ABB-Welcome M Door Entry System — Full Product Line Brochure

Product brochure for the ABB-Welcome M door entry system — a fully modular 2-wire video/audio door entry system for single-family homes through high-rise buildings and residential complexes with up to 60 buildings.

Overview

Welcome M is built on a modular design and a versatile 2-wire bus system, aimed at flexibility, simplicity, and elegance. It scales from a single-family house up to multi-family houses, apartment buildings, high-rise buildings with more than 200 apartments, and residential complexes with higher security requirements (screening incoming calls via a guard unit).
