About

Read full description

The "my sks" app enables convenient, intuitive and mobile door communication. Use your SKS door intercom simply and conveniently via your iPhone or iPad. The video image of your door camera is transferred to your end device before the call is accepted when the door call is received - you can decide at will whether you want to open or not. Manage missed door calls via image memory and mailbox function, use the door viewer or additional equipment on site (e.g. SKS switching actuator). Together with the required SKS IP gateway 2, the SKS app "my sks" is an ideal addition to your door intercom system for convenient and mobile communication. In view of factors such as radio network quality and battery level, the app does not serve as a replacement for an indoor call station. SKS therefore generally recommends the use parallel to a wired system. Detailed information on the SKS product portfolio can be found on our website at www.sks-kinkel.de
