Top 5 Benefits of Consolidating Access Control into Microsoft Teams with Robin

Integrating smart door intercoms (like Robin Telecom) directly into Microsoft Teams unifies physical building access with everyday office communications. Eliminating dedicated hardware monitors streamlines door management into a single, centralized desktop and mobile application.

1 – Zero extra hardware costs

• Eliminates Fixed Monitors: Video calls route directly to existing PCs, laptops, tablets, or smartphones running Microsoft Teams.
• Reduces Maintenance: Fewer proprietary hardware components lower long-term hardware failures and maintenance costs.

2 – Remote & hybrid door management

• Answer Anywhere: Receptionists and facility managers screen visitors and unlock doors from home, between offices, or on the go via the Teams mobile app.
• Flexible Call Routing: Direct incoming door calls to specific channels, call queues, or ring groups so calls are always answered.

3 – High-Security video verification

• Live HD Video Preview: View clear live video of visitors directly inside the Teams interface before answering or opening the door.
• Two-Way Audio: Communicate with delivery drivers and guests using native HD Teams audio.

4 – Instant door unlock via Teams

• In-Call DTMF Commands: Unlock electric strikes or magnetic locks during a call with a simple keypad command inside Microsoft Teams.
• No Software Switching: Eliminates toggling between separate access control software and communication tools.

5 – Simplified IT & cloud management

• Centralized Administration: Manage intercom extensions and user permissions directly within the Microsoft Teams Admin Center.
• Native SIP Integration: Leverages existing cloud infrastructure for fast deployment without complex local server setups.
