At ISE in Barcelona, DoorBird unveiled what it describes as the world’s first IP video intercom system with integrated 5G mobile connectivity, marking a new milestone for the market.
With the new D31TDV 5G and D31TDH 5G models, DoorBird is said to enable a reliable internet connection without the need for Ethernet cabling, redefining flexibility and system resilience in door communication through 5G technology.
This innovation reportedly opens up new possibilities, particularly for existing buildings.
The need for complex retrofitting of network cabling is said to be completely eliminated, significantly simplifying installation while reducing costs as well as planning and installation effort.
As neither apartment nor building cabling is required, the 5G-enabled D31x models are reportedly ideally suited for rapid retrofits and modernisation projects.
According to DoorBird, the IP video intercom systems of the D31x series have been specifically developed for multi-occupancy residential buildings, commercial properties and large building complexes with up to 3,000 units.
The company has articulated that during operation, property owners and managing agents benefit from clear advantages.
The management of keys, access rights and names is fully digital and can reportedly be carried out remotely via a web browser or mobile app for smartphones and tablets.
Lost transponders can be blocked online, while names and access permissions can be updated at any time.
Video intercom functionality and access logs are said to further enhance security and transparency across all entry points.
Residents also reportedly benefit from increased convenience and improved security.
DoorBird has articulated that doors can be opened easily via smartphone, high-quality audio and video ensure clear communication and accessible features support everyday use for all user groups.
Sascha Keller, CEO of DoorBird commented: “With the 5G models of the D31x series, we are introducing a true world first to the market.
“Our partners and customers gain maximum flexibility in installation and management, as well as a cost-effective way to retrofit and digitise existing buildings.
“At the same time, the D31x series offers the highest level of system reliability.
“Whether used as a primary connection or as an intelligent backup, the factory-integrated combination of Power over Ethernet (PoE) and 5G makes door communication even more reliable and independent.”
The company has articulate that the IP video intercom door stations D31TDH 5G and D31TDV 5G are scheduled for general availability in the course of 2026 and are already available today for selected pilot projects.
