Securing physical access, an issue that has become strategic
In a context of increasing physical and digital threats, the security of access to corporate buildings is no longer just a matter of control, but a strategic issue. Unauthorized access, unregistered visitors, out-of-hours interventions: physical vulnerabilities are now entry points for much broader risks, including cybersecurity.
Connected video intercoms provide a modern, intelligent and professional response. They allow you to filter, monitor and record entries into your premises with great precision, while integrating into a centralized digital infrastructure logic. This system is no longer a gadget: it is a tool for safe governance.
Manage visitor and provider access reliably
The management of temporary access (providers, stakeholders, visitors) represents a point of fragility in many companies. The connected video intercoms allow to visually verify the identity of the person at the entrance, to dialogue remotely, and to authorize access without physical contact, via badge, application or network control. Entry history is maintained, searchable and exportable, which facilitates security audits and event traceability.
This ability to manage flows in real time, without overloading teams, significantly improves access control without complicating the user experience.
Integrate access control into your information system
One of the main advantages of connected videophones is their interoperability. They integrate with your information systems, your existing access control solutions (doors, gates, RFID badges), your business software or even your video monitoring systems. This integration allows centralized, automated and scalable management. You can manage access rights according to specific rules (times, zones, profiles), synchronize with an LDAP or Active Directory directory, or connect the device to an incident management system. This level of integration makes the videophone a real link in the company’s IT-physical chain.
Remotely control and supervise, at all sites
Connected video telephony solutions offer the possibility of controlling access remotely, from a control point, a smartphone or a secure web dashboard. This saves time and improves responsiveness for multi-site companies or those with shared premises. You can view the images in real time, trigger a door opening or an alarm, and even interact with the visitor without being on site.
This remote control is particularly useful in emergency scenarios, outside working hours or for telework of security managers.
Strengthen the image of professionalism and modernity
Beyond the security aspect, a connected video intercom helps to strengthen your company’s image. Welcoming a visitor with modern, fluid and professional equipment is to send a positive signal in terms of rigor, technology and responsibility. The current models offered by UNIVIRTUAL are discreet, design, suitable for any type of environment (tertiary, industrial, medical...), and configurable to your brand image.
It is also an excellent starting point for deploying other smart building or IoT devices, in a logic of progressive enrichment of your intelligent physical infrastructure.
Towards intelligent, connected and scalable security
Connected videophones are no longer reserved for sensitive environments: they become a standard for all companies concerned about their safety, operational efficiency and image. They provide a modern, adaptable, scalable and interconnected response to access control issues.
