One of the UK’s most iconic developments – Circus West apartments at Battersea Power Station in London – is using Comelit’s IP video entry system.The first phase of the development comprises of 865 apartments at the Circus West site and uses Comelit’s IP-enabled ViP entry system that sits on a shared network.
The apartments are fitted with ICONA monitors. More than 50 entrances are equipped with a mixture of 3one6 Sense flush-mounted panels, Vandalcom digital panels and Vandalcom single button panels.
Help points have also been fitted in the carparks so residents can speak to the concierge/security office.
The ICONA monitors in each apartment feature a 16:9 4.3-inch colour screen with capacitive, touchscreen and swipe activation.
The 3one6 entrance panels feature LCD graphic displays, in 4mm mirror-finishes or brushed steel, and have a concealed loudspeaker.
The network itself, supplied by Skanska Konnect, incorporates the site’s access control system, as well as Comelit’s video entry system, which consists of over 900 devices. Because it is IP-based, the system has no distance limitations and can provide an unlimited number of users with simultaneous video and audio communications.
The on-site concierge is able to manage calls made from call points to apartments, and can call individual apartments. Residents can call the concierge via the intercom directory on their ICONA monitors, and can communicate with the other apartments via the same directory, which can be programmed by the installer on request.
“We are absolutely thrilled to have been chosen to take part in this iconic and exceptional project,” said Francesca Boeris, Comelit’s managing director. “With our emphasis on cutting-edge product design and aesthetics, we are proud to be associated with a development which showcases some of the best designers in the world.”
