Introduction

By thinking about putting in an intercom system, you are taking sensible measures to increase the safety of your home or business. Intercom systems are the perfect way to secure the home from theft and protect your family and your valuables.

You can now see and potentially speak with whoever is at your door before you even open it. With these 5 different types of intercom systems, you’ll have all kinds of options to protect your home in the way you need most. Compare the available intercom options.

Wireless Intercom

The traditional ip intercoms system has been replaced by a more modern wireless unit. The wireless intercom is less expensive than wired alternatives because it operates on a different radio frequency. In most cases, you can start using them immediately after taking them out of the box, with as little as zero setups required.

All you have to do is keep the battery charged and keep in mind how far away your wireless device actually is. While these are simple to set up, they may fall short of meeting your range and interference requirements. It’s possible that someone who shouldn’t be listening in could pick up your signal if you’re not careful. 

Video Intercom

The use of a video intercom is yet another choice. This is ideal for residences where the inhabitants would prefer to have the option of observing any potential visitors before deciding whether or not to open the door. Because video is more difficult to send wirelessly than audio, these systems are typically wired.

You could also install a camera within your intercom system if you go with modern smart home technology.

Smartphones and tablets now make it possible to lock the door, turn off the lights, and adjust the temperature all from one convenient device. This means you can connect your front door’s webcam to the rest of your smart home’s infrastructure. It requires a reliable internet connection and may be susceptible to hacking, but you do have remote access.

Automatic-gate entry intercom unit

Do you get a lot of guests and dislike having to interrupt what you’re doing to greet them? Let visitors into your home without having to personally be there by using the automated gate’s intercom system. 

A simple push of a button will open the door for them. A small camera installed at the gate allows you to see who is knocking. From the comfort of your own home, you can see who’s at the door, communicate with them, and let them in.

Carrier-Current

The carrier-current intercom is a system that can be used with the wiring that is already installed in your home. At your front door is an additional low-cost method of communicating with guests who are visiting. The sound quality may not be as high as that of other available choices, despite the fact that it is easy to set up and maintain in good working order.

Hard-wired intercom

The hard-wired unit that can be mounted inside the house is by far the most common intercom option. These allow you to speak to someone at the front door through your intercom speakers, which are located inside the house and are connected by a wire.

This model may cost a little bit more, but it is much more durable and reliable, both in terms of blocking out noise and handling increased stress. A clear audio feed means less guesswork as to whether or not your home is safe. During building, a wired unit can be easily installed. Get in touch with an expert about setting up this.
