Aiphone, the renowned international manufacturer of intercom and security communication products, has added the IXG-MK IP Video Guard Station to its robust portfolio of solutions in its IXG Series Multi-Tenant Video Intercom System. The IXG-MK provides visitors a convenient way to call a building’s concierge, receptionist, or security guard directly from the entrance station.

This is helpful when visitors are unsure how to reach a tenant or if they are simply trying to deliver a package to the front desk. Once safe intent has been determined, calls can then be transferred to the proper apartment or suite, or the door unlocked for deliveries.

Clear video identification

“Perimeter security is more important than ever, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and increased interest in occupancy management,” said Paul Hefty, Technical Sales & Support Engineer, for Aiphone Corp. “This additional layer of security will ensure only approved visitors will be allowed inside, keeping tenants and building assets safer.”

Those screening visitors can choose either hands-free (VOX) or full duplex (handset) communication

The IXG-MK offers flexibility and simplicity to end-users with a seven-inch touchscreen for clear video identification, video communication between guard stations, call recording, and the ability to forward calls directly to a tenant. Those screening visitors can choose either hands-free (VOX) or full duplex (handset) communication. Touching the key button will activate the door release associated with the connected entrance station or door station.

Network-based communication platform

An ideal solution for any multi-tenant housing or office facility, the IXG-MK can have up to 9,999 units in its address book and will maintain a history of calls received. The IXG Series Multi-Tenant Video Intercom solution is a sophisticated, streamlined way to connect a variety of mixed-use buildings. This series is a complete network-based communication platform offering a variety of options for any multi-tenant security application.

Throughout 2020, Aiphone will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary in North America by thanking customers, dealers, integrators, and employees for providing the opportunity to develop and improve better security and communication solutions.
