The original ‘Vimar Video Door’ app is now being superseded by the ‘Vimar View’ app.

 

The ‘Vimar Video Door’ app (pictured above) will be removed from the app store and Google Play in the near future. For new call forwarding setups do not download the ‘Vimar Video Door’ app as this will not function correctly.

 

Any new configurations for call forwarding will now only function correctly if the ‘Vimar View’ app is downloaded and configured.

 

The monitors concerned are listed below:
40507
40515
40517

The icon for the ‘Vimar View’ app is shown below:

Customers who are currently using the original ‘Vimar Video Door’ app will be encouraged to update to the ‘Vimar View’ app by the manufacturer.

 

Please note that the ‘Vimar View’ app requires the user to create an account with Vimar as part of the configuration process

As a result, we decided to invest in watercoolers from AquAid.

 

Raytel Security Systems relationship with AquAid has also allowed us to help those less fortunate than ourselves as, with each purchase from them, an automatic donation is made to the Africa Trust.

 

The funds donated to the Africa Trust are used to build ‘Elephant Pumps’, which are a modified version of an age-old Chinese rope pulley system. One such pump is currently being installed in Africa on our behalf and will be a much-needed source of clean fresh drinking water for many.

 

Our organisation’s name will be proudly displayed on our well and we look forward to posting some photos of the villagers using the new well on our site soon.

 

The Small but Mighty RI-F220

 

 

AquAid has constructed over 8,000 Elephant Pumps across Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi and Liberia; and has donated over £16 million to charity. We wish them continued success with all their charity projects.

With the new Elvox Due Fili Plus technology, you can now make video and audio door entry systems in a faster, more practical and flexible way. In any building context.

 

From single villas to large residential complexes, the system - thanks to the new expansion interface - enables connecting up to 6,400 internal units and 484 external units, and the audio and video signals are received with the highest quality up to 1,200 metres away. Due Fili Plus thus ensures perfect connections between all the non-polarized devices through which pass power, audio, video and data. For efficient, high-performance communication.

 

Improved performance plus easier programming. The operator is completely independent and can, all alone, directly from the internal unit, do the programming with the external unit. After encoding the internal unit, the system is able to simulate an audio/video call from the outside entrance panel. An automatic check that provides additional assurance on the successful completion of installation.

 

The system can then be expanded just as easily as for installation. This is thanks to the 69RS interface, that can be installed even in existing systems. Due Fili Plus technology features backward compatibility with the previous Due Fili. Each appliance can thus be perfectly installed in existing installations whether they need replacements or the addition of external or internal units.

 

Compatible with all the internal units in the Vimar Group catalogue, Due Fili Plus technology can be combined with different devices: from TAB to video door entry unit 5700, the latest Elvox products, from the 7200 series to the 4.3" and 10" Video Touch Screens of By-me home automation. To ensure the greatest possible freedom of choice, thanks to a single, extremely simple, high-performance system.

I bet you didn’t know that our Soyal Access controllers have a lift control function?

 

Government buildings, luxury apartment blocks, hotels, shared office spaces are all examples of lift control applications. The lift / elevator access system available from Raytel Security Systems offers maximum versatility with a choice of code or proximity readers at a modest cost.

 

Accessibility to individual floors is programmed into the system for each code or proximity token or card via a laptop or PC or the system controller keypad. Access rights can, therefore, be changed or deleted quite easily without having to change the code, token or card. Only those lift buttons enabled by the system for a particular code, token or card will operate for that particular user, thus preventing access to any other floors.

 

The standard system is configured for buildings with up to 32 floors but an option to extend to a maximum of 64 floors is also available. Call our Sales Team for details on 01245 428510]]> Thu, 21 Jan 2016 11:59:00 +0000
