Also, passers-by will be able to hear what code you use. Is this for apartment blocks or homes. What do you do about your apartment door, leave it unlocked? This is so full of holes. Believe me I work for a long established door entry system manufacturer and we have tried everything, but you cannot compromise security over convenience.
@christopher_odonnell Some valid points here. Thanks for bringing 'em up!
1) A passer-by might see the pin you enter on a pinpad entry system too. It’s just that changing or revoking a pin on a pinpad system is hard and complicated, while with Knocker, it's just a matter of a few taps on Knocker app (plus, the passer-by would need to know the unit number too, to be able to use the compromised voice pin).
2) Knocker is designed for building block entrance systems. For deliveries, the courier only needs the building door opened. Residents might use a similar keyless system for their apartment door.
3) I believe your experience, and I agree there are lots of holes. But I also believe that holes shouldn't prevent any maker from trying to make a product, no matter how imperfect the solution is.
Not sure about North America, but the rest of the world’s Entryphone systems are hardwired to fixed phones, they don’t call cells unless it’s from a gate. I’m pretty sure they aren’t that widespread in North America either. Plus you are reliant on the cell service being up, so could be locked out. I’m sure insurance companies will love this
@christopher_odonnell Hey Christopher, tbh, whether cellular buzzers are widespread or just a niche, there should still be products like Knocker for those systems. If the cell service goes down, those buzzers can't call the resident either, with or without Knocker. Knocker adds extra features to the existing cellular buzzers. Tho, at least in my experience, power outages are more common than cell network issues.
@zulkarnaim Thank you Zulkar, i'm looking forward to your name in my admin dashboard 🤓
