\n

IP intercoms also offer opportunities for integration with other security systems, such as video and alarms. A unified control centre ensures all-in-one linkage among various devices and systems and facilitates convenient device operation and management, improving security for businesses and home owners.
