When planning your business’s communications technology and commercial security solutions, consider adding an intercom. This device allows communication between multiple locations in the building using a closed system that doesn’t depend on a phone or internet connection. Here’s why you should choose this technology for your business.

Why Install an Intercom?

1. Commercial Security & Access Control

One common place for intercoms is at locked doors. This allows those inside to communicate with those outside before letting them in. This improves commercial security because visitors have to request access to the building.

Also, employees have to be approved to enter sensitive areas. Door intercoms are especially effective when combined with a surveillance camera and a remote entry lock system. You can also use a digital keypad to allow more convenient access for authorized individuals.

2. Quick Private Calls

Intercom systems also allow communication while seated at your desk. The system can be equipped with buttons for multiple locations throughout your building. You can reach employees or colleagues quickly without having to dial or navigate an electronic answering system, allowing you to have faster, more efficient conversations.

3. Broadcasting Options

You can also set up your intercom to connect to a PA system. This allows for building-wide announcements and is one of the fastest ways to spread news. This is useful for updates and emergencies in which you need to reach everyone as quickly as possible.
