Neon Door Entry Systems vs. Wireless Door Entry Systems
Wireless Door Entry Systems
At first glance, Wireless Door Entry Systems may seem appealing, but several issues quickly surface.
These systems operate using the mobile phone network, relying on a SIM card located in the door panel. This dependence on mobile networks means that any service interruptions can impact the door entry functionality.
You must regularly update the system with residents’ phone numbers as people move in and out or change their numbers. This process becomes increasingly cumbersome with multiple blocks.
Access to update these numbers is controlled by the system suppliers, leaving you reliant on their availability and subject to any associated costs, which can change unexpectedly. Many of these companies are based abroad (e.g., in China or France), raising security concerns regarding data stored on foreign servers in relation to GDPR compliance.
As a result, control over these Door Entry Systems is limited.
If any of these providers cease operations, all blocks utilising their systems would require complete replacement, as you would no longer be able to update phone numbers for new or existing residents.
Neon Door Entry System
The Neon Door Entry System is proudly designed and manufactured in the UK, offering a conventional approach that’s truly “fit and forget.” It is highly regarded in both the industry and among local authorities and the private sector.
Our system operates on a BUS-based architecture with minimal block wiring (just door panels and distribution nodes) and no central equipment.
Once installed, it does not rely on mobile networks, eliminating the need for ongoing updates of residents’ phone numbers.
The system is entirely within your control, ensuring you are not subject to any external constraints. It remains unaffected by weather conditions or network issues, and no permissions are required from external parties.
Optional Additional Service: The Neon Door Entry System can integrate with the “Ring” intercom system, allowing residents to receive calls on their mobile phones via the “Ring” app. Importantly, this service does not require updates to phone numbers by the local authority, and a “Ring” doorbell is not necessary to utilise this feature.
