Why choose an accessible home?

An accessible home is designed and built to allow safe and independent access and use by all individuals, including those with disabilities or cognitive or memory impairments.

Assisted technology

The installation of assistive technologies, such as voice or device-controlled building automation systems, can make the home more accessible for people with disabilities.

Accessible electrical switches and outlets

Electrical switches and outlets must be positioned at a height that is accessible for wheelchair users or persons with other mobility issues.

Clear signage on the devices

The use of clear and understandable signage can be helpful for people with cognitive or memory problems.

Scenarios

Use of the video door phone even by the visually impaired

Urmet’s VOG range is equipped with soft-touch buttons. The video door phone functions can be controlled directly by pressing the control buttons, but also by gestures that activate the dedicated sensor. The answering and door opener functions can be used by visually impaired people, as the monitor has raised marks on the sides that identify the position of the buttons.

Scenarios

Video door phone call answering via the CallMe app, with remote door opening for persons with mobility problems

Entry panels with speech synthesis modules and LED indicators that allow the user to determine the system’s status based on visual and acoustic signals. Hearing and visually impaired users can interact with the entry panel to perform basic functions. The system’s status is indicated by the following signals: call forwarded, conversation in progress, and door open.

App CallMe

Answer the video intercom even when you are not at home

With Urmet’s CallMe app, you can answer your video door phone even when you are not at home. CallMe allows the door phone to be answered directly from your office or from a shop, just as if you were at home, or the gate and the entrance door to be opened while relaxing on your sofa or in the garden. All this with a simple click from your smartphone or tablet. CallMe is a free app for Android and iOS, but it is also a device that’s compatible with older Urmet door phones or video door phones, with no need to purchase a new monitor.
