1.1 Introduction
The VL-MVN511 main monitor station (hereafter referred to as "main monitor") can be used as part of a Video Intercom System for Apartment Complexes. If your main monitor is part of such a system, the available features, settings, and operations differ slightly from the information explained in the main monitor’s Operating Instructions. Please refer to the information in this document for information about these differences.
1.2 Lobby visitors
Visitors can use the lobby station to call your room. Depending on the system’s settings, visitors can either call your main monitor directly, or call a receptionist. If a receptionist handles the call, the receptionist can call and speak with you before allowing the visitor to enter the building.
Lobby station camera images
When a visitor uses a lobby station to call you, you can view the image from the lobby station’s built-in camera.
Note:
RImages from the lobby station camera can be viewed live by facility staff, and can be recorded for later viewing by the building manager.
Switching to another camera
An external surveillance camera may be connected to the lobby station. In this case, you can view images from the external camera while talking to the visitor or monitoring the lobby station camera.
To switch between lobby station camera and external camera images, press

In this case, you can use the main monitor to make and receive calls to and from extension telephones installed in the building.
