Using IP Door Entry Systems

 

What is an IP system? 

An IP system is a door entry system which communicates on a network. Wiring is simplified as everything in the system is wired to a PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch which supplies the data as well as the power. This wiring is done by Network cable (CAT5/6 cable) and terminated via an RJ45 plug.

 

What is the difference between an IP system and a 2-wire system?  

The difference lies in the way they communicate, devices communicate directly based on a Point-to Point infrastructure. An IP system is networked with a cable of 4 twisted pairs (8 wires) these include: CAT5 or CAT6 compared to a 2-wire system which has only two wires.

 

Benefits of an IP System:

  • No need for seperate power supplies thanks to the PoE switch.
  • Communicates directly with the network and registered handset, meaning no need for a monitor inside the flat.
  • Integrates with other IP systems. For example, the video feed from the panel can be used by a CCTV System as another camera.
  • Allows the installer to freely assign a range of IP addresses according to the needs of each project, which facilitates the control over the networks.
  • HD video quality and digital audio which ensures high quality communication.
  • Ability to integrate the panel with a Home Automation IP System.

 

Drawbacks of an IP System:

  • Not as simple as a 2-wire system, and requires RJ45 plugs to connect to the network.
  • Necessary to configure the system; the IP ranges need to match the network they are being wired into.
