Arecont & Talkaphone Add Emergency Protections (American Security Today)
Talkaphone, a leading manufacturer of emergency call box products, is now part of the Arecont Vision Technology Partner Program. Talkaphone products are integrated with Arecont Vision cameras in a wide variety of verticals and applications including parks and open spaces, schools, corporate campuses, parking lots and structures, and city streets.
“Talkaphone is very proud that our products are Made in the USA, just like the Arecont Vision cameras,” said Bob Shanes, Vice President of Sales for Talkaphone. “Together, this ensures that our installations are of the best possible quality that will stand up to the most challenging applications, ensuring safety regardless of location.”
A Talkaphone call box with an Arecont Vision SurroundVideo multi-sensor megapixel panoramic 180 or 360-degree camera or a SurroundVideo Omni with an omnidirectional camera is increasing security and situational awareness. New call boxes can be delivered by the integrator with Arecont Vision cameras as part of the solution. And many call boxes that are already installed can be affordably upgraded by the addition of an Arecont Vision SurroundVideo or SurroundVideo Omni multi-sensor camera.

This allows emergency units to respond quickly while providing the operator with continuous and complete situational awareness.
