Step-by-step guide to installing Slinex IP Direct intercoms without servers for fast, reliable access control.

Traditional Intercom Setup (SIP + Server)

Most traditional intercom systems rely on SIP protocols and central servers (PBX) to route calls and manage communication. For homeowners and installers, this usually means:

+ Complex configuration with server settings.

+ Need for constant server maintenance and monitoring.

+ Higher costs due to additional hardware and IT support.

+ Limited scalability for multi-unit buildings.

The Downsides of Using Servers

Using servers in intercom systems introduces several challenges:

+ Single point of failure – if the server goes down, all intercoms stop working.

+ Longer installation and setup times.

+ Dependence on internet or internal network stability.

+ Additional security risks and software updates.

Direct IP Intercom: A Simpler Solution

Direct IP intercoms (like Slinex IP Direct) remove the need for servers entirely. Each device connects directly over your local network, creating a peer-to-peer communication system. Key benefits include:

+ Plug-and-play setup.

+ Instant HD video and two-way audio communication.

+ Full mobile app integration for remote access.

+ Easy scalability – add more units without server limitations.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Follow these simple steps to set up a direct IP intercom:

+ Connect the outdoor panel to your local network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

+ Connect the indoor monitor to the same network.

+ Power on both devices using the included adapters.

+ Open the mobile app and scan the QR code on each device.

+ Assign device names and units for easy identification.

+ Test video and audio communication between the panel, monitor, and smartphone.

+ Integrate additional cameras or access control devices if needed.

Best Practices for Integrators and Installers

+ Ensure stable local network connectivity with minimal interference.

+ Assign static IP addresses for devices in larger buildings.

+ Test all endpoints before handing over the system to the client.

+ Keep firmware updated for security and feature enhancements.

+ Document device locations and configurations for maintenance.
