Caution

Remember to save the phone book changes.
The setting (photos, root folder, content) display changes are not applied until you go to the search or dialing menu.

Blind Assistance Mode

The Blind Assistance mode makes the intercom control accessible to users with visual impairments. Thanks to this function, the users who have problems with visual orientation on the display can locate the intercom and touch the display with the palm of their hand to set up a call to a preset contact.

The Blind Assistance Mode is activated whenever the intercom camera detects a person approaching the intercom head-on. The intercom camera must detect the person approaching the device for a defined period of time, which can be set in the Blind Assistance Mode in the web configuration interface. Once the user is detected successfully, the Blind Assistance Mode is activated and the intercom starts navigate the user to the display by sound. The user is audibly instructed to touch the display with the palm of their hand, which automatically sets up a call to a preset contact.
