Tennyson Reach residential precinct features three apartment buildings located on a picturesque stretch of the Brisbane River. These luxury apartments featuring generous balconies enjoy extensive views over the riverfront parkland, extending all the way to Mt Coot-tha. For this project Jacques IP video intercom solution replaced an existing and failing analogue intercom system. The site was recabled with Cat 5 to facilitate the Jacques IP communication system.
Jacques supplied IP video monitor stations for each of the 77 apartments spread across the three buildings. Each building features a Jacques IP video entrance station with keypad allowing for visitors to dial an apartment number within that building to communicate and gain access. Residents can view and converse with visitors on their video monitor station (VMS) during which they can activate the onscreen door release to grant their visitor access to the building. Upon access, the visitor can then proceed to the lift lobby where the system has already predefined the floor level permission associated with the entrance-approving video monitor station. At this site, each of the buildings operates independently of each other. Each building contains their own system controller facilitating the control and permissions between the video monitor stations within the apartments, the door entrance station and the lift access and control permissions.
