A lot of office buildings and apartments in Indonesia still rely on security guards as the only way to verify visitors at the entrance. A video door phone adds an extra layer of security that's cheap to install but often gets left out of the planning.
How is it different from a regular audio intercom?
An audio intercom only lets you hear who's talking, you can't actually confirm who's standing at the door. A video door phone adds a camera to the outdoor unit (for example the Fanvil i64 or i67), so residents can see the visitor's face before deciding to open the door, whether from an indoor station like the i564W or through the Fanvil Link phone app.
Pick what you need: from basic to face recognition
Fanvil offers door phones in several tiers, so you can match the device to your needs and budget:
- i60 / i60K: a basic door phone with a plastic housing and IP65 rating, good for small projects or secondary doors.
- i64: a standard door phone with a metal housing and IP66/IK07 rating, a fit for the main entrance of an office or apartment.
- i67 / i68: the premium tier with face recognition and a 7-inch touchscreen, for buildings or communities that want touchless access.
- i602V (card) / i602K (keypad): compact access devices for interior or secondary doors that don't need a full video door phone.
Why this matters for offices
- Visual verification before entry: reception or security staff can see a visitor before opening the door, especially useful outside business hours
- Remote unlock: the door can be opened from the Fanvil Link app, handy for offices with limited front desk staff
- Central management: through FCMS cloud, an admin can manage devices, monitor status, and keep access logs from one dashboard, including offices with many doors or branches
- Affordable extra access: secondary doors can use an i602V or i602K, so you don't need a full video door phone at every point
Why this matters for apartments
For apartments or residential complexes, a video door phone at the main gate or lobby gives residents full control to verify a visitor before granting access. With the Fanvil Link app, residents can even take the call and unlock the door straight from their phone without heading down to the lobby, or use an i564W (7-inch) or i566W (10-inch) indoor station inside the unit. The same architecture also pairs with intercom systems for an in-house elderly care wing.
Integration and data security
Because it runs on the same IP/SIP protocol as other Fanvil communication devices, a video door phone can join one ecosystem with indoor stations, guard stations, and even elevator and CCTV integration, with no need for a completely separate security system. It is managed through FCMS cloud and the Fanvil Link (resident) and Fanvil Partner (installer) apps, and the platform is ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701 certified for data security and privacy. For older buildings with limited wiring, there is also a 2-Wire version (i62-2) that reuses the existing cabling with no rewiring.
