Available now from Invision UK, RTI has announced new video intercom support for select RTI controllers and third-party intercom-enabled devices. The new offering is particularly suitable for front door access, security gates, intra-office and room-to-room applications, allowing users to communicate from point to point via their RTI devices.
RTI’s video intercom capabilities are supported on the KX3, KX7 and KX10 in-wall touch panels, the CX7 and the upcoming CX10 countertop/under-cabinet touch panels, as well as the company’s flagship T3x – delivering the company’s first video intercom-enabled handheld controller.
Via a free firmware update, dealers can also leverage video communications on compatible devices that support H.264-based video intercom via SIP. These devices also support auto answer or do not disturb modes, while a push-to-talk audio mode lets users communicate via voice only from device to device.
“The demand for intercom continues to increase and we are pleased to add video functionality across a range of RTI devices,” says Mike Everett, vice president of global sales for RTI. “Our line-up of video intercom-enabled controllers includes wired and wireless interfaces, which allows our dealers to offer their clients convenient communications between their RTI devices and third-party door stations.”
“Door entry is a new area for RTI and for many CI dealers” adds David Meyerowitz, category manager, Invision UK. “IP based door entry solutions have opened the door for CI dealers where traditionally the security contractor would have dealt with this. Door Entry is a valuable revenue stream and with the addition of the SIP video and audio integration from RTI, installers can offer an end-to-end automation and entry solution for their customers.”
