One thing I didn't see mentioned is these can be configured as standard SIP endpoints and used on most SIP PBX systems.

It would be nice to know an estimated street cost so that can be considered when comparing to the Axis and Hik systems.
In a lot of ways this system sounds very similar to the Aiphone IX system.

I will mention that there is an upcoming firmware update that will make the camera ONVIF compatible so it will be able to be pulled into most VMS’s.
This is supposed to be released later this year.

Note that there is also an audio-only version of this product without the camera.
When researching door stations a few months ago I noticed a pattern:
(1) very few door stations offer high-quality audio with noise-reduction features that live up to expectations and
(2) for door stations that do offer high-quality audio there is typically also a significantly more expensive premium version of the product with a camera but the quality of these cameras is nearly without exception extremely low
For example, one vendor sells the the TCIV-3 station mentioned in the article for around $1600, while selling the audio-only version TCIS-3 for under $850. In other words, the camera features are priced at $750. For this price you would expect a high-quality camera but from the article we know that this is not what you get.
My recommendation is to buy the audio-only version of this product and spend the savings on a separate high-quality camera. I've done this in real life and am very happy with my decision.

I just spec'd this type of Solution using the IP Verso by 2N. Extremely scaleable, since the Axis Video Door Stations are all on Backorder, my Axis Rep sent me to the 2N Rep. The IP Verso Uses Modules to add on the various parts needed. Pretty sweet, plus the 2N Products intergrate well with Yealink and Grandstream, not to mention SIP and Astrick based IP PBX, like FreePBX.
