Intercom systems: Your A-Z guide

To control access to any home, apartment, building, or business, an intercom will be needed.

An intercom system will allow occupants to see or hear whoever is trying to enter their home or business, before deciding if they should be let in.

The security benefits are obvious, and there's a lot of other perks that come with modern intercom systems.

Modern intercom systems come in many shapes and sizes, but the basic premise doesn’t change. Regardless of the circumstances or needs of any premises, there’s always an intercom system that can be fit for purpose.

Intercom systems have revolutionised communication within homes and buildings: a number of benefits including enhanced security, improved communication, convenience, and smooth integration with other security systems. Keep reading to learn more about intercoms.

Wired vs Wireless Intercom Systems

What is an intercom system?

An intercom, or “intercommunication device” is a two-way communication device that can be used for homes, apartment buildings, or business buildings.

This means that when someone wants to enter a home or business, they can be seen or spoken to first.

Most modern intercom systems feature both video and audio - to allow sight of the person and the site of entry. Other systems only feature audio.

They’re generally considered a pretty basic security tool, but modern intercoms tend to be a bit more sophisticated.

What are the benefits of an intercom system?

Screen visitors

See or hear everyone trying to visit the building, home or business.

Convenience and comfort

Depending on the system, users can just buzz people in - monitoring visitors from the comfort of their couch.

Discourage criminals

Criminals will have less confidence if they know you they will be screened.

Complement an existing security system

They’re a great complement to alarms, CCTV, and your home automation setup.

Increase efficiency for any business

Users can make announcements over the intercom, as one example

Monitor children or dependants

Intercoms open communication with, and awareness of, children or anyone else within the system.

They should be fully licensed, qualified and insured.
