Legrand entry control

Legrand audio and video door entry control kits, distributed by Centurion Systems, are designed to enhance safety and provide peace of mind in almost any application.

"As crime increases, well-designed security systems for controlled access are becoming more important," says Richard Rohman, marketing director of Centurion Systems. "Identifying people at the door and being able to speak to them before allowing them admission is now an affordable facility that should be considered a necessity, rather than a luxury."

Legrand door entry control units, with multiple functions, can be used for the improvement of security in any environment - whether it is a factory, an individual house, apartment, shop, medical suite, office block, hotel or housing estate.

These audio and video systems consist of slim line entrance panels, with aluminium finish and an elegantly designed indoor handset. There is a convenient gate/door release pushbutton provided on each handset to control the entrance gate or front door lock. An extra pushbutton is standard on each handset to activate an auxiliary function on the gate operator, or to control lighting outside the front door. These units are also easy to install and operate.

The domestic video kit, using only two wires, makes it easy to upgrade an existing doorbell installation to an effective security system. Legrand control kits allow the homeowner to not only communicate with but, more importantly, to view the visitor at the front door or gate before allowing access.

The video monitor and audio handset provide a clear image and good sound quality. There is also a kit available with a monitor that has a memory facility. If a visitor arrives and the homeowner is unavailable, the system will capture an image of that caller. It can store up to 32 images, recording details of the date and time of each visitor.

The audio system, with power supply that is mounted separately to the outside entry panel for greater security and improved protection, can be modified for operation off a 12 V battery, providing the user with power failure protection.

These audio units are fully expandable with entry panels available with one or two call buttons and up to three handsets connectable to each call button.

Legrand intercom equipment is available from Centurion Systems, which also offers a technical advisory and support service.
