Intercom for Prisons & Detention Centers
Ultimate
Protection &
Security
Detention facilities demand highly reliable, continuously monitored communication paths that must be available around the clock. The Commend intercom solution provides added value in terms of security – for both officers and people in custody, in all areas under surveillance.
Advanced Security Communication
Voice and video communication between cells, corridors, doors, gates, security locks and barriers is enabled through self-monitoring and always available intercom stations.
Announcements in a clear, easily audible and perfectly intelligible way are supported via Public Address.
Smart Audio Solutions
Wardens can easily listen in on in-cell conversations and, if required, record them without being noticed. This helps to reveal and prevent planned acts of violence.
Efficient Alarm Management
Multi-functional Commend Control Desks make responding to emergency situations quick and easy. At the push of a button, automated playback of warning and reassurance messages helps to deescalate critical situations. Wardens and emergency services can be coordinated via radio communication, and special forces directed via telephone.
Safe Procedures
Intercom stations for door access control and security airlocks help to maintain a safe, coordinated movement of persons on the premises. When entering a detention cell custodial staff is protected by surface sensing function that triggers an alarm by simply touching the surface of the front panel or audio monitoring that triggers an alarm automatically if a certain sound volume level is exceeded.
