The DuoCom is a door-entry system with advanced features for people with special needs. The system consists of a front door unit and one or more room units. When a person rings the door bell the occupant answers by pressing the “Answer” button. After speaking with the caller the occupant can open the door by pressing the “Door Open” button. The electric lock is released and the caller can push open the door. If an electric door opener is fitted the door will open and close automatically. For people who have difficulty speaking three recorded phrases can be used, one for “hello who is it…”, a second for “please come in..” and a third for “call back later…”. For people who have difficulty pressing buttons, the DuoCom can be operated by any GEWA transmitter.
