Electra turns your phone into the handset of your video intercom. When someone presses the button on your Electra door panel, your phone rings - wherever you are. See who is at the door in live video, talk to them, and open the door with one tap. Electra is a companion app for Electra video-intercom hardware. An active Electra door panel and an internet connection are required. VIDEO CALLS FROM YOUR DOOR - The panel calls your phone through a push notification - answer or decline straight from the notification, or from the lock screen. - Real-time two-way video and audio over a direct, encrypted WebRTC connection. - Switch between speaker and earpiece during the call, and mute the microphone when you need to. - Open the door, or trigger AUX 1 / AUX 2 (gate, barrier, garage, lighting), while you are still on the call. LIVE VIEW - LOOK OUTSIDE ANY TIME - Start a live stream from your door camera on demand, without waiting for someone to ring. - Switch between the panel cameras, open the door or use the auxiliary outputs directly from the live screen. - Take a snapshot of what you are seeing and save it to your gallery. MULTIPLE DEVICES, MULTIPLE PEOPLE - Manage several intercoms - house, gate, office - from a single account. - Invite family, flatmates or colleagues by email and give them access to a device. - Admin and user roles per device: admins manage the device, its users and its settings. - Every phone linked to a device rings at the same time, and the first to answer takes the call. EASY SETUP - Add a device by scanning its QR code or by entering its code manually. - Or set it up over Bluetooth: the app finds the panel nearby and sends it your Wi-Fi credentials, step by step, with clear feedback while the panel joins the network. - Moved router or changed password? Send the new Wi-Fi details to the panel any time from Device Settings. ACTIVITY AND GALLERY - A history of your calls and events, per device. - Snapshots you saved from calls and Live View, kept in the in-app gallery. MADE FOR EVERYDAY USE - Choose your ringtone, mute the app when you do not want to be disturbed, or mute the terminal itself. - PIN protection on app resume, with reset by email. - Light and dark theme, and a clean, uncluttered interface. - Available in Romanian and English. - Sign in with Apple, Google, or an email address. PRIVACY Video and audio travel directly between your phone and your door panel over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection. Camera and microphone are used only during a call or a Live View session, Bluetooth only while you are setting a device up, and the local network only to establish the direct video connection. Electra - your door, in your pocket.
