An intercom system is a two-way communication electronic device that contains circuitry for the purpose of transmitting and receiving audio and/or video transmissions.
With the advent of cellular communication, digital telephone systems, and other communication devices, the use of intercoms has declined. However, there are still lots of applications where these devices still work better than anything else. There are a very wide variety of systems available as defined below:
Wireless Intercoms: In applications where wires cannot be run, a wireless system is used. There are a broad spectrum of two-way wireless communication devices that include such devices as handheld radios, outdoor wireless callboxes, as well as traditional desktop devices. The range these units will transmit varies widely based on the wireless technology used.
Wired Intercom Systems: When you can run wires between locations, a wired system can give you a little more privacy and eliminate possible interference from neighboring systems. There are different wire types such as 2-wire shielded or Cat-5/6 that can be used with these systems. If you are considering a video system, a wired unit may be the best solution.
Video Intercom: These typically have a unit that has a camera, speaker, and a push button that goes at an entrance door, and an internal monitor unit that can communicate with the entrance unit. Some systems can have multiple video monitors internally. Given the difficulty of sending video over the airwaves at very much distance without interference, most available units are wired.
Apartment Intercoms: This type of system has a door unit at an entrance door 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. A visitor simply presses the correct button for the apartment they want to speak to, and the tenant can speak back and then press a button to unlock the door.
Reliable and adaptable video intercom systems are available to meet your needs whenever and wherever they arise. Systems such as Master Stations, Door Stations, and Alarm Stations are just a few examples. They can also be generally operated with a range of accessories that you use on a daily basis, and you can view a live broadcast on a mobile application!
It takes just a few minutes to get started: Especially compared to the conventional analog video intercom systems, installation and wiring for digital video intercom systems are much more straightforward and flexible. A single network cable may be used for all of the wiring requirements, significantly simplifying the wiring process. Then, management software is utilized across the whole system for simple installation and changes, making the entire procedure fast and simple!!
With this video intercom system, access control features are included in: To enter, visitors must present an access control card to a reader at a door station. The platform center keeps track of all successful access attempts made using access control cards. Sensors for eight zones are linked to interior stations, and homeowners can activate and disable their systems using the indoor station. Platform center and master station alarm data may also be uploaded.
Easily make calls between workplaces within the same building or to other buildings. Ensure that stairwells and outdoor areas are protected by installing emergency stations in-wall boxes and towers that may be used to call security quickly.
Sound interference and problems are no longer an issue for you. It is one of the most frequent issues that video intercom systems face, and it is caused by noise and echo. It is common for the microphone to pick up noises and generate feedback via remote intercom connections, especially when the receiver sound level is turned up or the surrounding noise level is quite high. Communications are disrupted as a consequence of the resulting echo. For this reason, these intercom solutions use both hardware and software processing to resolve the issues associated with audio processing in order to provide clear intercom communication between the indoor and outdoor stations as well as between the master station and the other stations.
With noise and echo cancellation, you can communicate clearly. The door station camera has a 180° broad field of vision and is capable of recording in Full HD. With genuine and infrared night vision, you can see clearly day and night.
The administration of access controls, notifications, and the querying of different events may all be accomplished quickly and efficiently via software on the IP intercom system. The intercom system may be controlled based on the rights given to each user, which can be customised. Batch updating may be used to update device applications at the same time, making system maintenance more easy and straightforward. The intercom system's strong IP architecture makes it simple to extend, and it can handle up to 2000 device connections at a time!
