There are several types of audio intercom systems available to cover most applications.
Most interconnected by direct wiring to allow continuous talk paths.
Some of these systems are designed for residential applications and others are tailored for commercial use (see other section of this website for more information on commercial intercom systems).
An audio intercom system should be chosen with the help of a qualified design and implementation specialist.
An audio intercom system allow someone at a remote location to signal then talk to another person and make a request.
In some cases the intercom system allows communications through telephone lines to reach multiple users.
For example, in a hospital there may be an intercom device at a remote entrance such as a freight door to request entry to the hospital.
These devices are usually connected to the security station that also has control of the door to remotely unlock it.
In other applications such as an apartment building the intercom system is connected to an ordinary telephone line or PBX telephone line and has automatic dialers embedded in the circuitry. The user locates the resident code on the electronic directory of the intercom system, keys in that code the system automatically dials a telephone number associated with resident’s home telephone number. The resident can then enter a code on their home telephone number that unlocks the door.
A qualified expert can help you decide which type of system is right for your application.
Whether you get a lot or very few visitors to your property, an audio intercom system is a great way to monitor all activity without the need of face-to-face contact. But choosing the right audio system can be difficult.
