According to the Baden-Württemberg State Criminal Police Office, just under 13,600 cases were registered in Baden-Württemberg last year in which "false police officers" attempted to steal valuables, credit card data or cash - in around 300 cases they were successful and there was total damage over 7 million euros. In times of the corona crisis, the fraudsters have changed their methods and even come in protective suits and breathing masks and take advantage of the current situation to gain access to homes.

A video intercome can recognise who is really at the door

The older generation, particularly at risk from the virus, is often particularly affected by these scams.  The Abus WLAN video door intercom shows who is at the door and thus helps to recognise the visitor and his intentions at an early stage. It can be used to switch an electronic door opener via the app, and there is also the possibility - also via the app - to talk to the person at the door. Existing doorbell or door mechanism wiring can be used for installation and thus no complex rewiring is necessary.

For anyone who prefers mechanical protection mechanisms Abus offers a whole range such as door chains or additional locks with a locking bracket, for example, which are there to prevent strangers and uninvited guests from entering the apartment or property directly.
