The letterbox in the smart home

It has long been possible to control more than just blinds and various other electrical devices in the home via mobile phone. Mobile door communication is also becoming increasingly important. The principle is simple: imagine the postman is at the door but you are not at home. Nevertheless, you can use your mobile phone or tablet to operate the door call and simulate to the person at the front door that someone is in your home. At Briefkasten Manufaktur Lippe GmbH, we offer you smart models from the best-known and most popular manufacturers. We would now like to explain what characterises them in detail and which variant is best suited for you.

Integration into the smart home made easy

Firstly, however, we would like to briefly explain the benefits of video intercom systems. Thanks to a door intercom system with a camera, you can see who is at your front door at any time on your smartphone - a kind of modern peephole. With modern models, communication also takes place via the smartphone. So you don't have to be at home and can still simulate your presence. At Briefkasten Manufaktur, we offer you a wide range of high-quality Wifi-capable models from well-known manufacturers. You can find a detailed overview of all our partners here.

By the way: Statistics show that an IP video door station offers better burglary protection than an alarm system. Burglars usually ring the doorbell to see if anyone is at home. Thanks to our high-quality products with face recognition and Smart Home, it is easy for you to fake your presence at home.
