The Door Entry Phone – A Modern Entry System
Remember when access control to the office was a huge bone of contention for the staff who worked there? Everyone would be involved in some kind of important project, heads down, keyboards fluttering away – and then the intercom would go, its shrill buzz sounding like an oversized and enraged hornet in the library atmosphere of the working day. There'd be that inevitable pause, while everyone within hearing distance secretly hoped that someone else would get up, cross the office and buzz down to see who was there. Or, even worse, have to actually go down the stairs into a cold foyer and check the arrival out visually. Well, thanks to the all new door entry phone, those days are behind us forever.
The problem with old style entry systems was that they were so inflexible. There are some pieces of work carried out in a normal office that really don't bear interruption – like comparing two enormous sets of data to see if there are any anomalies. One loud buzz and that work goes out the window – the poor person doing it pretty much has to throw up his or her hands in despair and start over. Companies that use a door buzzer experience this pretty much daily – and it's compounded by the fact that everyone who hears the thing go off h as his or her concentration broken, because the person knows it might have to be him or her that ends up going to answer the door. A door entry phone is a completely different animal. Here, the visitor buzzes an intercom as per usual – but that buzz, rather than sounding like an alarm in the office above, simply rings through to a nominated phone handset.
As long as the handset is part of the system, the door phone buzzer "calls" either a singly nominated handset (which means no-one has to break their concentration because the person with the nominated phone already knows that he or she is going to answer), or every phone hooked into the system. The sound of a ringing phone is a much more natural part of the ambient noise of an office, and one that people tend not to pay any attention to – so anyone hearing it just goes on with his or her work as normal. No more broken spreadsheet comparisons, and no more frustration and annoyance.
Because the door entry phone is hooked up the whole office network, anyone embroiled in a particularly important or in depth project simply diverts his or her phone to silent voicemail – as they would do anyway. That means that the door entry buzzer is no longer capable of intruding on important work – it just rings to all the phones that have not been turned off. Anyone who hasn't turned off his or her phone simply picks up the handset, identifies the caller, and lets him or her in by means of a soft key on the phone itself, which opens the main door.
The new door entry phone has been a long time coming – but it's here, and it's already making offices all over the UK a less stressful place to work in.
