CCTV integration

2Voice cleverly turns the door entry system into a video surveillance system. The images from CCTV cameras can even be viewed on apartment stations.

Call forwarding to mobile app

The CallMe app conveniently allows residents to transfer video door phone calls to their smartphone/tablet, answering the door even if they are away from home. The app is free to download and available on Android and iOS.

IP integration

IP integration allows the apartments to be wired with 2Voice whilst the panels are networked; providing simple scalability, multiple concierge units and the monitors from our 2Voice range.

Access control integration

By integrating the access control, there is no need for additional wiring and all information can be gathered by the concierge control centre.

2Wire installation

Two non‐polarised wires throughout for a quick and simple installation.

Lift destination control

With lift management, the lift can be called and sent to the desired floor ‐ meeting Secured by Design requirements by restricting the areas which visitors can reach.

Concierge switchboard

The concierge switchboard allows the concierge to answer calls and transfer them to the relevant apartment, in addition to making and accepting calls from each monitor. Call forwarding is also available, allowing concierge features to work from a mobile phone.

Video entry

Video capability over two wires. The ability to see who is at the door through the apartment station provides residents with greater peace of mind.

Scalable system platform

2Voice offers a truly scalable system, suitable for a single‐family home through to large residential complexes.

What's New at Urmet

26th July 2021

Don't Forget to Check Out Our Updated Product 360 Images!

As we’re sure you know, our main Door Entry & Access Control products each have a dedicated 360 product image.

But, what does this mean?

A 360 image allows you to rotate the image of the product by 360° by simply moving your mouse across the image, providing you with unparalleled look at all angles of the product.

Ok, but why are you telling me this now?

Because, this feature has been updated! And it can now be found to the top right hand side of the main product image, shown below…

So if you haven’t already, go and take a look at our products from every angle!

Simply click on the title of this post to visit the Elekta Steel product page, where you can test out this feature for yourself!

Urmet supplies Sinthesi Steel for a System Upgrade!

We’re back with another installation from Urmet Pro Installer Anchor Sound & Security!

This time, they have used our Sinthesi Steel modular panel to replace an old (& ailing) entry panel as a part of their replacement system installation.

And… just look at the difference! It’s completely transformed the outside of the building.

One of the (many) benefits of the Sinthesi Steel panel is that it is modular, meaning it can be customised to fit your projects’ needs.

For example, in the Anchor replacement system shown above, the old panel had 20 different call buttons. The Sinthesi Steel panel allows you to choose between 20 buttons, or you can simply have the ‘digital module’ which Anchor Sound & Security chose.

This helps to keep the panel design tidy and concise.

Some other useful features of the Sinthesi Steel entry panel are:

White LED Illuminated Buttons and Nameplates
Nameplate Engraving Available
Call Reassurance Tone when User Presses Button

We love seeing our products installed on site; and we’re loving this install series with Anchor Sound & Security.

Yet another great installation from an experienced Urmet Pro Installer, and great choice of panel design too!

Urmet Project at Cutty Sark House - 5 Years On!

Urmet supplied Pro Installer Prologic Systems for their project titled ‘Cutty Sark House’ in 2016 – we’ve been fortunate enough to see how the install is doing 5 years on…

We supplied our Polished Elekta Steel Video Entry Panels to this development, along with our Miro Video Handsets.

Urmet achieve Secured by Design UL293 Certification!

We are pleased to announce that both Urmet Door Entry & Access Control products have been awarded Secured by Design UL293 certification!

UL293 is the highest level of Secured by Design accreditation for Door Entry & Access Control systems.

Any product that is UL293 certified is Secured by Design certified as an individual, standalone product; as opposed to only being certified as a critical component of a Secured by design certified doorset.

Of the certification, Manji Gami, Managing Director of Urmet UK said:

‘If your tender documentation has a requirement for a ‘Secured by Design approved Door Entry & Access Control system’, rest assured that Urmet will truly meet the specification.

