Multi-tenant buildings require an intercom system with door release to enable visitors to safely communicate with residents for entry access. These systems let visitors make contact with their desired unit and allow residents to grant them access remotely using a buzz system. Apartment intercom systems exist in two formats wireless and wired with distinct advantages and considerations in each.
Wired Intercom Systems
The installation of wired intercom systems involves running wires throughout the building to establish a connection from each apartment to a central wall station intercom. The wired intercom system offers dependable performance yet faces installation challenges due to its labor-intensive nature and high costs when implemented in established buildings that require new wiring. The existing wiring of your old intercom system might be used for the new system if compatibility requirements are met. The wired intercom system offers robust connectivity for up to 48 apartments in large buildings.
Telephone Entry Systems
Telephone entry systems represent a wired intercom variation that establishes connections through phone lines to reach tenants' telephones. The system functions by letting visitors make a direct call to the tenant's phone number so that access can be granted remotely by the tenant. This system depends on traditional phone lines but still delivers dependable communication and access control services.
Wireless Intercom Systems
Wireless intercom solutions serve as up-to-date replacements to traditional systems by removing the requirement for extensive wiring connections. Advanced wireless technology enables these systems to establish communication between visitors and tenants. A wireless intercom system that operates through cell phone technology represents a popular choice. The system operates using just a power source and electric door strike connection. Installing an AT&T or T-Mobile plan for your door intercom system will enable direct calls to tenants' cell phones. The wireless system's easy installation offers adaptability which makes it perfect for new building projects and updating current structures.
Key Considerations
Consider several factors when selecting an apartment door release intercom system.
- Building Size: The building's number of units determines which intercom system type will work best. Buildings with more units might achieve better performance with a wired system designed for higher capacity needs.
- Installation: Evaluate whether it is possible to install new wiring or make use of the building's existing infrastructure for wired intercom systems. Wireless systems offer simpler installation.
- Compatibility: The selected system must align with both your building layout and existing technological systems.
- Budget: Evaluate both the upfront installation expenses and the recurring costs of maintenance and subscriptions when selecting wireless systems.
