Doorbells and door entry systems
This section includes doorbells and door entry systems with accessible features.
Doorbells which flash, vibrate and/or sound loudly may help a person with hearing loss to be alerted when the doorbell is pressed by enabling a unit within the home to flash, a portable pad to vibrate, or a loud ring to be sounded. Door knock beacons are attached to a door and flash a strobe light if they detect a knock on the door.
One-way intercom systems enable a user to speak to, and hear a caller at their door. They can also release a door latch so a caller can be let in without the user having to go to their door. Some have a video function to enable the user to see the person at the door as well as speak to them. Two-way intercom systems enable communication between two or more rooms, or between one or more rooms and a box outside the front door. They can be used to talk to a caller at the door before the user decides whether to let them in.
Telecare door entry systems enable a person to open their front door with a remote control system and/or enable a carer or the emergency services to open the front door with either a remote control or by contacting the person's help centre.
