Operating the Intercom
Operating the Video Intercom is quite straightforward - doubly so for a visitor -
they need only worry about pressing the one button on the outdoor unit!
Here’s a rundown of all the buttons on the interior unit and what they do.
Melody: Press to cycle through the different tones available for the doorbell. There
is no need to confirm - the tone presented when the melody button was pressed
most recently is the tone that will be heard when the doorbell is pressed.
Doorbell Volume: How loud the doorbell tone will be. There are three settings,
Low, Medium and High.
Volume, Chroma and Brightness Controls:
The volume control determines the loudness of the in-built speaker of the interior unit.
The chroma control determines how much color is in the image - more chroma
gives a vibrantly colored image, however too much color can detract from the
image quality.
The brightness control determines how light the image appears. At either
extreme, the image will seem mostly black or mostly white. Somewhere towards
the middle typically achieves the best results.
Monitor On/Off: Turns the monitor On or Off. Press once to turn
on, and again to turn off. The monitor will turn off automatically
if left for approximately 10 seconds without activity. Can be used
whether or not the bell has been rung.
Answer/Disconnect: When the doorbell is rung, this button will
activate the intercom. Press it again to disconnect. It will automatically
disconnect after a short time of inactivity.
Open/Unlock Door: To release an electric door-strike (optional -
available separately). Press and hold to keep the door strike open.
The door-strike must be connected to the indoor unit as described
on page 7.
Open Gate: To open an electric gate (optional). Press once to open
the gate - it will close automatically after a set time. The gate control
must be connected to the indoor unit as described on page 7.
