Specialists in door entry and access control, Videx has expanded its GSM offering, introducing a new device compatible with its flagship VX2200.

Strengthening Videx’s presence in the GSM entry market, the new 2270 is a 2G/3G device which is suitable for both new and existing systems within residential apartments. It can call up to 180 apartments with the facility to release the door after verifying the caller.

It’s 2 wire audio and 6 wire video versions enable audio calls to be made from any of the VX2200 entrances to a mobile phone or land line.

The 2270’s three auxiliary ports are fully programable and can perform such tasks as sending text messages and activating relays for different functions.

Neil Thomas, National Sales Manager at Videx, said: “The 2270 offers residents the facility to answer calls from their VX2200 system even when they’re not at home, offering additional security to their property. The device diverts a call directly to the resident’s mobile or alternative land line, so that they’re always aware of who is visiting, even when they’re away. A key feature is the facility to connect multiple entrances (up to 15) using only a single SIM card. Also featured within the device is a dial to open facility for up to 3,000 telephone numbers with 3 relay output. A caller can ring the 2270 and if their number is stored in the dial to open list it will activate one or more of the relays.”
