IP Video Entrance Communication

The IX-DVF provides network-based video and audio communication between a secured entrance and compatible Aiphone answering stations.

When a visitor presses the call button:

1. The IX-DVF initiates the programmed call

2. Selected answering stations receive the call

3. Video from the IX-DVF camera is displayed
