Doors controlled intuitively by touch like a smartphone

Schüco Entrance Doors with DCS Touch Display

Entrance doors can also be controlled with a simple touch! Schüco has equipped the modular panel Schüco Door Control System with a touch display, which serves for communication, control, and securing access. The elegant Schüco DCS panel made of black glass, which has received multiple awards in the field of design, is most often installed directly into the door profile and is individually configured according to the preferences of the building users. This panel can now be equipped with a touch display module with integrated door communication and electronic access control functions. The display operation is simple and intuitive, similar to smartphones. It combines several functions, such as displaying the house number, doorbell, or a scrollable name list with doorbells, a numeric code keypad, a communication system including a video camera, and a door opener.

Door Communication and Electronic Access Control in One Module

The modular Door Control System panel is assembled individually, and the programming of the touch display module functions adapts to the character of the building and the preferences of individual users. The motion-detecting video camera activates the system as soon as someone approaches the entry area. The display content depends on the type of building.

The initial display is a backlit house number; next, the doorbell symbol with the owner's name is most often displayed, followed by a scrollable name list with doorbells. A portrait silhouette can also be replaced by a real photo of the resident. Pressing the doorbell symbol triggers a ringing sound, accompanied by a confirmation signal. The video camera simultaneously transmits the image of the guest to the intercom (which can be an internal Schüco video station, IP video phone, smartphone, softphone, or tablet), allowing the resident to see who is coming from a distance. The wide-angle camera lens generously captures the entire entry area. The intercom allows for verbal communication between the resident and the guest, and in such a case, the mouth symbol appears on the display. The device automatically adjusts to any loud surroundings and ensures clear communication, as well as changes the screen brightness depending on ambient light. If the resident decides to open the door, a door symbol appears on the display, allowing the guest to enter.

Authorized persons can directly navigate to the keypad on the display, and after entering the numeric code, the door will automatically open. Access authorization can be programmed and managed temporally through the Schüco DCS Touch Display - by specifying specific hours or working days, making it easier to control access, especially for service providers when the building can only be made accessible during precisely specified times.

Numeric Keypad with Rotating Number Order

In terms of security, the touch display module also brings a new dimension. Before each new entry, the digits on the code keypad change their order so that the entry code cannot be deciphered from potential fingerprints. Integrated mechanical and acoustic theft protection for the touch display is also included. Additionally, the DCS touch display is encrypted with the internal control unit; the lock is securely secured from the inside via the IP security connector. In the event of the theft of the touch display, the IP security connector will automatically disconnect from the network, preventing manipulation with the lock and any intervention in the internal network.

Doors under Control from Anywhere in the World

With full connection to the IP network and the use of internet technologies, the Schüco DCS Touch Display opens up entirely new possibilities and applications. Installation is possible in virtually all buildings with network wiring. The transmission of audio and video calls occurs via the open SIP protocol and can be instantly received on IP video phones, smartphones, tablets, and softphones, both within the local network and remotely via the internet. Thanks to this, you can know who is standing in front of your doors from anywhere in the world.

Flexible software offers individual programming and function expansion. For instance, when installed in the entry areas of pharmacies, it can be set to automatically display information about the nearest open emergency service on the display on weekends. POE technology (Power over Ethernet) allows for data transmission and power supply through a single network cable.

Into the Door and on the Wall

The installation of the Schüco DCS touch display usually occurs by embedding it into the outer frame or door leaf. Upon request, surface mounting or installation into a wall panel is also possible. In addition to the minimized number of components, the installation is facilitated and accelerated by prefabricated accessories with clear labeling.
