Video Intercom System
A video intercom system offers an extra layer of protection and security to suit all home or business needs.

Once the doorbell (or buzzer) is pressed, an image of the visitor will automatically appear on a 4 - 6-inch TFT LCD monitor (inside the premises), allowing a home owner to safely identify a caller prior to answering the intercom or to communicate - a great piece of equipment for home security.

To communicate with the visitor it’s a case of pressing a talk button on the control panel and than to speak to the guest - often with full two way audio contact.

In addition to an image output on an intercom's monitor, the viewing can be reviewed on a TV, DVR, VCR, or PC or if desired all visitor images recorded. For ease in nighttime viewing some of these cameras come equipped with 5 or 6 infrared LED's for seeing in the dark. Video intercom systems are ideal in homes and business premises in need of an instant up-date in security.

In some cases an option is there to store images (on its built-in memory) of callers, with 32 - 50 often stored, as well as keeping a note of the date and time of a visit - and all dependent on a systems capabilities.

The camera itself, can be encased in a sturdy housing, sometimes steel to ensure that it’s able to withstand variable weather conditions, as well as being vandal proof to some extent.

Installation of the intercom is a simple project, in most cases will accept the existing doorbell wiring, and for a versatile approach, the monitor can lay flat on a counter or be wall-mounted. A video door intercom system with a tiltable camera lens offers a truly flexible approach to installing in the perfect position. Max wiring distance varies greatly with distances of 90 ft to 300 ft often quoted.

A home video intercom system offers a simple solution to seeing who is at the front door without needing to open it, as well as an option to communicate with a visitor before a door is opened.
