The video intercom industry is facing growing demands for system expansions including enhanced security. However, the challenge of rewiring communication lines to individual units remains immense. The cost-effective next-generation communication standard “Nessum” addresses these challenges by ensuring a level of security compliant with the Cyber Resilience Act, while providing a high-resolution communication environment to clearly display the faces of visitors. By leveraging existing wiring, Nessum streamlines network construction processes and reduces costs for large apartment complexes.

There is wiring used for various purposes inside and outside buildings, such as dedicated lines, coaxial cables, and power lines. Nessum is compatible with the international standard IEEE 1901 series, enabling these existing wires to be transformed into communication lines. This eliminates the need for new communication cables, allowing networks to be constructed quickly and at a low cost.
In preparation for the IoT era, there is a need to accelerate lines of communication such as RS485 Modbus, low-speed PLC, and HBS (IEBus). The introduction of Nessum will enable Mbps-based high-speed communication without changing these communication lines. This allows the transmission of high-resolution video, even when video intercom systems are distributed across large apartment complexes.
The European Cyber Resilience Act, effective in October 2024, mandates cybersecurity measures for all digital products sold in the EU. Video intercom manufacturers are also required to comply. By transitioning to IP communication, manufacturers can enable features such as data encryption and remote updates for security functions. This not only ensures compliance but also reduces the risk of unauthorized access and enhances product reliability.
The use of existing wiring (dedicated and power lines) saves the trouble of installing a new LAN cable. This will shorten the construction period and enable the establishment of a low-cost network. The ease of implementation also makes it more accessible for apartment management companies to adopt the system smoothly.