Without any doubt we can say that Secured by Design, UL293 and the wealth of experience that DOCO’s bring to any development in improving the safety and security of a building should not be underestimated.

We at Urmet look forward to more developers embracing Secured by Design standards.’

So, if your project has a requirement for Secured by Design approval, then rest assured with UL293 certification for both our Door Entry & Access Control ranges, Urmet will truly meet the specification.

Did you know Urmet have 5(!) different token colours?

You probably know by now, that each Urmet token arrives with a unique engraved ID number for identification (if you didn’t, you do now), however did you know we also offer 5 different token colours?

Each token arrives with Mifare Plus AES 128 bit encryption built-in as well, no matter which colours you choose!

Not only do they look the part, but they also allow for easier management of your Access Control system – but how?

Let’s set the scene.

There a multiple residents in one apartment; one resident loses their token, but each resident has a black token.

You’re called to issue a new token, but without finding out the token’s unique number (if it has one), how do you know which token to delete and replace in the Access Control management software?

How much easier would it be if you were called to issue a new token, with the words…

‘Resident needs a new token… apartment 319, it’s the red one that’s lost’.

Immediately, you know which token to replace, saving you crucial time when managing the system.

Well… you can do this with the different coloured Urmet tokens.

Find out more about our coloured tokens by clicking the title of this post!

Introducing 'Specifications', now available on each Product Page!

Following on from the successful launch of FAQ’s on each product page earlier this year, we have taken the next step in providing all product information within one product page, with the launch of ‘Specifications’.

Specifications is a new tab on each product page that details individual product specs such as Dimensions, Material and Protection Ratings for each product.

The introduction of product-specific ‘Specifications’ allows you to quickly find the information you require on specific Urmet products.

‘Specifications’ are now live on all main product pages, and it is currently being rolled out to every other product in the next few weeks.

To get a feel for Specifications, it’s best to have a look for yourself; simply click the title of this post which will take you straight to our Elekta Steel product page!

Announcing the NEW 'Urmet Solutions' Page!

We provide you a lot of information into the different ways Urmet can provide industry-leading ‘solutions’ to your current and upcoming projects.

However, we know that all this information can be overwhelming, and you’re bound to forget some (or most) of what we say.

So, we created a new area on our website where Urmet ‘Solutions’ are explained, providing you with the ability to easily learn about (and refer back to) the correct Urmet Solution for your project.

The new Urmet Solutions page provides you with an insight into the different applications for Urmet products and systems.

Each Solutions post goes more in-depth than our product pages, and provides you with an opportunity to learn more about each individual solution, so you can better communicate what you will be installing on site to your client.

We’ve initially launched with our 3 most popular topics, with more being added every week – so keep checking back!

Urmet have developed and released a new website feature!

Introducing Product Specific FAQ’s!

The Urmet Team get a lot of questions (which we love). However we noticed that specific questions about certain products kept cropping up. So we did something about it to make your life easier.

We created a new ‘FAQ’ section, which now sits on each product page.

This new section provides you with the answers to product specific, common questions that are asked by installers just like yourself.

Our FAQ’s section will provide you with short answers (1-2 lines) to our products’ commonly asked questions.

Ok, we know adding FAQ’s to the Urmet website isn’t THAT groundbreaking, but it’s where we’ve put them that makes it special.

It’s not a separate new page, they’re included on existing product pages – making them simple and convenient for you to view.

For a quick tutorial on how to find our FAQ’s, click the image below…

This year, Urmet & Anchor Sound & Security are celebrating 40 years of working together.

To commemorate this occasion, we have a very special installation to share.

Urmet Pro Installer Anchor Sound & Security first installed this original 625 panel in 1981, and it was still fully functioning!

Despite this, the system, and building, was in need of an upgrade, and Anchor Sound & Security were the clear choice for installing the new system.

Some of the features of the Sinthesi Steel Panel are:

Ability to add modules for unique panel design
Polished Stainless Steel
White LED Illuminated Buttons and Nameplates
Nameplate Engraving Available
Call Reassurance Tone when User Presses Button.
