Al 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. 

Need for IP intercom system

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 completed and comprehensive IP intercom solutions for the buildings R-05, R-15, and R34 with a total of 205 apartments. 

Flexible cloud-based system

A customised solution utilising feature-rich door stations with HD cameras and touchscreen indoor monitors

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.  

4.3'' video door phones

At this large community, high-resolution 4.3'' 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 the residents to visually identify visitors requesting entry from the video door phone.

The high-quality video from the door phones gave them confidence in assessing potential risks or suspicious behavior without having to personally greet every single visitor.

Maximum visibility and oversight

Additionally, the wide-angle camera on the door phones provided a comprehensive view of the entry areas, allowing the residents to keep a close eye on the surroundings for maximum visibility and oversight. 

Positioning the 4.3'' door phones at carefully selected entry points allowed the complex to leverage its investment in this video intercom security solution for optimal monitoring and access control across the property.  

7'' Linux indoor monitors

7'' Linux indoor monitors deliver residents an advanced, convenient, and smart intercom solution for their homes

A major factor in Al Erkyah City's decision was DNAKE's flexible offering for indoor intercom terminals. DNAKE's slim-profile 7’’ indoor monitors were installed in a total of 205 apartments.

Residents benefit from convenient video intercom capabilities directly from their suite, including a clear high-quality display for video verification of visitors, intuitive touch controls through the flexible Linux OS, and remote access and communication via smartphone apps. In summary, the large 7'' Linux indoor monitors deliver residents an advanced, convenient, and smart intercom solution for their homes. 

Future-ready intercom communication platform

Residents will find the communication system remains at the cutting edge due to DNAKE's over-the-air update capability. New capabilities can be seamlessly rolled out to indoor monitors and door stations without costly site visits.

With the DNAKE intercom, Al Erkyah City can provide a smart, connected, and future-ready intercom communication platform matching the innovation and growth of this new community.
