Aiphone has a number of products which feature open voice or handset intercoms with paging and door release capabilities to complement existing telephone systems.

Parking Garages & Stairwells- Secure Parking Structures and Stairwells.
Having an enhanced security system throughout your parking structure is very beneficial. Reduce exposure to danger by adding eyes, ears and voice to your physical security needs.

Perimeter- Secure any Boundary with Integrative Intercom Systems.
Ensure total ground security by choosing an Aiphone system that can interface with existing CCTV cameras. Our video door stations provide a clear, up-close image of who is requesting access, whereas CCTV images capture a broad view of an insitution's perimeter. This feature is particularly helpful when it comes to observing activity in a prison yard. By integrating with a CCTV system, overlooking suspicous behavior is no longer a problem. Another convenient benefit that many systems feature is scan monitoring. At the touch of a button, prison staff and guards can scan through each door station, audio and/or video, to hear and see if anyone is roaming the premises. With a wide variety of systems to choose from, Aiphone will fulfill the protection needs of any size facility, including its perimeter. -
Entrances- Control Access to All Entrances.
Control access to all entrances, gated perimeters, guard towers, man traps, sally ports, cell blocks, loading docks, prison yards and any prohibited areas outside, or within a correctional facility using one of Aiphone’s versatile security intercom systems. Protect your staff by giving them the advantage to safely confirm the identity of visitiors and vendors before granting access. Using Aiphone products with crisp audio and clear, up-close video images, employees can hear and see who is calling.

Installing an Aiphone system with scan monitoring capabilities makes inspecting jail cells, entire cell blocks, sally ports and man trap areas easier and safer than ever before.

Designing for Educational Security
With an increasing need to provide high level security for both staff and students, many schools are taking a proactive approach to help eliminate random violence and theft. Working with constrained budgets, schools need a cost-effective yet flexible security solution for their facilities. Whether it's preschools, K-12 schools, private or boarding schools, community college campuses, university college campuses or dormitories, Aiphone can provide a system for virtually any intercom application at reasonable prices to fit a reserved budget.
-
Entrances- Restrict Access to Secure our Students.
School entrances, portables, cafeteria loading docks, and other alternate entry ways can easily be secured by locking down buildings and restricting access during the day to prevent unauthorized and unwanted visitors. With Aiphone's video door systems identifying late students, parents, or delivery personnel is safe and efficient. Once a caller is authorized, a faculty member can unlock the entrance with an electronic door realease function, regulating who gets in and who stays out. For added convenience of keyless entry, select an Aiphone system with an embedded card reader station so janitors or faculty can enter while maintaining surveillance and safety. -
Common Areas- Supervise and Communicate in Common Areas.
Sometimes common areas such as playgrounds, gymnasiums, cafeterias, portables and parking lots are either out of reach or overlooked when it comes to installing security intercoms. Fortunately, Aiphone provides systems that have an extensive distance range so faculty will no longer have to worry about supervising these areas! Standard features like instant room-to-room communication, paging and scan monitoring are also beneficial to any educational environment. These elements allow staff to quickly correspond with each other, make general paging announcements or emergency notifications and audibly or visually check each room for anything out of the ordinary. Some Aiphone systems allow for communication over a LAN/WAN, providing greater flexibility for multiple-building campuses. -
Hallways- Monitor and Act Upon Potential Threats.
Studies show school violence is most likely to occur where students are congregated and under less supervision. High-risk times are before and after school, lunchtime and between classes. Oversee areas that are prone to vandalism and theft by utilizing Aiphone intercom stations which can be wall or ceiling mounted. The ability to monitor and then act upon potential threats is indispensable in controlling order within the school. In most schools, paging is a necessary commodity. Aiphone has products that can integrate with existing PA systems as well as products that include paging as a standard feature. Either way, general announcements or emergency notifications can be broadcast in specific areas of a school or throughout an entire campus. -
Classrooms- Communicate to Facilitate Safety.
If trouble or an emergency occur, it's imperative for teachers to be able to immediately contact the main offices, and vice versa. By using Aiphone, faculty can instantly correspond between classrooms, custodian service centers, common areas, libraries and administration offices. Principals or facility managers can notify their school attendees of any serious or formidable situations by the simple touch of a button. Another feature available with various Aiphone systems is scan monitoring. School authorities can hear and/or see what is going on in each classroom, office or any area where a door or sub station is installed. Overlooking critical circumstances will no longer be a problem with Aiphone as your security intercom provider.
Designing for Government Security
Government facilities take top priority when protecting their establishment. As an industry leader, Aiphone can provide systems that add communication to secured environments, such as local, state and federal government buildings, courthouses, city halls, embassies, consulates, police and fire stations, border control centers, transportation stations and public utilities.
-
Local- Secure City Hall.
City halls and municipality buildings range in different sizes, usually in accordance to the local population. Even with sizes varying from small, one-story buildings, to very large multi-storied structures, Aiphone has a solution to suit any access control and security need within local governments. When entry is required for buildings that operate 24 hours a day (i.e. police station, fire station), Aiphone's audio/video door stations with door release are a great choice. -
State- Monitor State Capitols.
Protect state government buildings with Aiphone's multi-functional intercom systems. Most state buildings have extensive civilian foot traffic, causing security to be harder maintained. While many buildings have installed metal detectors and x-ray machines at controlled entrances, they lack in audio/video communication. Aiphone provides that extra necessity. With our video entry security intercom systems your staff can remain safe behind closed quarters while they identify who is gaining access into the facility. This feature is particularly helpful when it comes to areas that aren't guarded or routinely monitored, such as side or alternate entrances and loading docks. -
Federal- Protect National Security.
The effect of security threats in the federal government sector has increased demand to protect national security. Due to the sensitive and classified nature of information stored in government facilities, there is a need for access-controlled areas within federal buildings. While some areas are accessible to the public, most have multiple security clearance restrictions. Aiphone door stations with an embedded card reader are a highly effective deterrent for restricted areas and can be incorporated into a CCTV and/or an access control system. By adding audio/video communication to your existing security components employees and officials can safely identify anyone requesting access into the building itself or into any sensitive or prohibited area within the building. -
Abroad- Connect Government Around the World.
Foreign government buildings, as well as armed forces abroad, have the highest threat levels and become the easiest targets because of greater restrictions put in place by host governments. With these high risk situations, a need for secured entry and communication systems from one sector to another becomes a top priority. Using Aiphone's Intercom-Over-IP technology, security control can be maintained from anywhere in the world.

