An intercom system is a two-way communication device that allows users to transmit and receive audio and/or video transmissions.
Although some may argue that with the increase in cellular communication, digital telephone systems, and other communication devices, the use of intercoms has declined but there are still many applications where these devices work better than anything else
The range these units will transmit varies widely based on the wireless technology used.
Wired security systems can be installed in areas where running cables is easy, giving you some extra privacy and eliminating the chance of interference from other nearby systems.
If you’re thinking about installing a video system, it’s best to go wired.
Video doorbells typically have a unit that has a camera and speaker at the entrance point of a building and an internal monitor unit that can communicate with the entrance unit.
Due to the difficulty of sending video wirelessly over long distances without encountering interference, most available systems are hardwired.
This type of system has an entrance-door unit that can talk to all the apartments or flats.
Visitors choose which apartment or flat to contact by selecting a button for that specific location on the door unit, and the resident can speak to the visitor through an intercom system before releasing the lock on the door.
While these are technically not intercoms, they are two-way radio devices that communicate with intercom base stations.
So you can have the flexibility of a mobile radio system while gaining the ability to communicate over a long distance.
