A visitor using the Elekta panel sees information displayed on a 3.5-inch screen. The panel’s built-in wide-angle colour camera captures images of the visitor and the resident views this on an internal monitor within their apartment.

The Elekta Inox meets the performance requirements of the Equality Act. The alpha-numeric keypad features back-lit LED illumination to assist the visually impaired and the range of mounting heights complies with recommendations for wheelchair-users in the Wheelchair Housing Design Guide.

The panel offers both door entry and access control. Installers are able to provide secure, hassle-free entry for residents via an integral proximity reader that can be used with 125 kHz or 13.56 MHz Mifare technology. Residents also benefit from a duress function that allows them to open the door with a code and at the same time send a signal to the concierge that there’s a problem.

The 316-grade micro-brushed stainless steel panel is flush-mounted to the fascia of entrances. The flush moving elements and hidden security fixings factor out pry points to protect against vandalism, which also increases the service life of the product.

There are also Elekta panels in steel, glass and 316L marine-grade stainless steel. The Elekta Inox is available both with Urmet's Ipervoice full IP system, as well as with the 2voice two-wire system.

Mark Hagger, Sales & Marketing Director at Urmet, says of the product: "The Elekta Inox is unobtrusive and neutral. It has Urmet's unmistakable design values and will be popular amongst architects looking for an attractive flush-mounted entrance panel. Whatever a building's style or age, there is now a door entry panel from the Elekta range offering excellent security with an aesthetically pleasing appearance."
