Bellon
Ethernet Video Intercom
Sydney-based Beltronics Longreach has developed an innovative suite of Ethernet Intercom products for condominiums, apartments and gated communities.
The system uses Internet Protocol (IP) and works over structured cabling, a standard feature in all new development projects. This negates the need for a costly, dedicated network – as well as significantly increasing reliability.
Sales Director Brian Rodrigues said the Bellon system was the first of its kind in the world. He said one of the major advantages to the system was the fact that it was powered over the Ethernet which is well known for its stability.
“All current door entry intercom systems utilise proprietary cabling systems that can make the electronics sensitive to voltage fluctuations, especially during electrical storms,” he said.
“Our system is significantly more reliable because it operates on the Ethernet, which has been proved to be a very reliable and robust network platform.”
The Bellon system uses a colour video intercom which allows residents to view their visitor before allowing or denying admission.
The system allows an unlimited number of entry and apartment stations to be installed on any single network. In fact several networks or buildings may be combined to work as one network, using fiber optics, making monitoring and system maintenance very convenient.
Mr Rodrigues said the IP-based system was flexible enough to allow units to also be connected over a wireless network (Wifi). This was useful in buildings with accessibility issues or in cases where the cost of new cabling would be very high.
Several Bellon systems have already been installed in Australia and trials are being conducted in the US and Middle East. Mr Rodrigues said the system had major export potential.
The Bellon design team is now looking to develop more innovative features in its current range, including new units more suitable for industrial applications such as transport, correctional centres and healthcare facilities.
