Security features
The IP Intercom permits real‑time audio monitoring by the help desk of any room
where an IPI is installed. Using the IP Intercom HelpDesk software, intercom calls
and pages can be logged and date/time‑stamped on the help desk computer. Event
logs can be accessed and archived for record keeping and tracking purposes.
N In some states it is illegal to listen in on rooms. To satisfy legal and privacy
requirements, the intercom can play a recurring tone during room monitoring. This
tone can be turned on or off in the HelpDesk Preferences.
The status monitoring capablities of the MLC 226 IP and the audio monitoring
capabilities of the intercom can be combined to monitor the status of equipment
for each room. GlobalViewer software can be configured to automatically notify a
help desk operator or security personnel via e‑mail. Help desk operators or other
authorized personnel can then use the IP Intercom’s audio monitoring capability
to listen to the activity in this room, helping them determine if security personnel
should be dispatched to investigate.
