Intercom systems are commonly found installed in blocks of flats and modern luxury homes and apartments. The technicality of older intercom systems are very basic compared to new modern systems so they have come a long way since they were introduced. A modern system can provide you with a variety of different options designed to accommodate your needs making life easier and potentially safer for you. We will run through and explain modern intercom systems and show you what they can do considerable more than just communicating with callers at the door.
Intercom types:
Video intercoms
A Video Intercom Entry System is typically used for multiple doors, such as a block of flats, coordinated by the main intercom Call Station but can also be used for a single door only such as an apartment. It can be used with or without the use of an access keypad. There usually is a video handset usually located within the premises that can grant someone access once they have been approved by the individual they are calling on. Access is granted by the called upon person pressing the lock release button on the system inside their premises.
There is a number of video handsets on the market varying from a standard cord handset to a deluxe video door monitor station mounted on the wall. They can be totally hands free to operate and obtainable in a variety of different colours and finishes to include chrome and brass depending on your taste.

IP intercoms
There are no limits to the number of units incorporated into the system and no limits when it comes to distance travel between individual systems when using an IP network. This means they are tremendously adaptable and can be used on large flats, apartment blocks or single apartment residence.
They can also be used on large commercial applications such as schools, hospitals and office blocks. Classic features to the system include a seven in touch screen mounted to the wall with a LCD built in monitor using an Android operation. They have entre panels designed to be vandal resistant available in a number of different finishes to blend in with the design of the building they are installed in.

Features include:
Wireless intercoms
When a caller comes to visit they show up at the main entrance. He or she will then call the portable handset located inside the home or office and announce their presence via a 2-way conversation.
The portable handset will remotely be able to operate a maximum of 16 auto systems wirelessly controlling each system and can identify sounds at the entrance door. They can be used to check to see if the lights are on or off, view entrances to see if doors are open or closed all through the handset monitor screen and you are able to talk with another handset.
Wireless versus wired intercoms
Most electricians will prefer a wired intercom set up for areas such as main gates as they have a proven track record for reliability. A wireless set up does provide a very easy installation but there are considerations to take into account.
Multi way intercoms
This design is perfect for gated residential communities and apartment blocks. Commonly used are modular systems, which can be tailor, made to suit your specific needs. They can look after 30 or more properties with call button services to each apartment allowing each occupier to have three handsets per household. This can then be upgraded to incorporate keypads and video links.
GSM intercom systems
There is currently on the market two kinds of GSM Intercom systems.
The first being a system that permits mobile phone calls being received from the gate usually from a call house and then rerouted to your mobile if there is no answer at the gate.
The second is a remote, which can store 200 telephone numbers in their memory caller ID. This means that someone who calls the gate who has their number stored on the system it recognises it and lets you in automatically. This is perfect for communal gates such as marinas, leisure centres and access to commercial premises when it’s out of business hours.
