Powerful, flexible and plug-and-play door communication system

Near the Westerpark and Leeuwarden's lively downtown area, two apartment buildings with stylish, classic architecture were recently completed. A third building is under construction. Plan Vondel Parck is characterized by closed masonry volumes, overhanging eaves and traditional materials. High windows ensure maximum daylighting, while HR++ solar control glazing, air/water heat pumps and underfloor heating guarantee optimal sustainability and comfort. Vercoma's innovative IP door communication system also contributes to this. With iPlusBUS from Beoview, residents enjoy all the benefits of a full-IP door communication system.

Vercoma Communication Systems' exclusive Beoview IP door communication system was already prescribed in the specifications. Several installers requested quotations from the specialist in innovative door communication and access control solutions, after which Otte Installations from Sneek was awarded the contract. "In consultation with Otte Installations, the iPlusBUS door communication systems were further engineered, assembled and programmed based on the client's requirements. This allowed the installer to connect the systems plug-and-play," said Account Manager Sander Schram.

With iPlusBUS from Beoview, Vercoma offers a future-proof, extremely powerful and flexible door communication system that can bridge unlimited distances and has a truly unlimited connection capacity. "iPlusBUS offers all the advantages of full-IP door communication technology, but in combination with the well-known traditional simple bus infrastructure," Schram said. "In addition, we offer as much as a 5-year warranty on the system! iPlusBUS is very price competitive against traditional systems." The system for Vondel Parck includes 7-inch touchscreen monitors in the residences and V-touch mini touchscreen exterior door panels at the main entrances. "By customer request, we powder coated the V-touch mini panels in the specific anthracite gray RAL color 7016. In this way, the panels perfectly match the color scheme chosen by the architect for the apartment buildings."

iPlusBUS units are connected very simply with a Cat5e cable in bus topology. "There is no server, so the iPlusBUS units communicate with each other at lightning speed and peer-to-peer. All commands for video, audio and data are also AES256 encrypted for optimal security!" said Schram. "Future firmware updates are free of charge, so the door communication system remains up-to-date for years to come. As high-tech as the iPlusBUS door communication system is under the hood, the system is easy to use for visitors and residents alike. The systems in the first two buildings are now functioning to their full satisfaction."
