What is an intercom system

A two-way communication electronic device with circuitry for sending and receiving audio and/or video transmissions is called an intercom system.

The use of intercoms has decreased as a result of the development of cellular communication, digital telephone networks, and other communication tools. However, these gadgets continue to outperform all alternatives in a variety of applications. As mentioned below, there are a huge number of systems available:

Intercoms with wireless technology: Intercoms with wireless technology are utilized in situations where running wires is impractical. A wide range of two-way wireless communication tools are available, including typical desktop tools, outdoor wireless callboxes, handheld radios, and more. Depending on the wireless technology being used, the transmission range of these equipment varies greatly.

Wired Intercom Systems: Intercom systems that are wired can provide you a little more privacy and prevent any interference from other systems when wires can be run between places. These systems can use a variety of wire types, including 2-wire shielded or Cat-5/6. The best option for a video system may be a wired device, if you’re thinking about getting one.

Video intercoms:  Video Intercoms normally consist of an entrance unit with a camera, speaker, and push button and an interior monitor device that can talk to the entrance unit. There are certain systems that can house multiple internal video monitors. The majority of devices on the market are wired since it is difficult to deliver video over the airways at great distances without interference.

Apartment intercoms: This kind of device has a door unit at the front door, and then each room or flat has one or more units that can talk at the door and potentially see the guest, or the door unit can ring a landline or mobile phone number. A visitor only needs to push the appropriate button for the unit they wish to talk with, and the resident can respond by speaking and then unlocking the door by pressing another button.

Tow-Way radios: While two-way radios do not technically count as intercoms, they can interact with ground station intercoms. Thus, you may combine the adaptability of a wireless communication systems that can communicate over great distances with the functionality that a permanent intercom offers.
