Videx has introduced a new series of digital door entry panels with advanced features for building access control. The 4212 panel is vandal resistant and best suited to low, medium and high-rise apartments, student accommodation, business establishments and housing association properties. It adds to the existing Videx range of digital door panels but carries better, more advanced features. It is also Secured by Design accredited, the Police initiative for designing out crime through physical security.

Further features include an integrated wide angle (155°) 570k pixel camera and proximity reader. The 4212, which is capable of calling up to 1,000 apartments, includes coded access for up to 2,800 codes. Proximity access can be self-contained for up to 2,800 users or the integral reader can be used with the Portal Plus access control system or third party access control supporting the Wiegand protocol.

Steve Natton, Special Projects Manager at Videx, said: “The 4212 includes many new features that makes the process of calling an apartment from an entrance easier. These include a graphical LCD screen which displays text and intuitive icons during the calling progress. The voice annunciation feature verbally guides the visitor through the process of calling an apartment. What’s more, the backlit keypad with piped number 5 key not only allows the keypad to be used when lighting is poor but also aids visually impaired visitors, making it fully compliant to the Disability Discrimination guidelines under The Equality Act 2010.” The panels are available in flush or surface variants and in the standard vandal resistant form or in the 4000 series frame.
