Intercoms have been helping us simplify property access and protect residential and commercial buildings for many years. They can handle any visitor access and plays a very significant role in improving security and comfort at all properties.
What Is An Intercom Device And How Does It Work?
The Intercom is an electronic system that allows Interpersonal communication between two people. It also grants property access to visitors in a building by opening a gate or door. It is used for a number of applications, but its major purpose is to allow communication and property access.
You can use intercoms to call the tenants in their building and communicate with them by transferring video and audio signals. The base station captures videos and audio and transfers them to substations. Then, it allows tenants to speak and see them before providing them access to their building. Sometimes a person who wants to get into your home can be a thief or someone with bad intentions, so it’s important to know and identify that person before allowing them into your home.
