What is an intercom solution?
An intercom system is an electronic communication device that allows two-way communication for
the purpose of transmitting and receiving audio and/or video transmissions
Different intercom options:
• Wireless Intercoms: When there are no opportunities to install wired connections, a wireless system is then installed, which bases its connection through either Bluetooth or WiFi. Such systems include; handheld radios, outdoor wireless callboxes, desktop devices. However, there is a chance that the connection could be interrupted by a neighbour’s connection.
• Wired Intercom Systems: A wired system can be installed one of two ways; either using a 2-wire shielded system or Cat-5/6 option. If you are considering including a video system, a wired unit would be the best option for you.
• Video Intercoms: These units include a camera, speaker, entrance unit, and an internal monitor unit that can communicate with the entrance unit. As there can be difficulty sending video over airwaves, we would definitely recommend having a hard-wired connection for this type of intercom.
• Apartment Intercoms: This type of system has an entrance door unit and then each apartment or flat has either one or multiple units that can speak to the door, and possibly see the visitor, or the door unit rings a landline or cellular telephone number.
