The range of new features to the Videx GSM range is designed to provide users with greater flexibility, security, and convenience. Key enhancements include holiday scheduling, where users can add up to 100 holiday dates to the call time bands and access control time bands, allowing for the override of normal timed access profiles on designated holidays, and a new free access feature which enables the call button to function as a push-to-enter button during specified times/days. This is ideal for trade premises that require controlled but unobstructed access, offering security and convenience without the need to keep gates permanently open.

Videx GSM intercoms now also boast several new programmable options, including SMS forwarding, locking speech volumes during calls, disabling latch during calls, output status checks, and network provider identification. Additionally, enhanced support for programming proximity tags, cards, and access level restrictions enhances the versatility and security of the system.

Rob Sands, Technical Director at Videx Security, said: “We are thrilled to announce the latest enhancements to our GSM intercom range and the launch of our innovative Videx SMS Access app.

“These updates are a testament to Videx's ongoing commitment to innovation, security, and user convenience. The introduction of features such as holiday scheduling and free access, along with our new app, are designed to meet the evolving needs of our customers, providing them with unparalleled control and flexibility over their access needs.

“Our goal is to make access control as intuitive, secure, and convenient as possible, ensuring peace of mind for both property managers and occupants. The Videx SMS Access app, with its user-friendly interface and advanced security features, helps to achieve this goal alongside the range of new features that strengthen our GSM range.”

The GSM digital intercom range has also been expanded to include 200 additional dial-to-open numbers, access control timebands, and access levels for proximity tags and dial-to-open users. These upgrades, coupled with TLS1.2 encryption for cloud services, represent Videx’s commitment to continued entry innovation.
