Intercoms

 

Introduction

An intercom or intercommunication device is a communication device that allows people to communicate through different compartments or rooms in a building. The communication could involve two or more people, and it may take place between people in different buildings or locations. 

​

How It Works:
The entire process happens over electronic devices which are usually mounted permanently on a buildings, vehicles, ships or airplanes. Walkie-talkies were the first intercom devices, and they were later followed by telephones and cell phones which people could use to communicate. For instance, you could install an intercom in your residential house so as to communicate with other family members or monitor what is going on in your kids’ room. In addition, some intercom devices are fitted in entrance points like doors and gates. In such cases, the intercom notifies the homeowner about the arrival of a guest meaning you can either give or deny the guest the permission to access your premises remotely depending on whether you want to meet or not. Some of the most popular intercom systems are apartment entry intercoms, network intercoms, audio visual intercoms and audio intercoms.
