IP intercoms for Al Erkyah City in Qatar

The project developers Al Erkyah City in Doha, Qatar, required an IP intercom system on par with the development’s elite standards.

A l Erkyah City is a new upscale mixed-use development in the Lusail district of Doha, Qatar. The luxury community features ultra-modern high-rise buildings, premium retail spaces, and a 5-star hotel. Al Erkyah City represents the pinnacle of modern, high-end living in Qatar. The project developers required an IP intercom system on par with the development’s elite standards to facilitate secure access control and streamline property management across the vast property. After careful evaluation, Al Erkyah City selected DNAKE to deploy comprehensive IP intercom solutions for buildings R05, R15, and R34, totalling 205 apartments. By choosing DNAKE, Al Erkyah City is outfitting its properties with a flexible cloud-based system that can easily scale across its growing community. DNAKE engineers conducted in-depth evaluations of Al Erkyah’s unique requirements before proposing a customised solution utilising a combination of feature-rich door stations with HD cameras and 7-inch touchscreen indoor monitors. Residents of Al Erkyah City will enjoy advanced features such as indoor monitoring via the DNAKE smart life APP, remote unlocking, and integration with home alarm systems. Visual identification At this large community, high-resolution 4.3-inch video door phones were installed at key access points leading into the buildings. The crisp video provided by these devices enabled the security personnel or residents to identify visitors requesting entry from the video door phone visually. The high-quality video from the door phones gave them confidence in assessing potential risks or suspicious behaviour without personally greeting every visitor. Additionally, the wide-angle camera on the door phones provided a comprehensive view of the entry areas, allowing the residents
