Video Intercom System For Your Security
Installing a video intercom system to your property provides home security by viewing
and talking to your visitors before you open the door. It provides more information
to help make a decision to whether to let someone into your property.
A video intercom usually consists of two components: a weatherproof camera built into a
door bell button unit that goes at the front door and a monitor unit that enables
you to see who is at the camera. The monitor can provide either a black and white
or color picture.
You can safely identify visitors before answering your door. Simply by ringing the
doorbell, the system will transmit live audio and video directly to the monitor
inside the property. You will then have the choice to enable intercom communication
with a touch of a button. These systems often have a built-in picture memory function,
whereby each picture is date and time stamped to show you who was at your door even
when you are not home.
Some video intercom systems allow a SD memory card to be inserted so that additional
pictures can be stored. For homes that require additional doorbells and cameras
for multiple entrances, expansion is possible on certain systems.
In summary, the main benefits for installing a video intercom are:
- See who is at the door before you open it
- Find out who visited while you were away
- Children no longer have to open the door to strangers
- Unlock the door remotely for guests
- Increase the overall security for your home
- Decide whether or not you want to answer the door
