Sluishuis opts for full-IP door communication technology

The iconic Sluishuis fits in perfectly with the Eye Film Museum, NEMO and the Pontsteiger building. In all projects the innovative IP door communication system of Vercoma was chosen. With iPlusBUS from Beoview, E-installer ETB Cas Sombroek benefits from all the advantages of a 100% pluggable system, while residents reap the rewards of a future-proof door communication system that meets all the requirements.

ETB Cas Sombroek is a trusted installation partner of Vercoma. Moreover, the Beoview IP door communication system, which Vercoma carries exclusively, was already prescribed in the specifications, explains Arjan Schouten, Manager Sales & Service at Vercoma. "Back in 2018, together with installation consultant DWA, we laid out the outline for the iPlusBUS system. Based on this, ETB Cas Sombroek made the first installation drawings, which we fine-tuned together. In our workshop we further engineered, configured and programmed the door communication system so that the installer can connect everything plug-and-play. Our Danish sister company also shared a Danish leaflet so that Bjarke Ingels Group's architects could also learn about all the system benefits."

100% pluggable

With iPlusBUS from Beoview, Vercoma offers a future-proof, extremely powerful and flexible door communication system, which can bridge unlimited distances and has unlimited connection capacity. "iPlusBUS offers all the advantages of full-IP door communication technology, but in combination with the familiar traditional simple bus infrastructure," Schouten said. "Other IP systems on the market are star-wired, making installation complex as well as expensive. iPlusBUS changes this Thanks to this door communication system, installers no longer need all that extra cabling. The system is 100% pluggable, so it can be installed quickly and flexibly. For example, on the beautiful sloping side of the new building, where straightforward installation is not an option, this flexibility offers a solution."

Futureproof

"iPlusBUS is very interesting price-wise," Schouten emphasizes. "Moreover, we offer as much as a 5-year warranty on the system! Thanks to free firmware updates, iPlusBUS remains up-to-date for years to come. The system can also be flexibly adapted or expanded. For example, it is possible to place a call panel at one's own front door or to add additional monitors. The number of simultaneous call channels is practically unlimited, which offers great advantages in a building with 442 homes and several interconnected entrances."

At the 4 entrances of Sluishuis, Vercoma's ultra-thin and very compact BEOKEY-C code-scroll panels will be installed. In the apartments, the beautiful 7″ video touchscreen BEOVIEW7 Lite-S was chosen, which offers ample expansion options. Consider, for example, the integration of a BWCM Wifi click-in module, so residents can receive calls on their smartphones as well, if necessary.
