NYC Intercom Systems

Compelling Reasons to Install Intercom Systems

Home is more than a sanctuary to everyone. It is a place where comfort, privacy and security should always be in place. If you are living in an apartment building, you should have the landlady or landlord install functional intercom systems for practical and logical safety reasons. Intercom systems are made of devices to facilitate simple communication from the outside of the house to the inside.

Thus, when there is someone ringing the doorbell or knocking on the door, you can easily recognize who the person is through speech communication. Criminals, robbers and unlikely strangers surely want you to open up your front door for them to get in. With the advent of intercom systems, they could not in any way get through and deceive you to make breaking in easier for them. Indeed, intercoms are among the most hated safety devices by robbers and criminals.

As time goes by, new technology is integrated into intercom systems to add more safety and convenience features. There are modern intercoms with audio-video capabilities for better functionality. Some are even equipped with radio and CD player inputs if you want to play music in strategic places inside and outside the apartment unit. For easier installation, there are even wireless intercom systems. Moreover, intercom systems are now necessities in homes and apartments. Here are some compelling reasons why your apartment unit should have one.
 
1. Intercom systems facilitate personal and home security. As mentioned, you can view, hear or find out who is at the door before finally deciding to open it to let him/her in. Modern video intercoms are also used as surveillance recorders if you will not be home for sometime.

2. Many modern intercom systems function as intercoms and home alarms at the same time. Such devices could be configured to operate as video monitors and recorders, door and window sensors, glass breakage sensors and motion detectors for maximum security.

3. Intercom systems could be installed to serve as room monitors. If your baby is sleeping on the next room, you can hear if he is awake and crying through an intercom installed in his room. For guest rooms, intercoms could be installed so that visitors could always ask you whatever they may need, whenever, so they do not need to knock on your door, which could be awkward on their part.

Some intercom systems available in the market could serve as automatic gate openers for your convenience. With just a push of a button, or through a remote control, the intercom could be a control panel to open and lock the gate or door. With intercom systems that could be operated through your mobile phone, you could find out identities of visitors or lock or open the door even if you are in the office, in the grocery or anywhere else.
