What is access control?

With the advanced action Access control you can link a touch button of an external video unit to a touchscreen, a chime or a door lock. When the button is touched, the chime sounds for a programmable amount of time. Meanwhile, the call will be sent from the external video unit to all linked devices: touchscreens, smartphones and tablets. If desired, you can answer the call and unlock the door using this device.

You can also link a basic or advanced action and decide when a call comes in whether you want to activate that action or not.
