Electra Intercom
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.
