Enhance communication and security with state-of-the-art intercom systems, featuring audio and video capabilities designed to safeguard your premises and facilitate clear interactions.
Secure. Reliable. Innovative.
In scenarios where installing wiring is impractical or costly, opting for a wireless intercom system is an effective solution. These systems operate on radio frequencies that facilitate the operation of wireless devices.
The ability of a wireless intercom to support audio, video, or both is contingent upon the frequency band it utilizes, with most modern systems using bands below 3 GHz.
Pro Tip: Always inquire about the operational specifics when selecting a wireless intercom system. While a direct internet connection is ideal for stability, alternatives like WiFi or cellular networks (4G/5G) are viable if direct connections are unfeasible.
Always test the signal strength at the installation site to guarantee functionality.
Unlike their wireless counterparts, wired intercom systems are directly connected to the internet.
They vary in their wiring needs; basic systems may only require local connections for power and door lock interfaces, while more comprehensive systems might need extensive wiring from multiple substations to a central hub.
Pro Tip: For enhanced security and reduced interference, it’s advisable to use a Cat 5/6 ethernet cable for internet connectivity.
This setup minimizes disruptions caused by other devices and electrical noise.
Traditional audio intercoms, often found in older properties, enable direct communication between visitors and residents through a simple buzzer system, sometimes coupled with door release mechanisms.
However, with the advent of video technology, these are becoming less common in newer developments.
Pro Tip: For new constructions or upgrades, consider installing video intercom systems instead of traditional buzzers. They offer superior functionality at a comparable cost.
Make sure the installation site is properly wired to accommodate these advanced systems.
Video intercoms not only facilitate audio communication but also video, adding a layer of security and convenience. These systems typically require a camera to capture video and a display screen for viewing.
Video intercoms require:
Pro Tip: Opt for a video intercom system that integrates with smartphones, allowing tenants to manage access remotely. This not only enhances convenience but also reduces costs associated with internal hardware installations.
Make sure that these systems are directly connected to the internet to handle the greater bandwidth needs of video transmission.
Commercial intercom systems require added functionality to manage the complexities of a multi-tenant building effectively. They need to facilitate communication not only with individual employees but also directly with business entities within the building.
This feature is essential for instances where visitors, such as delivery personnel, need access to the premises without direct contact with a specific employee.
For instance, a courier delivering parcels may need to interact with a general point of contact rather than an individual employee who placed the order. In such cases, the intercom should provide options to connect with a central reception or front desk.
Pro Tip: Ensure your commercial intercom system is configured to allow visitors to contact both individual businesses and their employees within the building.
This capability ensures all visitors can be appropriately directed, regardless of their specific needs during the visit.
Designed for clarity and reliability, these systems allow for direct communication between visitors and occupants, secure way to verify and grant access without compromising the safety of your premises.
These devices provide real-time audio and video feeds from intercom door phones, enabling occupants to interact safely with visitors and monitor entry points from the comfort of their indoor environment.
