Why frogblue
What makes frogblue different
Truly decentralised
No central server. No IT cabinet. Every device is autonomous — credentials, rules and automation logic live at the door and in the installed modules, not in a rack.
No single point of failure
If the network drops, doors still open. If the internet drops, the building keeps working. If everything else drops, Bluetooth Mesh keeps communication and control alive.
No cloud lock-in
frogCloud is optional — a convenience, not a dependency. The building runs on-premise; cloud adds remote access, push calls and smartphone convenience.
Multi-factor access control, standard
RFID + PIN + video verification in one device. Almost no competitor offers all three in a single door station.
Tamper-resistant by design
Encrypted credentials, decentralised verification, no master server to compromise.
Built to be seen and touched
Machined aluminium, glass and stainless finishes, refined haptics, German engineering — hardware that belongs on a representative façade.
Architecture
Decentralised by design
Instead of routing every function through a central controller, frogblue distributes intelligence across the installed devices. Lights, doors, scenes and automation logic keep working locally — even when the network or internet does not.
- Patented Bluetooth Mesh — self-healing, multi-path communication
- IP extension via frogCast for larger and multi-site buildings
- Local-first automation logic — no server, no switch cabinet
frogTerminal
The intercom, access & automation hub — reimagined
frogTerminal unites SIP video telephony, multi-factor access control and building automation in one device, connecting door calls to SIP phones, indoor stations, smartphones, DECT handsets, KNX and video management systems.
- SIP video door communication — direct SIP and frogCloud SIP
- MOBOTIX MxMC live video, two-way audio, door release and event review
- FRITZ!Box / FRITZ!Phone DECT direct integration
- KNX event/action linking and outgoing HTTP/webhook triggers
Access control
Professional access control
DESFire EV2 RFID, PINs, schedules, zones and validity periods — managed locally and intelligently, with access rights carried on the card and optional card + PIN + video verification for higher-security requirements.
- MIFARE DESFire EV2 credentials
- Up to 20 access zones per project; up to 15 time profiles per card
- Works locally and tolerates network outages — no server lookup required
Retrofit & expansion
Made for retrofit and expansion
frogs install behind existing switches and outlets — no new communication cabling. IP extension connects larger buildings and separated areas into one system. Rooms retrofit in hours, not weeks.
- No new bus cabling — modules fit behind existing switches and outlets
- frogCast bridges separated Bluetooth zones over IP
- Scales from one room to multi-building campuses
One platform, every layer of the building
From the door to the last light switch — intercom, access, automation, software and cloud as one connected system.
