Videx introduces touch-free entry panels for helping businesses return to normal

Neil Thomas, national sales manager at Videx, explained to Security Matters: “As businesses return to normal, Health and Safety is the key priority. With our touch-free entry panels, it means visitors can alert someone of their arrival without needing to press a button. The panels can also include proximity access control, permitting authorised personnel to enter the building touch-free. Surface and flush exit buttons are available, allowing users to exit without the need to press buttons.”

The panels and buttons are compatible with a number of Videx systems including its IP system, two wire video kits and a leading GSM kit. The panels and exit buttons, which are for internal use unless appropriately protected externally, boast several key features, among them an adjustable activation range (3 cm-15 cm) and activation time (from 0.5 seconds to 20 seconds).

All panels are IP55 rated and require a power input of 12 V DC. They can operate in a temperature change from -20 degrees to 75 degrees.

Thomas concluded: “The new touch-free range can offer better protection against COVID-19 transmission as well as other viruses that can spread from touching common use surfaces and devices. We can also provide fully customised options, offering bespoke entry panels and exit buttons that are in keeping with the surroundings of the building.”
