Integrating door entry with a proprietary VOIP system
Discussion
One of my clients is looking to implement the Gamma Horizon phone system, which happily we sell, but also wants a video door entry system integrated into the Horizon phones, which Gamma don't offer.
My question then is, are there door entry systems out there (presumably IP-based?) which can integrate with a VOIP system. Ideally it would be a video door entry system with a video screen on the phone handsets, but again it would need to cohabit with Gamma, otherwise they are duplicating handsets etc.
Hoping there is a clever PHer who deals in this sort of thing?

Any SIP compliant door entry phone should be usable with Horizon. These are essentially just packaged SIP handsets that dial a number when the call button is pressed and use DTMF tones to release the door.

The video element is more difficult - I don’t know much about how Horizon handles video.
This is the sort of thing your “value added” reseller should be sorting out for you. If they can’t sort a simple requirement like this out, it might be worth finding another one - every 2 bit Telecoms reseller flogs Horizon these days, so you need to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Sorry for the necro post, but I was wondering if you ever found a solution to this?
We're currently replacing our old Samsung OffeiceServ 7100 with a Gamma Horizon system and have found that they still don't support door entry systems.
Afraid I can't remember the outcome of that one. And I'm retired now! Sorry.We're currently replacing our old Samsung OffeiceServ 7100 with a Gamma Horizon system and have found that they still don't support door entry systems.
