Berlin-based manufacturer, Bird Home Automation has introduced a new contactless DoorBird IP video door station using sensor technology to help fight the spread of diseases such as coronavirus.
Amidst the current pandemic, DoorBird has developed the D2101WV, an IP-based door station that enables contactless ringing to protect increasing health and safety measures people are now taking.
The integrated module with a special sensor technology is able to detects gestures such as waving and approaching of the hand at a distance of 10 centimetres and triggers a bell signal at an IP chime or indoor station. The hand gesture can also trigger a preconfigured relay which then opens the door automatically.
Other actions can also be programmed, for example, sending a push notification to the homeowner’s smartphone or an HTTP(S) call to a building automation system, or initiating a SIP call.
Communication with visitors via a mobile device is also enabled by the IP technology. Homeowners are able to see live video of the entrance area, talk to visitors, and open the door from their smartphones and tablets via the DoorBird app.
Particularly useful for multi-dwelling units that have people frequently arriving and leaving the building, it prevents homeowners and visitors coming into contact with viruses and bacteria by touching the intercom.
The D2101WV contactless solution goes into production in autumn 2020 and can be pre-ordered now.
