Video Door Phone VDP

A video door phone, also known as a video intercom or video doorbell, is a security system that allows homeowners or business owners to see and communicate with visitors at the door before granting access. Here's a quick breakdown:

How it Works

1. Outdoor Unit (Door Station):

   • Equipped with a camera, microphone, speaker, and sometimes a call button.

   • Installed near the entrance or gate.

   • Some models include night vision and motion detection.

2. Indoor Unit (Monitor Station):

   • Features a display screen to view live video from the outdoor unit.

   • Has controls for two-way audio communication, door unlocking, and sometimes recording.

   • Can be wall-mounted or portable (tablet-style).

3. Door Unlocking Mechanism (Optional):

   • Integrated with an electric strike or smart lock.

   • Allows you to unlock the door remotely via the indoor unit or a smartphone app.
