Upgrade your home with a video intercom system
Ever felt anxious when you hear an unexpected knock on your front door? Worry about vulnerable relatives opening the door to strangers, especially those that live alone?
Video IP Intercoms are a secure and convenient way to manage who is on your doorstep and ringing your doorbell. It works as a two-way communication device so that you can speak to the visitor outside your home, without opening the door. IP stands for internet protocol and means that the video intercom works by connecting to your internet connection and WIFI.
A Video Home Intercom will consist of a device that will go on the outside of your property, consisting of a camera, microphone and speaker. Another device will be inside your property or viewed via an App that will act as a video monitor and central control point for your home intercom.
There are many video IP home intercoms available, with options to suit various budgets, needs, households and lifestyles. The majority of home intercoms are controlled via an App and are completely cloud-based, meaning you are able to manage who is at your property from anywhere in the world, at any time of day, with no need for excess equipment.
Benefits of Video Intercoms
Easy to install
The installation of modern video IP intercoms is simple, due to connecting to your current internet connection. This means there is no need for extra wiring and installation can be performed quickly, with minimal disturbance to your household.
Increased home security
You’ll be able to see who is at your home before opening the door and letting them in. With features such as facial recognition, this can massively improve your home security and the safety of your loved ones.
Remote viewing
Due to being App & cloud-based, a home intercom can be accessed from anywhere with a smart device connected to the internet. Whether you are at work or on holiday, you can keep a clear eye on who is approaching your property and at your door.
Integrate with your security system
Video IP Home Intercoms have the capabilities to be interlinked with your current home security system such as CCTV cameras. Keep an eye on other areas of your home through existing CCTV cameras and view them on the system’s video monitor. This gives you added control of your entire home security.
Increase property value
A high-quality security system and especially a video home intercom can have an impact on your property value. Security and home safety are highly valued these days, especially with many individuals possessing valuable items and technology. Homeowners can charge more for a home that is more secure.
Peace of mind
Nothing can beat the benefit of peace of mind. Eliminate the worry of not knowing whose at your door or if there is suspicious activity when you’re away from home. By being able to visually see who’s at your door through the intercom’s video monitor, you’ll never be unsure whether to open your front door or not.
