The stations inside the prison cell are not only equipped for the benefits of the prison but also to offer additional protection to the guards. The stations offers two security features for the guards; scream alarms and integrated light signaling.

Guard Safety

When a guard or prisoner scream, the station will automatically be activated and connect to the control room. If a CCTV camera is connected, it will also be switched on and stream video to the guard room. The integrated light signaling system runs as a back up to the scream alarm. The stations are connected to special lights installed outside the prison cell. When a guard inspects a cell, he switches on the scream alarm. If the guard either screams or touches any of the buttons on the stations, the light will switch from green to red to indicate there is a problem.

Guard Mobility

Mobility is another very important feature for the guards. They are constantly patrolling the premises and need to be able to reach the right people just as easily as if they were using a fixed intercom station. STENTOFON offers integration possibilities between conventional radio equipment and the communication system. However, STENTOFON recommends a special range of portable IP DECT equipment that offers the basic functions and possibilities of an intercom system. The IP DECT stations connect to the STENTOFON system over a SIP interface and are able to move between repeaters installed across the premises. This means that the IP DECT stations can be carried around anywhere without ever losing their communication link to the system.
