Intercom

Intercom Systems are mainly used for the screening of visitors before they enter a premise.

They offer 2-way audio communication and 1-way video verification. The basic concept is simple; a visitor presses the 'call' button at the Door Station to signal their arrival. The occupants respond by communicating with the visitors at the audio (and video) handset, then releasing the door by a simple push of the button from their tenancy. This releases the electronic lock (or opens the gate or barrier arm) which allows the visitor to access the building.

Intercom Systems can be used for single tenanted applications with just one door station, to a multi-tenanted business or residential properties with multiple door stations and handsets, even accommodating a concierge station for 24hr staff.

Intercom Systems often have built-in keypads which give access to tenants by entering their PIN code. Door stations can be concealed (flush) or surface mounted, and are often vandal resistant stainless steel.

Intercom Systems should not be confused with more complex Access Control Systems, as Intercoms rarely have the ability to log movements of users and are not usually connected to PC's for programming and integration.
