TCI Makes Access Control Easy – Improve Your Building Security from Your Phone
While data security is crucial, protecting customers and employees from physical threats is equally important. Security cameras have become standard equipment in schools, hospitals, hotels, and businesses, serving as a front line of defense.
However, integrating these video feeds into a broader unified communications (UC) platform can be challenging. TCI offers a solution that simplifies this process which allows you to manage building access right from your phone.
Advanced Access Control Solution
TCI’s cutting-edge Access Control solution integrates seamlessly with your existing communications infrastructure, offering:
- Live video display on your videophone when someone approaches your doors
- Real-time audio feed for communication with visitors
- Pop-up buttons on your phone to lock or unlock doors
- Ability to send notifications to employees, students, or emergency services in case of an incident
This customized solution from TCI combines various technologies to create a unique solution to specific security challenges.
How It Works
- A visitor arrives and rings the video doorbell camera.
- This triggers a call to the receptionist’s IP phone.
- The phone’s video screen displays a real-time video feed, indicating which door is the source.
- After a brief conversation, the receptionist can open the door via an on-screen button.
- In case of a potential threat, they can select an “evacuate” button to notify security or emergency services.
Stay Ahead of Potential Threats
TCI’s Access Control solution extends the functionality of existing products by integrating them with third-party solutions and services. It combines:
- Voice, video, and messaging capabilities
- IP phones supporting real-time video feeds and touch-activated prompts
- Text-based messaging for emergency and non-emergency situations
- Third-party products like video cameras, screen-capture software, SIP-enabled remote access control systems, and local alarm services
By tying everything together, TCI can transform your IP phone into a security command center that controls communication, identification, and notification.
