The 2108 eVolve Video Entry System is a residential video entry system designed for single-family homes, small multi-family residences, apartment complexes, and college residence halls. The system enables homeowners and residents to communicate with visitors using live voice and video through the DKS Resident App while providing browser-based programming and management through the DKS Cloud. System settings can be accessed from an internet-connected laptop, tablet, or smartphone, allowing administrators to manage users, access schedules, entry codes, and other programming functions remotely. The system operates using either a VoIP/Ethernet connection or an optional cellular connection.
The 2108 features broadcast calling, allowing up to four designated telephones to ring simultaneously when a visitor presses the call button. Residents can answer using a landline, cordless phone, or smartphone and grant or deny access remotely. A built-in IP camera provides live video streaming through the DKS Resident App, enabling users to view visitors before allowing entry. The system supports up to three controlled entry points, making it suitable for vehicle gates, pedestrian gates, or doors managed from a single installation. Programming changes are synchronized through the DKS Cloud, and administrators can configure schedules, relay settings, microphone and speaker adjustments, and access permissions from any supported web browser. The manufacturer notes that the system uses the DKS Cloud for all operating functions and requires a monthly connection fee.
