Aiphone Intercom Accessories

In certain situations, Aiphone intercom accessories may be needed to take full advantage of the exceptional features offered by Aiphone intercom systems. These intercom accessories can range from mounting plates to ceiling speakers to door release relay modules. All accessories are built with precision and quality for optimal use with an Aiphone intercom system.

Aiphone offers a great selection of mounting plates, frames and mounting brackets. For example, the Aiphone 1-Gang mounting plate is created for the DA series of intercoms and will securely hold the door station in place. Some other mounting accessories include the Aiphone mullion mounting bracket, ceiling mounting frame, and the Aiphone mounting plate designed for the JF-DV, JK-DV and MKW-P intercom systems.

Aiphone accessories also include speakers that can be used with certain intercom systems. For example, the Aiphone 10-W horn speaker is compatible with the LEF series and is ideal for making announcements. Since the speaker is weatherproof, it can be used both indoors and outdoors. Aiphone LEF intercoms are also compatible with the SP-20N ceiling speaker, which provides excellent two-way communication. The SP-20N ceiling speaker is also recommended for use with the LEM and NEM series.
Many Aiphone intercom systems include a door release feature that can be operated with the installation of a door relay module that acts as the interface between the door strike contact and the actual release mechanism. The Aiphone Form C Door Release Relay, for example, provides N/O contact for electric strikes and N/C contact for magnetic locks. It is compatible with the JF, JK, LEM-1DL or LEF series.

Aiphone offers a wide selection of intercom accessories that are built to last, easy to install, and extremely affordable.

Aiphone LEM

Aiphone LEM

While Aiphone is known for designing sophisticated, multi-feature intercoms, they also offer simpler intercom systems that are as equally reliable. Aiphone LEM intercoms, for example, provide open voice communication and are ideal for monitoring rooms.  LEM-1 and LEM-3 master stations can be used with one or up to three sub stations respectively.  Perhaps two of the most convenient features offered by this system are hands-free communication at the sub station, and push-to-talk communication at the master station.  LEM intercoms are also compatible with any LE-series sub or door station.

Included in the LEM series it the LEM-1DL door sentry system. This is an ideal system for many businesses since it provides communication from a door station to an inside station that is behind a secured door. A door release strike can be activated from the interior station to open the door for visitors that have been screened. With hands free communication at the door station and push-to-talk communication at the interior station, the LEM-1DL intercom plays an integral part in security for many businesses.

In addition to the LEM-1, LEM-3, and LME-1DL intercoms, Aiphone also offers other audio intercoms that are as effective in providing unhindered communication and dependable security. The LEF audio series, for example, offers a wide range of intermixable master, sub, and door stations that can accommodate any facility. Aiphone’s DB series and NEM series are also among the top sellers of audio intercoms. By providing systems like these, Aiphone has gained reputation as the leading manufacturer of intercoms in the world.

Aiphone Multi-tenant intercoms

Aiphone multi-tenant intercoms are the ideal security systems for apartments, condominiums, and other residential buildings. These intercom systems ultimately give tenants the confidence of knowing that only authorized visitors are able to enter their apartment building. A resident must “buzz in” a visitor to allow them access into the building. Among the leading multi-tenant intercom systems are the Aiphone GF and Aiphone GH series.

The Aiphone GF series is a line of audio sentry systems that are specifically designed for multi-tenant buildings. Up to five entrance panels can be installed in the building and these panels can be synched with up to 250 tenant locations. The entrance stations are vandal-proof and weather resistant, with individual call buttons. As for the inside stations, each apartment is allowed one or two wall-mount interior stations that are equipped with a handset and a convenient door release button.

The Aiphone GH series is an audio/video security system for residential or commercial buildings. The added benefit of this system is that tenants can view the visitors before granting them access to the building.  Each tenant may have one to four color video monitors in their apartment to identify visitors and to also monitor the entrance area. Tenant stations are equipped with an automatic door release button, service and emergency call buttons, and other key features to actively secure their residential building.

Aiphone multi-tenant intercoms are not limited to the GF and GH series. The Aiphone DB series, DA-1DS, and DA-4DS series are audio entry security systems designed for quick and easy installation in multi-tenant buildings.

Aiphone IP Intercoms & Intercom Systems

Aiphone IP Intercom

Accessing your security system via a personal computer is a convenience offered by the Aiphone IP intercom. These systems come with software enabling users to utilize their PCs as the master station for the intercom system, thus making it easier to manage door security from any network location. Aiphone IP intercoms are compatible with 32 bit operating systems, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

When connected to the internet, users can identify and communicate with visitors through their computer, while simultaneously recording the video on to their hard drive. Additionally, when there is a visitor at the door, an email notification with a picture is sent out. These email notifications can of course be accessed via PCs, cell phones, and other mobile devices, making it even more convenient to effectively manage a building’s security.  Once the visitor has been identified and confirmed, the user can easily unlock the door using the computer software.

