IP video intercom: benefits for homes and buildings

A video intercom is no longer just a screen in the hallway. An IP video intercom lets you see who's calling and open the door from anywhere.

What changes compared with analogue

  • Answer from your phone, at home or away.
  • Open remotely for a courier, family member or technician.
  • Codes or cards at the street panel for residents and services.
  • Call history with images.
  • Multiple screens and users per home.

For detached houses

The intercom integrates with cameras, alarm and home automation: when the door opens, the entrance lights can come on; if you're away, you see the caller on your phone. Ideal for second homes.

For buildings and residential blocks

In buildings, it manages access for residents, cleaning and maintenance companies without handing out keys, and can be combined with garage access control.

Existing buildings

Some systems work over existing two-wire cabling, so a building can be upgraded without major works.

Security and privacy

Users must be configured properly and, if the system records images, the same privacy principles apply as for any camera.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work if the internet goes down?

The street panel and indoor monitors keep working locally; only call forwarding to your phone depends on the internet.
