Door intercom

Do you know that? The doorbell rings and you would like to know who is outside without opening the door. Not every visitor is welcome or allowed to enter a building without being asked. There are door intercom sets or intercom systems for this. These devices offer the convenience of first communicating with visitors and only then deciding whether or not to allow a person entry.

Here in the eibabo® online shop you can get door intercom sets for detached houses, apartment buildings and building complexes. Depending on the model, these only transmit audio signals or are equipped with cameras and screens. The respective outdoor stations are always weatherproof and withstand rain, wind and sun. Lighting or separate nameplates are sometimes available. You can contact the people outside via the associated indoor stations. The cameras in many sets transmit in color and also reproduce a good picture at night or in poor lighting. Depending on the model, numerous additional functions and integration into building automation are possible.

How does a door intercom set work?

The basic function of a door intercom system is simply explained. Such a system usually consists of an outdoor station with one or more buttons. The number of buttons depends on the number of participants. An individual indoor station is assigned to each button. These can be different residential units, but also departments, floors or direct contact persons (e.g. security personnel). This enables communication with each participant from the outside. If the participant in the building responds to the ringing, the people can talk to each other and, depending on the model, also see each other.

What options does a door intercom set offer?

As a rule, the possibilities of a door intercom set go beyond the simple basic functions mentioned. A door intercom set can offer the possibility of opening doors. This function is normally set up with a cable via the indoor station. If the set has a camera, the intercom can be configured to record and save videos or images at the entrance. This is particularly useful when there are potential security breaches or post-incident evaluations that need to be made.

Notice

In many countries, the handling of personal data is strictly regulated. Please consider the regulations applicable in your country when storing recordings of your visitors.


Door intercom sets with video make it easier for participants to manage access. Messengers, deliverers, colleagues, friends, family or representatives are better recognized than through pure audio communication. It can also be seen whether other people want to enter the building. Modern systems are equipped with functions for mobile remote control. This means that a participant does not have to be on the property to grant access. A smartphone app makes it possible to respond to bells and unlock the doors remotely. This means that deliveries can be deposited or other services can be carried out without the participant having to be present.

Classic application examples for door intercom sets are:

  • Detached houses with the bell on a distant property line
  • Office building with several departments / floors and a large number of employees to individually control visitor access
  • Apartment buildings in which individual residents manage their own visitor access via an apartment intercom
  • Buildings with a central control point for visitor access (concierge, reception, facilities manager or security service)
  • Buildings with more than one entrance to be controlled and several participants with their own visitor management

Is a door intercom set with a camera always better than one without a camera?

At this point, we don't want to rate whether a specific door intercom set is better or worse. It is usually a question of the requirements and the area of application. Audio-based door intercom sets are recommended if the security requirements and the need for additional functions are manageable. These models offer a certain level of comfort at reasonable prices. However, modern security concepts almost always require video surveillance. Here we differentiate between one-way systems and two-way systems.

  • With one-way systems, the participant can see an image of the visitor. The visitor cannot see the participant.
  • Two-way systems allow participants and visitors to see each other.

 

The technology keeps getting better and cheaper, which gives you a number of advantages when buying a video-based system. However, the possibilities for using these advantages also depend on the type and complexity of the system and on the integration into the building management system. These facilities offer:

More safety

The participants responsible for access control can visually and verbally verify the identity of a visitor. The recording and storage of video data can deter unauthorized persons.

remote access

A smartphone and an internet connection are enough to manage the access control. Personal presence is not required.

ease of access

Authorized visitors gain access via biometric identifiers. It is not necessary to carry keys, cards or codes.

Integration with external systems

Video intercoms can be linked to other systems. These include security devices and monitoring systems as well as systems for delivery management, visitor management and building management. This reduces redundancies, improves efficiency and lowers costs.

How is the power supply for a door intercom set to be provided?

Door intercom sets require a power supply. Be it for the button, the camera, the indoor station or the mechanism for opening the door. Depending on the model, the power source can be the building's normal power supply or Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) if the system is connected to a network. The number of participants and the type of power source can greatly affect the cost of installing a door intercom set.

 


TIP:

We recommend an emergency power supply for PoE systems. This ensures that the access and the bell work even if the Internet service is interrupted.


 

In the eibabo® shop you can get emergency power supplies for integration into your building management at top conditions.

What are the advantages of wireless door intercom sets?

Hardwired door intercom sets require wired connections to each participant. Depending on the number of participants and the size of the building, this can cause considerable costs. You can solve this problem with a wireless door intercom set. This reduces the installation costs. On the other hand, the system must have the required bandwidth and range to be able to reliably reach every participant. In difficult environments, the use of range amplifiers is recommended. If the number of participants is expected to increase, a system should be scalable. A wired system can only be expanded by adding more wiring. With a wireless door intercom set, the number of participants can be adjusted more easily.
