Types of Intercom Systems
Choose the perfect intercom solution for your needs
Video Intercom Systems
Video intercoms enable you communicate and visually identify who's at your door or gate before allowing them in. These setups come with a built-in camera that provides video footage, even in low light conditions, and can connect to your phone. These types of systems have become one of the go-to products on the market for both residential and commercial properties due to the simplicity and added convenience of being able to visually identify whose at your premises.
Gate Intercom Systems
Gate intercoms allow you communicate with visitors at your entrance before letting them in. This helps keep unwanted people out and creates a secure environment. These systems are commonly installed at residential homes, estates, and business premises, providing a reliable first point of contact at the gate. Depending on how far away the gate is, the proximity of a power source, and the site configuration, these intercoms can be installed as either wired or wireless solutions to provide stable communication and long-term reliability.
Wireless Intercom Systems
Wireless intercom systems are ideal for properties where running cables is impractical or cost-prohibitive, offering a flexible and efficient communication solution. These systems are well suited to homes and small businesses and can connect to indoor monitors or smartphones for added convenience. Wireless intercom systems are especially popular for existing properties and retrofit installations, allowing improved access control without major disruption to the property.
Residential Intercom Systems
Residential intercom systems are designed specifically for private homes, townhouses, and gated estates, giving homeowners greater control over who enters their property. These systems allow you to answer calls from inside the house, open gates remotely, and receive visitor notifications on your smartphone. Whether installing a basic house intercom or a fully integrated video intercom system, residential solutions are tailored to improve convenience, safety, and peace of mind.
Commercial Intercom Systems
Commercial intercom systems are used by offices, factories, and retail spaces to manage visitor access while maintaining efficient day-to-day operations. These systems can be integrated with access control, CCTV surveillance, biometric readers, and boom gates to create a layered security solution. Professionally installed business intercom systems help regulate entry, reduce security risks, and support a safer working environment.
Access Control Intercoms
Access control intercom systems combine visitor communication with controlled entry, allowing you to verify and grant access through doors, gates, or turnstiles. These systems are commonly used in residential estates, commercial buildings, and secure facilities where regulated access is essential. By integrating intercom functionality with access control technologies such as keypads, tags, or mobile credentials, access control intercoms provide a streamlined and secure way to manage entry points.
