12 best intercoms and video intercoms according to customer reviews

When choosing an intercom or video intercom, it is necessary first of all to determine the intended use - whether it will be used only as a means of communication and security, or it will be included in the home security system. The functionality of the device depends on it.

What to look for when choosing a doorphone or video intercom

When choosing an intercom, you should pay attention to the following characteristics of the device:

1. Connection type - wired or wireless. The first option is better for installation in apartments. It allows you to do without drilling the cable channels in the walls - just install two modules, a receiver and a transmitter. But their range is limited. For private houses it is better to use wired intercoms, which provide a stable connection between the internal and external modules, regardless of the weather;

2. Communication type - voice or video intercom. The first option provides the most basic protection against unauthorized entry. The second is more reliable: you can not only hear, but also see the visitor. This is necessary if couriers, delivery men and similar specialists often call the home or office;

3. Availability of GSM module. Allows you to track visitors, even if the owners are not at home (or in the office). In some cases it may well be useful;

4. Recording and motion detection. These two functions turn the intercom into a full security system. Allow visitors to track, even if the owner is not at home - and carefully consider their intentions;

5. Type - private or multi-unit. The first is designed to protect a single dwelling. The second is for the organization of pass control in an apartment building.

It is worth considering that apartment intercoms are usually set by representatives of management companies or other organizations that monitor the condition of the house.
