Audio intercoms

With audio intercom systems, users can communicate using their voices from different rooms in a large structure, such as an office complex or an apartment building. There are two types of audio intercoms: external and internal. External audio intercom systems allow residents or employees to screen their visitors prior to entry. With the internal audio intercom systems users can communicate between rooms or facilitate announcements and other quick dialogs in the workplace.

D.C. Intercom offers audio intercom systems in a variety of attractive and sturdy styles for both external and internal use. Some models include handsets, while others allow for convenient hands-free use.

 

Phone entry intercom systems

Phone entry intercom systems offer many advantages, including the bonus of familiarity. Easy to operate, phone entry systems provide a user interface that visitors are accustomed to. A phone entry system is a smart choice for businesses and residential complexes that cater to conservative residents. The ease and clarity of sound in a phone entry system provides a no-fuss way to answer the question of who is visiting, which makes them valuable for security in many settings.

Another advantage of phone entry systems is reliability, because this intercom system connects directly to the phone lines in a building, thus eliminating the frustrations of communication via cell phone and other networks beside traditional phone lines. These modern networks can be very volatile, since they are subject to more interruptions than traditional phone service. That is why sometimes it seems as if the slightest change in weather can knock out these networks. This makes phone entry systems, which connect to more reliable phone lines, an attractive option for building managers who want an intercom system guaranteed to work every time.

In addition, phone entry intercom systems offer a lower cost than other systems like video intercoms. Because phone entry systems connect to the phone lines in a building already, installation costs are lower than for IP systems. On top of all this, phone entry intercom systems offer privacy, as the dialed phone number remains hidden to the visitor making the call.

Expect ease of use, reliability and low costs with this classic type of screening system. The advantages of phone entry systems make them an enduring favorite for peace of mind in the modern urban environment.

Audio/Video intercoms

Like audio intercom systems, audio/video intercoms may be installed outside or inside a home or place of business. Many people use an intercom system as just a way to boost communication, but a video intercom system offers massive security benefits as well. In addition to clear sound, video/audio intercoms offer clear images, made possible by an audio and video transmitter and receiver in a single cabinet.

The main security advantage that a video intercom system provides is that you can view the camera feed and communicate with visitors before opening the door. You can do this remotely with a tablet or smartphone app (iPhone/Android), even if you’re out of the country.

The recording capability allows you to capture photos of anyone approaching or ringing the doorbell. You will have recorded video of all activity going on at the entrance(s). All missed visitors are recorded with a timestamped image, allowing you to see who you missed.

In addition, this video intercom system is compatible with integration with a key fob, keycard or keypad. Moreover, you can connect multiple entrances to the same video intercom system, thus reducing the number of security personnel needed to monitor each one.

D.C. Intercom offers video/audio intercom systems with innovative features such as color imagery; video memory; and pan, angle and zoom views. We provide intercom system installation or upgrades, and video intercom repair service to both residential and commercial customers, customizing our intercom systems to meet your requirements. Our customers’ satisfaction is our mission.

Multi-tenant telephone entry intercom systems

Most intercom systems used in larger, multi-tenant residential buildings implement a central device allowing a person to receive messages or calls from other intercoms placed strategically throughout the facility for optimal security. Multi-tenant telephone entry systems connect directly to the resident phone lines in a building. Residents can be called without making a call to the central office, which bypasses the expense of telephone charges. Phone entry intercom systems offer lower costs, convenience and privacy, as the dialed phone number is hidden.

D. C. Intercom offers intercom systems for multi-tenant residential buildings in NYC capable of covering hundreds of tenants and several entrances per building. Additionally, this system unlocks doors, is ADA compliant, and effectively protects a variety of tenant-based facilities like dormitories, condos and high-rise complexes.
