In 2018, one of our major suppliers, Fermax, offered an ideal and cost effective solution to complete a successful upgrade of a large apartment complex in Nottingham.

Working with its approved partner and involving over 90 apartments at Marina Park Nottingham, the challenge was to upgrade an old third-party audio-only system to a modern audio-video system. Also, with minimum disturbance to residents and without incurring excessive high cost.

 

By using the Fermax 2-Wire DUOX system along with the SKYLINE surface mounted panels and VEO-XS flat screen hands-free video monitors, the installation was completed using existing cables throughout, therefore achieving major reductions in time and material cost.

As well as its modern, slimline design, the VEO XS hands-free monitor offers the added benefit of image storage and retrieval using the 'Photocaller' function. This enables residents to view images of visitors and callers to their apartment whilst they are not at home.

A delighted installer commented: “The cables were a selection of cat 5. 8 core alarm cable and flat twin 0.5 mains flex all cables suited the DUOX system which was easy to install and easy to program, most of all it was user-friendly which to me as an installer is the most important quality“.
