Access control for businesses via telephone – Auerswald collaborates with DoorBird

Greater security and transparency in access control: Auerswald, Germany’ s leading specialist in business communication, and Bird Home Automation GmbH, manufacturer of DoorBird intercom systems, announce their technology partnership. The first joint project is the integration of a DoorBird IP video door station with a telephone device from Auerswald’ s COMfortel D series via an Auerswald COMtrexx PBX server. The system is already in use with initial customers, and further joint solutions are planned.
