What are video
intercom systems?
The Residential video intercom systems are the apartment entry system that has replaced the traditional equipment such as buzzers, wired intercoms, keys, and pin codes with a digital and modern system that comes with audiovisual communication and has wireless capabilities. It can also be known as residential video intercom systems that can be used in residential building entrances to be accessed from any part of the house to keep a check on who enters and exits from the house.
Each residential apartment is different and the requirements could vary from person to person,
hence, one should choose the best suitable video intercom as per the individual
requirements. Certain points that need to be taken into account before opting
for a residential video intercom systems are:
· Understand your
requirements: Before opting for an intercom system,
understand your personal desired requirements as to what is the outcome or the
features you want to include in your security system. The requirement includes
your budget, validation of the visitors, maintenance of a visitor log, storage,
remote access to the security system, etc. features. Also, you need to
understand the needs because if you already have a CCTV camera with good
storage capacity then, you might not need the same thing again with another
security system.
·
PTZ (Pan, Tilt, and
Zoom) feature: The high-end video intercom system
includes a PTZ feature where if you do not understand if there was an object,
person, or anything you can pan and zoom in to identify it better. If there’s no
security camera available on your property and you want to install a security a system, the video intercom could be the best option for the entrance of a
residential building, warehouse, etc., areas.
·
Storage Required: It is important to know the storage capacity required from
the video intercom system. The storage also depends on whether you will place
the security system at the residential buildings or commercial buildings. The
storage also depends on how much data you want to store and the capacity of
your system setup as some cameras only record when there’s a movement whereas
some record the entire day like any other CCTV camera. It will also be
important to understand the requirement of saving the footage, as usually,
homeowners want a month footage and business owners keep three months footage
for some kind of claims if required.
·
Wired or wireless: It is also important to understand whether you need a wired
or unwired (wireless) security system. This depends upon the range of the
security system as with the increase in distance the range of the wireless
video intercom systems becomes weaker.
