About

IpDoor Mobile

Features
Read full description

The IpDoor App is much more than a way to answer your smart video door phone! By installing the App on your smartphone or tablet, you can answer the video door phone while you are on the go or at home. You will also be able to remotely manage all buildings in a complete and customizable way and control all the accesses of the structures in which an IpDoor door station is installed such as your front door, your office entrances or the gates of your beach house. Each entrance and each door station can be managed by several people who can be assigned different roles. Using the App you can check who has entered the house and at what time as often as you wish by consulting visitor history. You can also review videos recorded and stored by the licensed station locally or in the cloud. By using push notifications, the App doesn't always need to be active: it is woken up to a call by a notification. This means it won't consume a phone’s battery. The interface of the IpDoor App is both immediate and simple to use. It allows you to keep the number of buildings and entrances associated with a given account under control, as well as maintaining control of the number of users connected and the visitor history. You can open the entrances with which an IpDoor station is associated using a simple gesture, keeping the history of all actions recorded by the station close at hand.
