Benefits of an IP Intercom System

*With an IP Intercom you can manage the system by various users versus the traditional one, where many times a front doorbell is answered by a reception team.

*You can visually see (video intercom) whose is wanting access versus hearing (audio intercom).

*Much easier to install and less disruptive to business. Connected through exiting IP infrastructure. No extensive wiring is needed making the installation quicker and less intrusive to the business.

*The intercom system can be set up to track and log visitor data.

*Traditional or analog systems can suffer from poor audio/video quality or even system outages. They can be problematic and many times are black and white video. An IP system offers a better quality of video and audio.

*When your business grows, so can the intercom system, with ease. You can easily give new call points without the need for new wiring. Once again, less wiring, less disruption to the business.