The door station can be viewed on up to 10 PCs which enables multiple users to monitor the entrance. In case of an emergency, the inside stations can easily communicate with the PCs so that backup assistance is readily available.

Aiphone IP video intercoms are offered in a box set that includes a JK-1MED video master station with picture memory, JKW – IP network adaptor, PS- 1820UL power supply and software. The box set also includes one of the following door stations: JK-DA plastic mount door station, JK-DV zinc die cast surface mount door station, or the JK-DVF stainless steel flush mount door station. Any of these IP intercom box sets would be an ideal security solution for a business, school, or healthcare facility.

Aiphone Video Inercoms

Aiphone Video Intercom & Intercom Systems

Video intercoms are an affordable solution to enhancing security for your office building or home. These systems give users the ability to actively monitor entryways and screen visitors, while staying safely behind a locked door. Some of these video intercoms have the capability to record picture images so that you can keep an accurate record of visitors to your home or business. Others have a door release feature where the door can be opened electrically by the person monitoring the inside station. When purchasing a video intercom system, it is important to know what features you need and to choose a manufacture that is reputable and reliable. One such company is Aiphone Inc., a leading provider of security systems. They offer a wide selection of video intercoms that can be used at homes, offices, hospitals, and other business sectors.

Two of the most popular lines of Aiphone video intercoms are the JK series and the JF series. Models in these series are equipped with a high resolution color TFT monitor. They also provide the convenience of hands-free (VOX) or push-to-talk (PTT) communication. The systems are easy to install, have an attractive design, and are loaded with nifty features. For business owners wanting secured access for their employees, the JF series includes a model that has an embedded card reader. 

Of course Aiphone’s video intercom systems are not limited to the JK and JF series. They also offer the Aiphone KB series and Aiphone KC series which include handsets for the inside stations. Other video intercoms include the AX series, Aiphone JA series, and KCS-1ARD series, all of which are designed to be an effective and affordable video sentry system.

Aiphone JF Intercom

Aiphone JF

The Aiphone JF series includes a line of hands-free intercom systems that provide reliable security for commercial, educational, government, healthcare, and residential markets.  Features for the JF series vary for each model but generally, the intercom systems include a high resolution color TFT monitor for viewing the outdoor premises with much better clarity and detail than a black & white monitor. The JF series also offers easy installation, hands free VOX communication, a door release feature, and an all call button. One neat feature is its picture memory which automatically records images of visitors that press the CALL button from the door station. Another great feature is the MONITOR button that turns on the camera at the door station so that users can discreetly scan and survey outside activity. If for some reason, the user wishes to remain anonymous, the system also has an option of recording a custom entrance message that can be played manually at the door station for visitors. 

The JF series offers flush mount or surface mount door stations that are equipped with a video camera featuring LED illuminators that activate during low-light conditions. This makes it easier to identify visitors at night.  The door stations are compact and attractive in design. Some JF series door stations are embedded with card readers to allow easy access to employees and authorized visitors.  In short, the JF series video intercoms are an affordable and reliable security option for any business or home.

Aiphone Integratable Intercoms

Aiphone Integratable Intercoms

For those businesses that already have active security components intact, an Aiphone integratable intercom provides the convenience of synching existing security components with an advance intercom system.  Perhaps the most popular series of Aiphone’s integratable intercoms is the AX series: Audio/Video Security System.
The Aiphone AX series is equipped with features that are ideal for scanning and monitoring interior hallways, protecting outside entrances, and safeguarding remote areas of the building. Door stations for the AX series are vandal proof and weather-resistant. They can be flush mount or surface mount, audio or audio/video capable and some door stations are embedded with card readers for further security.  A mullion mount door station is also available for areas where video identification is not required. For the AX series, Aiphone offers a color audio-video master station or an audio only master station. These interior stations allow for selective calling, all calling, and are equipped with a door release feature. Most important of all, the AX series can be integrated into existing security components such as CCTV systems. For example, a parking garage can be monitored by integrating the AX series with a CCTV camera. The AX series also has the option for telephone transfer and electronic access control.

In addition to the AX series, Aiphone also offers other integratable intercoms including the AI-900, AN-8000, and Aiphone AXW-AVT series. All of these intercom systems can enhance security and communication for your business by working with existing security components in the building.
