elevator.tv is proud to announce the development of a new elevator video call system designed to meet the latest global safety requirements introduced in ASME A17.1/CSA B44 and IBC 2021. These new standards move beyond voice-only phones and require visual, text, and accessible communication, and elevator.tv is building a solution ready for this new era, seamlessly integrated into its advanced digital signage system.

Digital Signage + Emergency Communication - In One Screen

Our approach is simple: Use the same elevator display for digital signage during daily operation, and instantly convert it into an emergency communication interface when needed.


This dual-purpose design creates a perfect combination:

  • Digital signage throughout normal operation (advertising, information, announcements, building messages)

  • Instant switch to emergency mode if a passenger presses the alarm button

  • Two-way video, allowing responders to see inside the cabin

  • Two-way text messaging for accessibility

  • Clear on-screen instructions and status updates (“Help is on the way”)

This eliminates the need for extra hardware, reduces installation complexity, and ensures every elevator is equipped for the upcoming requirements.


Built for the New Standards

The system is engineered for full compliance with emerging international codes that require:

  • video capability

  • text-based communication

  • visual feedback for passengers

  • reliable operation even under noisy or stressful conditions

With secure communication, and automatic failover, the system is designed for real-world elevator environments.


Future-Ready, Smart-Building Friendly

By combining digital signage and emergency video calling into one intelligent device, building owners benefit from:

  • modern passenger experience

  • improved safety and accessibility

  • lower installation and maintenance costs

  • a future-proof platform aligned with global code updates


Pilot deployments are scheduled for early 2026.
