Access to your home by the tone of your phone™
TelGuard plugs into a normal BT type phone socket in the entrance to the property and when a visitor presses the required flat number, the call goes through to the existing BT type telephone in the flat.
The resident answers the call and can open the door by pressing the # key on their telephone.
The telephone will always be in the most convenient position for the resident and there will probably be more than one telephone in the flat so calls can be answered even in the bedroom.

This becomes even more flexible where the resident has a cordless phone! The running cost of the TelGuard is limited to the telephone line rental and a local rate phone call each time a flat is called.Our range of systems even now include GSM based systems so that a land line is not required, all the calls are made to the flats via the mobile phone network.
The Door Entry system on any multi user property has historically been a high cost item to install, maintain and quite often within 10 years – replace.
The cost of the equipment itself is minimal compared to the huge labour cost of running cables all over the building and entering every apartment to fit an intercom handset just inside the front door.

This is when further problems may arise due to a cable being damaged or a connection not being good, the fault then needs to be found.
If the labour cost of installation could be removed along with the cable that will need to be replaced at some point and also remove the static intercom handsets then surely the cost of door entry as a facility will be reduced.

Intercom Handsets...Who Needs Them?
Enter the world of Telguard.
It is recommended that a SIM from one of the main network service providers (Vodafone, O2, TMobile, Orange). Vodafone and O2 are our preferred network service providers purely for the fact of seemingly better network coverage and quality of customer services experienced by us. The costs of the calls are dependent on the tariff applied by the network service provider. Most calls will be well within 60 seconds so by the second call charges are preferable.
A single user or a small site would probably benefit from a PAYG SIM while a multi user site would be advised to use a contact SIM. The contract SIM will have a number of free minutes as part of the ‘package’ making calls from the Telguard free up to the air time provided.
The key to finding out how many minutes to get on the contract SIM is to use a PAYG initially and at the end of the first month the amount of credit used will give an indication of how many minutes were used and so a contact SIM can be purchased to cover the call pattern.
As with the call charges associated with a land line system the calls from a GSM system at a multi user site would be paid as part of the communal service charge.

Try Our GSM?
The disruption caused by the presence of a team of installation engineers for sometimes weeks added to the need for redecoration of the property is Once the system has finally been installed then it needs to be commissioned.
Try the benefits from our GSM range, there are fewer telephone related costs associated with our GSM range, although call charges can be more expensive than land line calls. There is no line installation cost or any line rental charges. The Telguard GSM range requires either a Pay-As-You-Go or contract SIM card.
