VIA’s Smart Security Solutions Transform Building Security with MediaTek’s Genio 350 SoC

High-rise apartment complexes and commercial buildings are abuzz with constant visitor movements creating security challenges. Outdated intercom systems and manual security protocols leave security personnel grappling with monitoring multiple entry points in real-time. Residents, too, lack the tools for effective visitor verification, especially when they are away.

VIA Technologies addressed these challenges by developing a smart Video Intercom and Access Control System, powered by MediaTek’s Genio 350 SoC, offering a secure, efficient, modern solution.

Challenge

• Real-time video capabilities for visitor verification
  
• Centralized monitoring to manage multiple visitor entry points
• Two-way communication between residents and visitors
• Remote access control via smartphone apps for convenience and enhanced security

Results

• Enhanced security with residents being in full control of visitor verification and access using real-time video stream.
• Streamlined efficiency for security staff with centralized monitoring of multiple entry points, direct communication channels, and quick response times.
• Increased convenience and peace of mind for occupants as they are in better control of their environment.
• Integrated, connected and centralized platform for security staff to monitor multiple entry points comprehensively.
