Most residential communities have an analogue intercom installed 15-20 years ago that works "more or less". The problem arises when you need to add a new entrance, integrate the garage and common areas, or when residents want to answer the door from their phone. The analogue system simply cannot scale without major works.
Key practical advantages of IP intercom
📱Answer from smartphone
Residents can see who is calling, speak and open the door from their phone even when they are not at home. Ideal for receiving parcels, maintenance visits or for holiday homes.
🔑Integrated access control
The system integrates with RFID card readers, PIN codes or NFC keys for garage and common areas. A single system manages all building access with full entry and exit logging.
📋Access log
Every opening is recorded: who opened it, from where (monitor, app, key fob) and at what time. Useful for incident management and community meeting reporting.
