When a visitor arrives at a locked door or gate and no one is there to greet them, normally they walk away without talking to anyone. Now visitors press a button that calls a smartphone or other telephone and a conversation can take place from anywhere in the world. The door or gate can also be opened from a phone by a simple button press or through text messaging.
A business owner for instance can send a text message to a security gate to temporarily open it, latch it open, or check the status to find out whether it is open or closed. If an event is occurring where lots of people will be entering the gate, a text message could be sent to the gate to latch it in the open position. At the end of the event, another message is sent to close it again.
These capabilities are available through the new Infinite-Range Wireless Cell Phone Network Intercom series by RoveTec. The Infinite-Range uses a cell phone network to provide wireless communications anywhere it’s needed. As long as there is AT&T or T-Mobile cellular service at the door or gate, communication problems are solved.
When its call button is pressed, the Infinite-Range calls up to three telephone numbers. It dials the first number and if no one answers, it tries the second and then third. Visitors should always be able to reach someone so important deliveries or visitors will not be missed.
People who are allowed automatic access such as delivery drivers, landscaping personnel, friends, family members, or anyone who needs access to the property can simply place a call and the door or gate opens. Up to 100 of these phone numbers can be programmed into the system. The gate won’t open without the correct Caller ID coming in with a call.
Says IntercomsOnline.com President Tim Bruxvoort, “Not only is the Infinite-Range a great productivity tool for businesses, it can also be used for home security to make it appear you’re at home even when you aren’t. When a burglar rings your doorbell to see if anyone is home, you’ll answer and they’ll have to come up with a fake excuse of why they are there. Then they’ll move on to an easier target.” IntercomsOnline.com is RoveTec’s stocking distributor.
