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?

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.

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.

Something like this: https://www.voipon.co.uk/grandstream-ip-audio-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.

Afraid I can't remember the outcome of that one. And I'm retired now! Sorry.
