Which intercom to choose in a private house?

Intercom is not a luxury thing for a long time, but a necessity to ensure security in a private house. Voice communication with guests is far from the only function that this device can guarantee.  Many modern intercom systems can become a full-fledged part of the "smart home" and security system, controlling the operation of climatic equipment, lighting, and can also notify the owner of an apartment about incidents and visitors with short messages on a smartphone.  Let's consider with you what kind of intercoms are by type and type of attachment, as well as which intercom to choose for a private house.

Intercom groups by type


* Audio intercom is the most affordable solution on the market, they use a wired connection type and provide only audio communication between the visitor and the owner, but there is no way to transmit video.  The audio intercom is simple in terms of installation, but creates inconvenience due to the inability to see the guest.

* Video intercom - the most popular models that support classic communication and broadcast the image from the camera through a dedicated screen.  The key benefit is obvious - you can recognize a visitor by their appearance, which increases security.  But such devices require the use of special outdoor panels with a built-in camera or require the connection of an external camera, which complicates the installation.

* IP intercoms are the most modern models that are connected to the outdoor panel via a LAN connection.  This will provide excellent implementation of additional features, for example, the ability to work with other devices.  They are often used in conjunction with the "smart home" system.

As you can see, it is IP intercoms that can provide maximum security, which offer a whole range of functions aimed at ensuring your safety.

Varieties of intercoms by type of installation

Depending on the type, they are divided into built-in and mounted models.  In built-in models, the enclosure is wall-mounted, and from the outside only the “front side” with control function.  They are much more compact than mounted ones, but also more difficult to install.

Attachments are as simple as possible in terms of hanging on the wall using hooks or other similar devices.  If necessary, such a device can be easily re-hung to another location.


However, which intercom to choose is up to you.  The main thing before buying is to radiate all the characteristics and stop exactly on the one that will come to your liking the most.
