Porto – IP Video Door Intercom for Modern Buildings

Porto is the IP video door intercom with audio and video in HD quality – ideal for modern buildings.

As an outdoor station, Porto integrates seamlessly with the Amika touchscreen wall panel for the indoor station or with the "SmartHome Remote App" on smartphones.

IP Video Door Intercom Porto Integrated into Building Automation

The IP video intercom Porto breaks away from outdated two-wire standard solutions for door intercoms and instead relies on modern IP network technology.

The result: IP intercom with state-of-the-art audio and video communication technology in HD quality as well as secure access control for residential and commercial buildings integrated into building automation.

Features of Porto

The IP video door intercom Porto offers the following features in particular:

Audio & Video Communication

  • Two-way communication in HD quality: High-quality voice transmission through integrated DSP sound processor with compressor.
  • Day and night HD video: Two HD cameras (1080p) with 2.0 MP each, one color CMOS camera for daytime operation and one infrared CMOS camera for nighttime operation.
  • Wide viewing angle: 115° horizontal and 90° vertical for a broad overview in front of the door.
  • LED supplementary lighting: Integrated white LEDs to illuminate the entrance area, particularly helpful in poor lighting conditions.

Operation & Connectivity

  • Interactive touchscreen at door station: An 8" TFT IPS HD display (1,280 × 800 px) with intuitive menu navigation, call selection, and configuration options.
  • Connection to touchpanel in apartment: One Porto outdoor station connects up to 200 Amika touchpanels as indoor stations, with each Amika panel integrating up to 6 smartphone apps.
  • Direct connection to smartphone for remote access: One Porto outdoor station connects up to 180 smartphone apps ("SmartHome Remote App") as indoor stations for conversations and door opening from anywhere.

Secure Access Control

  • Door control: Doors and gates are controlled via the separate Porto relay box on DIN rail, installed in the technical room and connected to the door station via LAN. The relay box has two independently controllable relays.
  • Keyless access: The door can be opened with a traditional key or keylessly using an RFID badge. The hardware is also already prepared for future real-time facial recognition and NFC access. However, these two features are still under development on the software side.

Configuration & Remote Maintenance

  • Standalone setup: Complete configuration and commissioning directly on the 8" touchscreen of the door station, without the need for a PC or laptop.
  • Setup via Amika or "Cockpit": Alternatively, Porto can be commissioned remotely via the Amika panel in the apartment or the browser-based web management platform "Cockpit."
  • Remote maintenance via "Cockpit": Remote maintenance of Porto is also possible in "Cockpit," including system diagnostics, configuration changes, and software updates.

Porto Advantages at a Glance

Porto Advantages for Developers, General Contractors & Investors

  • Value enhancement: Built on modern IP infrastructure instead of outdated two-wire technology, increasing the value and attractiveness of the property.
  • Investment security: Porto hardware is already prepared for real-time facial recognition and NFC access. These two cutting-edge features can therefore be retrofitted via software without hardware replacement.
  • High scalability: A single system covers a wide range of project sizes (from single-family homes to multi-family buildings to large-scale developments with up to 200 indoor stations per Porto door intercom).

Porto Advantages for Installers, Architects & Planners

  • Fast commissioning: Significant time savings on site: Configuration can be performed directly on the Porto touchscreen of the door station or conveniently via the Amika panel in the apartment. Alternatively, Porto can still be commissioned in the traditional way via a PC—even remotely—through the web "Cockpit."
  • Reduced cabling effort: Power supply and data run efficiently over a single network cable (Power over Ethernet, PoE).
  • Remote maintenance: Diagnostics, configuration changes, and software updates can be performed remotely via the web "Cockpit," without the need for an on-site technician.

Porto Advantages for Residents & Property Management

  • Top voice and image quality: High-quality voice and video transmission in HD quality (also at night thanks to infrared).
  • Flexibility: Convenient door opening via Amika touchscreen wall panel in the apartment or via smartphone from anywhere. Door opening also possible with RFID badge at the door or with a traditional key.
  • Efficient remote management: Name changes during tenant turnover, RFID badge assignments, and deactivations in case of loss can be handled remotely via the web "Cockpit," saving time and eliminating the need for on-site appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the IP Video Door Intercom Porto

What does IP stand for?

IP stands for “Internet Protocol.” IP is a widely used network protocol—for example, the foundation of the Internet—that enables data exchange between different computers or processes.

Two-wire technology is outdated because it only enables mediocre voice and image quality. An IP door intercom, on the other hand, offers audio and video transmission in HD quality.

No. Configuration and commissioning of the Porto intercom can be performed directly on the Porto touchscreen at the door station. Alternatively, Porto can also be commissioned via the Amika panel in the apartment or remotely via the web “Cockpit” on a laptop or desktop computer.

At the Porto door station, access to the building can be gained using a traditional key or an RFID badge. The installed hardware is also already prepared for the future activation of real-time facial recognition and NFC access.

One Porto outdoor station can be connected to up to 200 Amika touchpanels (each with up to 6 linked smartphone apps) installed in apartments as indoor stations, or directly to up to 180 smartphone apps (“SmartHome Remote App”) as indoor stations for conversations and door opening from anywhere.

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor. It is a specialized microprocessor that processes audio signals in real time. In combination with the integrated compressor, it ensures clear, noise-free voice transmission and consistent volume in HD quality.
RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification.
It is a technology for contactless data transmission. A reader uses radio waves to automatically read data from a small RFID chip or tag (e.g., on chip cards or labels) without direct line of sight.
