Tiara: The Innovative Hands-Free Video Door Phone

Revolutionizing Intercom Systems with Style and Functionality

Tiara, designed by Rahsan Akin, is a groundbreaking hands-free video door phone that combines sleek aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. With its unique features and patented design, Tiara sets a new standard for intercom systems.

Tiara was specifically designed to be versatile, allowing for both horizontal and vertical use depending on the width of the space. This flexibility ensures that the aesthetic quality of the product is maintained, regardless of its orientation. The standout feature of Tiara is its patented 90-degree swivel apparatus, which enables easy rotation of the monitor without the need to remove it or the monitor apparatus. This eliminates the common issues associated with cables connecting the monitor to the circuit board.

Unlike traditional intercom products, Tiara's lids can be opened effortlessly, thanks to the patented lock system. This innovative mechanism allows users to slide the lock lever into a locked position to secure the lids, and sliding it in the opposite direction opens them. This not only prevents any damage during the opening and closing process but also significantly reduces the time required for these operations.

Another standout feature of Tiara is its replaceable frames and speaker grills, which provide a surprising aesthetic impact. Users can easily customize the look of their Tiara to match their personal style or interior design preferences.

Manufactured using injection plastic technology, Tiara boasts a compact design with dimensions of 110 x 214 x 26 mm. The package dimensions are 113 x 230 x 30 mm, ensuring easy installation and transportation.

The Tiara project, led by Rahsan Akin and supported by NETELSAN San. Tic. Ltd. Sti, began in April 2011 and was successfully launched into the market in May 2012 in Turkey. Throughout the design process, the team faced several challenges, including the need to find a solution that allowed for easy rotation of the monitor without compromising its connection to the circuit board. Additionally, they had to overcome the limitations of traditional intercom lids, which often hindered repair procedures.

Tiara's exceptional design and functionality have not gone unnoticed. In 2013, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Building Materials and Construction Components category. This prestigious accolade recognizes Tiara's outstanding creativity, resourcefulness, and contribution to improving quality of life. By incorporating the best practices in art, science, design, and technology, Tiara sets a new benchmark for intercom systems.

With its sleek design, innovative features, and recognition in the design community, Tiara is truly a game-changer in the world of hands-free video door phones. Whether in a residential or commercial setting, Tiara offers a seamless and stylish way to communicate and monitor entry points, ensuring both convenience and security.
