The Fermax Wi-BOX is a device designed to integrate with Fermax VDS (Video Door System) monitors, enabling call diversion to mobile devices via a Wi-Fi network. This allows users to receive calls from their door entry system on their smartphone or tablet, providing remote access and control.
The primary function of the Wi-BOX is to act as a bridge between a Fermax VDS monitor and a Wi-Fi network, facilitating call diversion. When a visitor presses the call button at the door panel, the call is routed to the connected VDS monitor and simultaneously diverted to the user's mobile device through the Wi-BOX and the associated FERMAX Wi-BOX App. This allows users to see and speak to visitors, and even open the door remotely, from anywhere with an internet connection.
The device supports a minimum requirement of connecting to the +, L, and - terminals of the VDS system. For video functionality, it also connects to the V and M terminals. Optional connections include Ct and F1 for additional features.
