OUTDOOR PANELS

EXPERT VIDEO PANEL – APARTMENT BUILDINGS, SURFACE MOUNTING, WHITE

VPM.0BS03.ELWE5
GLASS & TOUCH design

Innovation is a permanent mission of ELECTRA, and the use of GLASS & TOUCH technology for the outdoor panels was an original and brave solution, from the very beginning.
By integrating the chemically toughened glass and the Touch keyboard in the design of the panel, a premium appearance was created and all the challenges faced by a product installed outdoors were efficiently resolved: adaptability to the architecture of any building, full protection against water and dust, scratch and shock resistance, friendly use and easy maintenance.

Smart assembly | Flush installation | Anti-theft protection

The ELECTRA assembly solution of the expert video panel is very efficient, resulting in a product with a slim appearance, but at the same time easy to install.
Through the perfectly layered conjunction of the constructive elements, respectively the electrostatically painted aluminum case and the 4 mm chemically toughened glass, doubled on the inside by the printed circuit board of the same dimension, results a robust product, which is very easy to install. Through the flush installation, the panel is only 3 mm thick at the outside, becoming a remarkable and, at the same time,
nonintrusive presence.
The anti-theft sensor is located near the fixing screw, and the alarm sets off immediately when the screw is unfastened.

Orientable video camera | Infrared LEDs | Operation at -30°C

The video camera represents an essential component, influencing the utility of the entire system based on its well-functioning and positioning. For this reason, the video camera module integrated in the expert outdoor panel was carefully designed to serve a multitude of day to day use
situations. Therefore:

  • The quality of the displayed images is very good, with accurate color rendering.
  • Images are transmitted during the entire duration of the call, talk and monitoring. The video image remains active 10 more seconds, for visual confirmation of the action’s completion.
  • The night vision is excellent, even when there is no street lighting. The infrared LEDs, activated by a light sensor, ensure visibility at a
    distance of 20 m.
  • The visualization angle can be optimized based on the position of the panel in relation to the entrance, the camera being 25º orientable to the
    left or right.
  • In case of condensation or very low temperatures, of up to -30ºC, the camera functions within parameters, being fitted with a local heating system.
  • The blinking red LED signals the presence of video monitoring, for extra safety.
255 apartments | Electronic list of residents

An installation for apartment buildings with a expert video outdoor panel can have up to 255 apartments, and the addresses of the apartments can be programmed with maximum 4 digits, from 1 to 9999.
The 4-line x 16 characters display is the perfect solution for the lists of residents in the case of big buildings and ensure a user-friendly interface, permanently interacting with them.

  • In stand-by mode, a welcome message and use instructions are displayed for the visitors. Optionally, it can display alternately display a second screen, with the address of the building or other messages of interest for the residents.
  • During scrolling through the list of residents, the call, talk and access, the display continues to show instructions indicating the use steps.
  • The display can show information in multiple languages: Romanian, English, Spanish, German, Polish, Hebrew etc.
Backlighted Touch keyboard

The capacitive Touch keyboard developed by ELECTRA is genuinely expert, both aesthetically, as well as functionally. The implemented technical solution ensures the very efficient functioning of the keyboard and the even backlighting during night time:

  • The keyboard is interactive during the entire use time, through intuitive light signals.
  • No false calls during rain or high levels of humidity.
  • The keys do not get blocked, irrespective of the use frequency.
  • The light sensor activates the backlighting of the keyboard only during night.
Resident name search

The access and search in the list of residents is done very simply, by successively touching the assigned key.

Call, talk and access granting

The call is initiated by typing the apartment number and pressing the   key. The call is signaled acoustically, through a ding-dong, visually, on the display and the   key is red. The duration of a call is of maximum 1 min.
When the resident answers, the talk is initiated, with a maximum duration of 2 min. The talk mode is signaled visually, on the display, and the   key is green. Access granting is signaled acoustically, through a beep confirmation sequence, visually, on the display and through the blinking   symbol.

 RFID card access

The in-built RFID reader allows an easy and comfortable access, by tag or proximity card. Access granting is signaled acoustically, through a sequence of confirmation beeps, visually, on the display, and through the blinking  symbol.
The RFID solution is customized, being developed to offer as much safety as possible to the user, reason for which the reader only functions with the secured ELECTRA tags.

Programming/ settings and PC connection

The expert video outdoor panel for apartment buildings I programmed with:

  • The PIN code.
  • The address of the panel, programmed only when there are multiple panels in the installation.
  • The codes of the RFID access tags.
  • The display language version.
  • The number of digits for the address of the apartment.


There are available settings for:

  • Red LED signaling the presence of monitoring: active or inactive.
  • Anti-theft sensor: active or inactive.


The expert video outdoor panel for apartment buildings is fitted with a micro-USB jack, for PC connection. The databases containing the access tag codes, the names of the residents and the displayed messages is managed through the INTERPROG software, developed for the Touch Line range.

Additional products

The ELECTRA video door phone systems allow the direct connection of multiple additional devices:

  • An external video camera can be connected directly to the central unit, and the monitoring from inside the building can be done successively, on the camera from the panel, as well as on the additional one. 4 additional external video cameras can be connected through a video selection box.
  • For properties with multiple entrances, maximum 3 additional Touch Lineexpert video panels can be connected, in any desired combination, by using a video selection box.
Extended compatibility

The expert video outdoor panel is compatible with all the Touch Lineexpert outdoor panels, video and audio terminals and auxiliary equipment, with the possibility of being used in simple configurations for houses, as well as in complex applications for residential centers.
