Description
In an apartment tower or building, an intercom lets visitors call the apartment they are looking for from the entrance, lets the resident see or hear who it is, and lets them open the lobby door from upstairs. It is the foundation for controlling who enters the building without relying on a doorman around the clock.
The system has an entrance panel, with buttons for each apartment or a keypad with a directory, and a monitor or handset in each unit. It can be audio or video, and it can also connect to the guardhouse or the concierge desk so staff can take calls. In towers under construction we plan the conduit in advance; in existing buildings we check the wiring and decide whether a two-wire system or an IP system, which reduces new cabling, makes more sense.
To keep the system working when the power goes out, we recommend connecting the intercom power supply and the door lock to the building's backup generator or to a UPS. The entrance panel needs to be rugged, since it gets the most use and abuse.

Frequently asked questions
Can the old intercom be replaced without opening up walls?
Often yes, by reusing the existing wiring with a two-wire system or by using IP equipment. We determine this during the survey.
Can residents answer from their phones?
With a compatible IP system, yes. In traditional systems the call goes to the monitor or handset in the apartment.
