Videx, the experts in door entry and access control, has launched its renowned Product Builder application online. It includes all the features in the original CD Product Builder that enables you to create an access control solution to meet your specific needs, in an easy-to-use step through wizard. Commenting on the introduction of the online version, Rob Sands, Technical Director at Videx UK, said: “The online Product Builder is both desktop and mobile friendly and can be used with any browser on Windows, Android and Apple iOS devices, with any size screen. It’s just the same as the CD version and works via a log in system where users can keep track of their system builds and share with others if they’d like to, via email.” Customising printouts and PDFs Key features of the online Product Builder include a dashboard, where users can see their current and previous builds. They can view, edit, print, create a PDF of their build, and choose to email and share with others if they wanted. The online version provides a very simple 6-step wizard to build any type of system and create a parts list with prices, parts descriptions and images. Rob added: “Users can also customise printouts and PDFs with their company logo and address, set discount structures and mark up prices and also stipulate what systems they prefer, with the ability to use only these systems they prefer or stock, so that the tool provides a tailored experience to each user.”

Access control and door entry provider Videx has introduced a new video entry system that boasts a 3.5” handsfree colour monitor, integrated optional proximity for up to 50 users, that only requires two wires to link the door panels, videophones and PSUs together. Rob Sands, Technical Director at Videx UK, said: “The wiring of these systems is very simple, meaning installation is quick and easy, so they’re a great door entry solution for houses, flats, apartments and small offices. They’re very flexible too so can be expanded to accommodate additional entrances or videophones, for example, should the need arise.” The wiring of these systems is very simple, meaning installation is quick and easy Day and night camera The system’s features include a day and night camera with infra-red illumination, call progress LEDs and an optional second camera that can be connected to each entrance for additional security. Up to four devices can be fitted within each apartment with the additional benefit of intercommunication between devices, meaning the video kit is a great choice for residential entry. Rob added: “The new system, which has between 1-12 call buttons and comes in our new updated 4000 series design, also provides proximity access if required, which can be integrated into the standard size door panel with the proximity reader concealed behind the name plate window. Coded keypad for entry is also available in the video kit range, which also provides a speaker unit with loudspeaker function, microphone volume controls and balance control, a lock release delay, and 13º camera tilting. It’s an easy to install, extremely user friendly but highly functional door entry solution.”

Videx, the experts in door entry and access control, has enhanced its renowned Product Builder application to include all the latest innovations in an easy-to-use step through wizard. Commenting on the enhancements, Rob Sands, Technical Director at Videx, said: “Systems can be created in any format and for multiple configurations, it allows you to choose the best options based on cost, complexity and functionality. On completion the wizard provides a full parts list including prices and all relevant datasheets and manuals.” Rob continued: “Additionally, the programme also allows panel preview. This is further enhanced with the feature of adding engraving details and name plate insert text. Name plate cards can also be printed from the programme allowing these to be inserted straight into the panels to give that professional finish to the installation. A handy block diagram is also created from the parts list showing the number of cores and the recommended cable type.” Other key features include Customised printable multiple page estimate, panel previews and product photos with descriptions that can carry company logo and address details; A ‘save’ option that enables a previous estimate to be revisited and if necessary amended. The parts list can also be exported as a CSV file. All estimates can be saved, printed and provided in PDF format; and Estimating wizards for the complete range of Videx systems. The CD is also a convenient source for information with easy-to-navigate sections for datasheets, manuals, brochures, application notes and instruction sheets.
