Removing the need to have handsets in individual apartments. Saving you time, money and hassle whilst also being more environmentally friendly and sustainable. The IPGUARD is also a cloud-based system. Therefore, allowing for real-time remote access and updates, so the system remains fully future-proofed, delivering peace of mind to the end user.

GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communications. This technology has been around for a while, but one of its latest applications is that of the door entry and access control industry. The IPGUARD incorporates this technology, in the form of a sim card and uses it to communicate with residents’ smart devices or landlines and the cloud. This allows for the feature of real-time remote access.