Patient & Exam Rooms- Patient-to-Staff & Internal Communication.
From simple bedside call buttons and pullcords to sophisticated monitoring systems, patients have vital and constant access to nurse staff and doctors using Aiphone's Nurse Call System. However, staff can suddenly be inundated with patient alerts so two-way communication and call-in prioritization allow doctors and nurses to predicate the urgency of multiple calls and respond accordingly.

Enhance card or proximity readers with an Aiphone video intercom system. Once the visitor has been properly identified, a staff member can push a release button to unlock the door and permit access. This not only improves entry security, but it also adds convenience to your existing access control system. -
Parking Garages- Protect Exterior Areas.
Whether there is serious trouble or just simply a lost card key, empower staff and visitors with the safety and security of immediate assistance.

Heighten security effectiveness by integrating Aiphone products with an existing access control panel and/or CCTV system. Place an Aiphone unit in areas that aren't routinely monitored for emergency calling or distress purposes. Other features our systems provide are call forwarding, scan monitoring and event logging, all which are elements that help maintain a safe and protected facility. -
Assisted Living- Connect Patient Rooms to Staff.
The definition of assisted living is housing or living arrangements for the elderly, infirm, or disabled, in which housekeeping, meals, medical care, and other assistance is available to residents as needed. That includes a secure living environment as well. With Aiphone, residents can clearly identify visitors before permitting entry into a secured building or apartment. If someone feels they are in danger or get hurt and don't have the resources to help themselves, Aiphone provides emergency pullcord and bathroom call stations as well as instant communication capabilities to ensure that residents have vital and constant access to assistance at all times.

Gated communities make neighborhood living safe from unwanted or suspicous visitors. Install Aiphone at any secured perimeter to protect the values and assets of an entire community as a whole.
