4 Reasons Why You Need an Intercom System

A simple tool once used for simple two-way communication, intercom systems have developed into highly advanced security systems. But are these systems worth the investment? This article will explain the importance of using an intercom system in your home and why the system is worth the investment. The Importance of Using an Intercom System Effective Screening of Visitors One of the most significant advantages of an intercom system is that it can help you screen and confirm the identity of your visitors more effectively and easily. The intercom system allows you to speak with, and sometimes view, the person at your front door, allowing you to know and see who you are and who you aren’t letting into your home. Best of all, modern intercoms allow you to do all this and more from just the touch of your smartphone screen, thanks to remote accessibility. This improves the security of your home and helps you avoid opening your door to burglars or other unwanted people. Increased Convenience As mentioned above, thanks to remote accessibility features, you can control your intercom and front door through your smartphone, tablet, or any other smart device. This means you can talk with, view in real-time, and open the door for any visitor at your front door from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. The intercom system will connect to your smart device through an application and grant you the ability to control your front door with just the touch of a few buttons on your smart device’s screen. Deter Crime In addition to increased convenience, intercom systems are also excellent for enhancing the security of your home, especially the front door. The ability to converse with, view, and screen your visitors in real-time and from anywhere in the world means you have a greater likelihood of detecting when a burglar is trying to break into your home or when someone at your front door is forging their identity to trick you into letting them in. You can also catch them in the act by recording the video footage on your smart device. This makes breaking into your home a high-risk job, regardless of whether or not you’re at home, and as such can be very discouraging for burglars, especially the amateur and inexperienced ones. All in all, intercom systems can help deter crime, and this in and of itself is reason enough to invest in these systems. Increased Property Value Having an intercom system in place radiates the energy of a safe and secure home, more so than a home without an intercom system. This perception of increased security of your property can potentially help drive up the market value of your property since people are willing to pay more for extra safety.
