With Qwiksmart 2.0, door calls reach your mobile device anywhere around the house or while you're out. You can instantly see who's ringing and choose whether to answer the call. You can talk to visitors and unlock the door—whenever you want! The app isn't just extremely easy to operate; installation and setup are also nearly fully automatic and complete in just a few seconds. This app requires a STR Elektronik Qwikbus intercom system and a VFS75 video indoor monitor installed at your home to function properly.
