Mobile door communication via mobile phone - smart solutions for modern homeowners
Whether on holiday, in the office or on the move - with mobile door communication via smartphone, you are always connected. It has never been easier to see who is at your door from anywhere, speak to visitors and even open the door if necessary. Thanks to advanced systems from GIRA, Comelit and DoorBird, your home will be safer and more convenient.
Why mobile door communication?
Mobile door communication offers numerous advantages: you can simulate presence, document missed visits and interact remotely. This is not only practical, but also increases security, especially if you are not at home for a longer period of time.
Whether it's a postman, neighbour or unknown visitor - with just a few clicks on your smartphone or tablet, you can receive live video and audio transmission. The impression that you are at home can be conveyed in a targeted manner - even if you are on holiday or in the shower.
