Video calls

Video call

— a simplified and "lightweight" analogue of the call panel: a doorbell with a built-in camera and a Wi-Fi module.

Such devices differ from video panels in two key points. First of all, they do not provide the ability to control a magnetic lock — in other words, you cannot open the door remotely via a video call. On the other hand, a video call does not require an intercom or other special equipment — video and audio from such a device is transmitted via Wi-Fi to a smartphone, tablet or computer with a special application installed. Thus, video calls are as simple as possible to install and configure. Note that the specific capabilities of such devices may be different: for example, some of them only send a signal to the connected gadget, others are equipped with an internal unit with a speaker and can be used similarly to conventional doorbells. And some models are able to work even via the Internet, which allows you to communicate with the visitor without being on site.
