New security and privacy features put them in control
Newly added automatic roll call master station
Creating a safe and smart residential community is the heart of what they do
Creating a safe and smart residential community is the heart of what they do. The new automatic roll call master station feature in DNAKE 280M Linux-based indoor monitors is certainly a valuable addition to enhance community security.
The feature is designed to ensure that residents can always reach a concierge or guardsman in the event of an emergency, even if the first point of contact is unavailable.
Safety and security in residential communities
Imagining this, they are troubled by an emergency and trying to call a certain concierge for help, but the guardsman is not in the office, or the master station is on the phone or offline. Hence, no one could answer the call and assist, which may result in worse.
But now they don’t have to. The automatic roll call function works by automatically calling the next available concierge or guardsman if the first one doesn’t answer. This feature is a great example of how the intercom can improve safety and security in residential communities.
SOS emergency call optimisation
The SOS icon can be readily found in the right upper corner of the home screen
Hope they never need it, but it is a must-know function. Being able to signal for help quickly and effectively can make a big difference in a dangerous situation. The main purpose of SOS is to let the concierge or security guard know that they're in trouble and request help.
The SOS icon can be readily found in the right upper corner of the home screen. DNAKE master station will be noticed when someone triggers SOS. With 280M V1.2, users can set the trigger time length on the webpage as 0s or 3s. If the time is set to 3s, users need to hold the SOS icon for 3s to send out an SOS message to prevent accidental triggering.
Secure the indoor monitor with a screen lock
An extra layer of security and privacy can be offered by screen locks in 280M V1.2. With the screen lock enabled, they will be asked to enter a password each time they want to unlock or switch the indoor monitor on. It's good to know that the screen lock function won't interfere with the ability to answer calls or open doors.
They bake security into every detail of DNAKE intercoms. Try to upgrade and enable the screen lock function on the DNAKE 280M indoor monitors as of today to enjoy the following benefits:
- Privacy protection. It can help protect call logs and other sensitive information from unauthorised access.
- Help prevent accidental changes to security sensor parameters, ensuring that they continue to work as intended.
Create a more user-friendly experience
Minimalist and Intuitive UI
They pay close attention to customers’ feedback. 280M V1.2 keeps optimising the user interface to provide a better user experience, making it easier and more enjoyable for residents to interact with the DNAKE indoor monitors.
- Optimizing the branded home page. Creating a more visually appealing and easy-to-navigate starting point for residents.
- Dial interface optimisation. Making it simpler and more intuitive for residents to select the desired options.
- Upgrading the Monitor & Answer interface to be shown in full screen for a more immersive experience.
Phonebook scaled up for easy communication
What is the phonebook?
The intercom phonebook, also called the intercom guide, allows two-way audio and video communication
The intercom phonebook also called the intercom directory, allows two-way audio and video communication between two intercoms.
The phonebook of the DNAKE indoor monitor will help them save frequent contacts, which will make it easier to catch the neighbourhoods, making communication much more efficient and convenient. In 280M V1.2, they can add up to 60 contacts (devices) to the phonebook or selected ones, based on their preference.
How to use the DNAKE intercom phonebook?
Go to Phonebook, they will find a contact list they have created. Then, they can scroll through the phonebook to locate someone they’re trying to reach and tap on their name to call. Moreover, the whitelist feature of the phonebook provides an extra layer of security by limiting access to only authorised contacts.
In other words, only the selected intercoms can reach they and others will be blocked. For example, Anna is in the whitelist, but Nyree isn’t in it. Anna can call in while Nyree can’t.
More convenience brought by three-door unlock
Residents can use the DNAKE 280M indoor monitor or the DNAKE Smart Life app to control
Door release is one of the vital functions for video intercoms, which enhances security and simplifies the access control process for residents. It also adds convenience by allowing residents to remotely unlock doors for their visitors without having to physically go to the door. 280M V1.2 allows unlocking up to three doors after configuration. This feature works great for lots of the scenarios and requirements.
If the apartment door phone supports three relay outputs as DNAKE S615 and S215, probably the front door, back door, and side entrance, they can control these three door locks in one central location, i.e., the DNAKE 280M indoor monitor. Relay types can be set as Local Relay, DTMF, or HTTP.
It is available to connect residents’ own door lock via the local relay to the DNAKE indoor monitor as it has one relay output. This feature is particularly useful for residents who have additional security measures in place, such as electronic or magnetic locks. Residents can use the DNAKE 280M indoor monitor or the DNAKE Smart Life app to control both the apartment entrance lock and their own door lock.
Camera integration and optimisation
Details of camera optimisation
Boosted by increased functionality, IP intercoms continue to grow in popularity. A video intercom system includes a camera that helps the resident view who is requesting access before granting their access. Furthermore, the resident can monitor the live stream of the DNAKE door station and IPCs from their indoor monitor. Here are some key details of camera optimisation in the 280M V1.2.
- Two-way audio: Microphone function added in the 280M V1.2 allows two-way audio communication between resident and the person requesting access. This is useful for verifying the identity of the person and for communicating instructions or directions.
- Notification display: Calling notification will be shown in name when they monitor DNAKE door station, allowing residents to know who is calling.
Camera optimisation in the 280M V1.2 further enhance the functionality of DNAKE 280M indoor monitors, making it a useful tool for controlling access to buildings and other facilities.
Easy and Broad IPC Integration
Integrating IP intercom with video surveillance is a great way to enhance security and control over building entrances. By integrating these two technologies, operators and residents can monitor and manage access to the building more effectively which can increase safety and prevent unauthorised entry.
DNAKE enjoys broad integration with IP cameras, making it a great choice for those looking for a seamless experience, and easy-to-manage and flexible intercom solutions. After integration, residents can view live video stream from IP cameras directly on their indoor monitors.
