Video Intercom
What Is a Video Intercom System?
A video intercom system is a security and communication solution that allows occupants to see, speak with, and verify visitors before granting access. It typically includes an outdoor unit with a camera, microphone, speaker, and call button, along with an indoor monitor or mobile app for real-time video and audio communication. When a visitor presses the call button, the user can view and interact with them instantly and, if needed, unlock the door remotely.
