Commercial Quality Audio-Only and Camera Doorbell Intercoms

A doorbell intercom, as we define it, is a lightweight intercom primarily designed for residential use. A prime example of this category are video doorbells like the Ring Doorbell Camera. It's worth noting that for remote door unlocking capabilities on these budget intercoms, you'll need to invest in a compatible deadbolt, which might come from third-party manufacturers. However, these locks often come at a higher price point compared to the doorbell itself.

For higher-grade, commercial-grade intercoms, we recommend considering a door intercom. These come in various technologies:

2-Wire Wired Intercoms: These systems utilize a simple 2-conductor wiring between the door intercom and the indoor station. Typically, they offer audio-only communication, making them a cost-effective option. Some variants cater to smaller buildings, featuring video stations for added functionality.

Cell Phone Intercoms: Leveraging cell phone technology, these systems can reach designated phones regardless of location. While they require a cell service subscription, they offer straightforward installation without the need for intricate wiring to indoor stations. Ideal for both multi-tenant setups like apartment buildings and single-occupant properties.

Wireless Intercoms: Operating via either 2-way radio frequencies or Wi-Fi, these systems establish a link between the outdoor intercom and a monitoring station. Two-way radio intercoms communicate with handheld radios or base station intercoms using business-band 2-way radio frequencies. Wi-Fi wireless intercoms typically incorporate video along with audio for enhanced functionality.

CAT-5 Wired Intercoms: Utilizing CAT-5 wiring, these systems, though not necessarily internet protocol-enabled, often boast video-based door intercom functionalities. They are particularly suitable for multi-tenant configurations or single-occupant applications.
