DIFFERENT KINDS OF INTERCOM SYSTEMS

For past decades, the use of intercom systems for gaining ease of access and achieving the right security goals has become popular for various commercial or residential buildings. Intercoms can help with the convenience of gaining access and the safety to prevent theft and other illegal acts for all properties.

The offices, buildings, industries, and gated communities all require the installation of intercom systems for the visitors to get benefits regarding access inside the property. Locksmith Dubai offers the installation of intercom systems professionally all over Dubai.

Components of Intercom System

The intercom systems consist of two main components: a base station and one or more substations. A base station is installed at the entrance. It works as the major component of the intercom system, while the substations, either one or more than one, are required to be connected to the base station. These substations are installed at different building sites, such as the interior side of the apartment or the office.  

Kinds of Intercom Systems

Nine different types of most commonly used intercom systems are required for the safety and convenience of visitors. These nine types are discussed in detail below:

WIRELESS INTERCOMS

It is very much difficult to run wiring all over the building, and it does require effort. Concerning all this, wireless systems were invented, and you can install them easily without dealing with the hassle of wires. These wireless intercoms work through radio frequencies, generally known as a spectrum, that carries out the signals enabling the wireless devices to run.

The portion of the spectrum used can enable the wireless intercom system to transmit audio, video, and even both through passing signals. The spectrum that is used is called the band. We always recommend connecting your wireless intercom system directly to the internet using an internet cable.

WIRED INTERCOMS

The major difference between the wire and the wireless intercom system is the way of connection to the internet. Almost all internet systems require some wiring; in some cases, much more wiring is required than others. The building intercom systems are cost-effective as they only require the wiring at the location where they need to be installed. In contrast, all the other intercoms require wiring all over the building.

AUDIO INTERCOMS

The most common type of intercom, known as an audio intercom, acts as a buzzer and allows visitors to tell about their identity through the speakers present at the audio intercom. Suppose the audio intercom has the door releasing device. In that case, the security guards can allow the visitor to grant access inside the building.

VIDEO INTERCOMS

These are the latest used intercom systems that have successfully replaced the use of audio intercoms as they are much more compatible in price as compared to audio intercoms. These intercom systems transmit video, which makes them more attractive to be used. A video intercom system needs a camera to capture the video and a display screen. An ideal video intercom possesses a built-in camera, and along with that, you can use an external camera too. Installing a video intercom directly to the internet is always a good idea.

OUTDOOR INTERCOM

An outdoor gate property needs to have an outdoor intercom system that can always remain intact at the entrance gate. Outdoor intercom systems can easily hold themselves outside because they are composed of weatherproof material or hardware, which is why they are installed outside.

 The visitors can use this intercom system to gain access inside the property by contacting the residents they want to approach. These are well-known as the most durable intercoms. We recommend that users install the IP65 outdoor intercom system, which is the most reliable.  

APARTMENT INTERCOMS

These types of intercoms are recommended for buildings that are manufactured with a lot of houses. This apartment intercom enables the visitors to contact the apartment where they want to gain access or where their residents live. A door-releasing mechanism is fitted with these intercoms so that visitors can gain easy access with permission.

COMMERCIAL INTERCOMS

Commercial intercoms are used for workplaces to make them safe and secure, and these are a bit difficult to handle, so they should be handled by only a professional locksmith, which we can provide you. The visitors need to call out to a business in order to contact any employee outside the building through the commercial intercoms.

OFFICE INTERCOMS

Office intercoms are based on two types; internal and external. The internal office intercoms offer a way of communication between employees inside the office. In contrast, the external intercoms offer communication between the people inside the office and those outside the workplace building delivery people, contractors, and visiting clients). The external intercoms used in offices possess the door-releasing device for allowing access to the property.

GATE INTERCOMS

A gate intercom allows cars and pedestrians to access the property after the verification. These intercoms are installed at gated communities, campgrounds, industries, and parking areas. The visitors can access the property with their vehicle through gate intercoms once it is opened.
