BVoIP utilizes an open standard VoIP technology. As such, any open standard SIP device can be registered to the Cloud PBX...it is not reserved for IP phones only.
Here at BVoIP we specialize in providing support to our partner channel on phone system design and installation. We regularly assist our partners with integrating non-telephony requirements into our Cloud PBX as part of a larger IT infrastructure deployment.
Let’s take a common example scenario: Your customer has a front door and lock at the main entrance into the lobby. An IP intercom door station can be installed at the front door (preferably a door strike is already in place. If not, this will need to be installed as well). The Door Phone unit can be registered as a SIP extension, just like any other SIP phone. When a customer arrives at the front door, they simply push the call button on the Door phone and initiate a call to the IP Phone on the receptionist’s desk. When the receptionist answers, she or he can have a conversation with the customer and then if you should choose to allow entry, simply dial the entry code your phone such as *5. This will trigger the door lock and allow the customer to enter. This functionality can be expanded to include a door station with a camera that will launch a video call on the receptionist’s phone. This will allow you to have a live video call with the person at the front door.
This is just one example of how to leverage Cloud PBX to be much more than just a PBX.
