Simply put, an intercom system is a communication system where a visitor rings the bell outside and a bell rings inside. Without opening a door, you can communicate with your visitor. If your intercom system is also equipped with a camera, you can also see who is at the door. Most intercom systems also have a function to remotely open or close a door.
An intercom system helps you control and automate access to your home or business. This provides a sense of comfort and security.
An intercom system is versatile and a very effective way of access control. There are now many variants on the market.
- Audio intercom; the classic talk/listen connection.
- Video/audio intercom; the classic talk/listen connection extended by a viewing connection. The outdoor unit is then equipped with a camera.
- Wireless intercom system; communication between the visitor and the user is via the wireless network.
- Intercom system in combination with access control; if you own or manage a building with several tenants or users, an integrated system offers many advantages. Even for large organisations with many employees and visitors or day-care centres where not just anyone can walk in, these systems are easy to manage via an online platform.
So consider in advance for what purpose you want an intercom system.
There is a solution for every situation; from a stand-alone system for a single home to a fully integrated access system for the large companies and organisations that want to bring access control and security together in one system.
