Intercoms - efficient communication in your home and business

What are intercoms?

Intercoms are devices dedicated to single-family houses, multi-family houses, office buildings, commercial, service buildings that allow efficient and trouble-free communication between guests waiting in front of the door and household members, employees. At the same time they increase security, preventing the intrusion of unwanted people into the property, (object).

Types of intercoms

There are two main types of intercoms - analog intercoms and digital intercoms. The main criterion for division here is the technology used in the construction of the intercom.

Analog intercoms are the technologically older type of intercoms, although this does not mean that they are inferior; on the contrary, they often prove to be completely sufficient. Analog intercoms are great for single-family homes - in which case one doorphone and one or two uniphones are provided for them (remember that a larger number of installed uniphones adversely affects sound quality). Installation of an analog intercom requires a cable connecting its various parts.

Much more modern and technologically advanced are digital intercoms. Each digital intercom is equipped with a digital control panel with decoders, which operates on the same principle as the door cassettes in analog intercoms. The device is equipped with a numeric keypad that allows you to open the gate or gate by entering the appropriate code. The digital intercom additionally allows you to set the entry time, as well as the length of the ringing or conversation. A major advantage of digital intercoms is the high quality of connections. In addition, digital intercom systems allow for lossless (in terms of sound quality) connection of a larger number of uniphones. Because of this factor, digital intercoms are used more often in multi-family houses and apartment blocks.

Advantages of intercoms

If you are wondering why it is worth betting on a modern intercom, pay attention to the advantages arising primarily from the functionality of such devices. These include:

• simple installation - devices such as intercoms use the existing LAN and PoE power supply, so they do not require additional cable routes,
• easy and fast intercom configuration - access via network infrastructure greatly simplifies the configuration of multiple digital intercoms at once,
• remote management - specially prepared applications and web interfaces make it possible to configure intercoms without the need to visit the customer,
• solid workmanship - the intercoms in the offer of en.ivel.pl are products made of durable materials, resistant to wear and changeable weather conditions.

How to choose an intercom?

When buying the ideal intercom, it is worth paying attention to several factors, depending on our expectations and housing conditions (large house, small or apartment).

Intercoms available in the offer of en.ivel.pl are both classic devices with a handset, as well as more advanced hands-free variants, which will certainly be appreciated, for example, by the elderly and hearing impaired. Therefore, when buying, it is worth paying attention to the option of volume control, which is a key factor for the elderly or hearing impaired. Intercoms with extensive volume control allow visitors to be identified by voice or conversation. Such intercoms are a great alternative to worn-out standard uniphones in blocks of flats and multi-family buildings.

An important feature of a functional intercom is also the presence of a canopy at the external module, which will adequately protect the device from rain and moisture. Then we do not have to worry that bad weather, frost or precipitation will damage our equipment.

Two-family intercoms are also an interesting alternative, which allow not only to control the gate or entrance gate, but also to carry out conversations between two independent apartments. Such a solution will work great for families or friends living next door.

A great solution dedicated to those who are looking for equipment for a single-family home or a corporate facility is a wireless intercom. When selecting equipment, however, take into account its range, as this parameter determines how far from the handset the external cassette can be located. In the offer of our store you will find models of intercoms with different technical parameters.

When choosing an intercom for yourself, you can also take into account a less obvious criterion, which is the design of the intercom. This parameter is particularly important in the case of, for example, a major renovation - then it is worth replacing the intercom with a more modern, functional and stylish model. Depending on the color and type of arrangement, you can also choose the right color of the device, and more importantly - we can connect the intercom with existing wires and mount it on the wall thanks to special universal holes in the housing.

How to connect the intercom at the entrance?

We start connecting the intercom by making a suitable trench - from the house to the wicket - and then placing the electrical cable in it. In the next step, we install the door intercom cassette. A surface-mounted cassette is installed with dowels, while a flush-mounted cassette must be placed in a wall or post. To do this, we create an appropriately sized hole in the structure, for example, using a chisel. Then, for example, using cement mortar, we place the cassette in it and make a groove for the cable, which in the next step we connect to the cassette.

How to connect the intercom at home?

We connect the intercom handset at home in virtually the same way as the cassette. Note that the power supply of the intercom can be done in two ways. In the case of an uniphone equipped with a transformer, it is enough to connect the device directly to a socket. We can also connect the intercom by placing the transformer outside the uniphone - then we connect it directly to the 230 V installation.

How to connect an intercom in a block of flats?

Connecting an intercom in a block of flats is a slightly more complicated process - it is best to hire an authorized professional for this kind of work. All because an intercom for use in a block of apartments has special systems that connect to multiple apartments, and the scheme is quite different from intercoms designed for single-family houses. What's more, the rent usually includes a fee for the maintenance of the home installation; so since you incur fixed costs of this kind it's better not to take risks and rely on a specialist to avoid stress and further costs.

If you care about convenience and increased security, an intercom is a solution to meet your needs and expectations. Modern and reliable, will meet the expectations of even the most demanding customers.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the offer, and if necessary - we provide professional advice.
