Analog door entry systems were the norm until a few years ago, but the entry of digital audio and video systems have revolutionized the market and customer demand.
Controlling access to a building is one of the fundamental aspects of security. In this respect, an automated door entry system is an integral part of basic infrastructure in any property, according to Fermax. However, many customers are still not sure whether to choose digital or analog doors as they are unaware of the advantages and disadvantages of both.
Of course, analog door entry systems were the norm until a few years ago, but the entry of digital audio and video systems have revolutionized the market and customer demand.
“Traditionally, most of the door entry systems installed in the past are analogue, but digital audio and video door entry systems are increasing their presence in the market because they offer advanced features and higher benefits,” said Fermax.
The company pointed out four major advantages that digital systems have over their analog counterparts.
- Audio and Video: One of the major advantages of digital door entry systems is that they are less susceptible to interferences. “Some digital video door systems integrate as well a better vision’s field on the camera thanks to an improved equipment,” Fermax said.
- Discretion: Digital door entry systems guarantee maximum privacy compared to their analog counter parts. According to Fermax, when it comes to analog door entry systems, you can listen to the conversation of your neighbor by picking up the handset when he has a door call. Digital does not allow this, enabling you to have more privacy in life.
- Easier Installation: Digital entry systems consist of fewer cables and intermediate elements. “When it comes to installation, the digital door entry system also offers great advantages over the analogue technology,” Fermax said. “While in analogue systems it is necessary to use more wires for the communication between residences and outdoor panels, in digital systems the installation is simplified with only 2 wires without polarity. If we want to extend a call station, for example, to the top floor or penthouse, it would be as simple as carrying two wires to the new point where communication is required. This also means that for the end user the installation will be more cost-effective. In addition, the change from audio to video door entry system or vice versa in the homes is quicker and does not require any works.”
- A farsighted investment: Digital door systems are ready for future improvisations. In short, digital door entry systems are the next step from analog solutions.
