Selecting an intercom system requires evaluating which specific features meet your needs and understanding how wired systems differ from wireless systems.
Call Individual Rooms
- Wired Systems: These systems excel at calling individual rooms. These systems allow calls to direct to specific locations without alerting all stations at once.
- Wireless Systems: Traditional wireless intercoms broadcast messages to all stations except when they use isolated channels among the 4-5 possibilities. Users experience inconvenience with wireless systems when they need to alter communication channels since they often fail to remember to revert to the initial channel.
Handsfree Operation
This feature enables speech initiation by pressing and releasing a button instead of holding it down continuously. Intercoms typically struggle to maintain this function but certain wired systems allow stations to access monitor mode where users can listen continuously and engage in button-press communication. This feature exists in both cell phone intercoms and Wi-Fi intercoms.
Video Recording and Monitoring
The Video Intercom Systems provides real-time video recording with date and time stamps functioning like a digital video recording security camera. Users transfer their recordings to their computer through the memory cartridge. The video monitoring feature provides hidden observation capabilities for the area around the door phone camera. Users can monitor their children remotely with these systems and identify visitors at the door without the need for a bell while simultaneously keeping track of vandalism or criminal activities. Most video intercoms include this capability.Electric Door or Gate Opener
