"I can see who's at my front door from inside my house. Why would I need a video intercom system?"
It's a valid question, but it betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the difference between video communication and a standard doorbell. The former allows for clear, simple communication as well as instantaneous calls for help in emergencies. The latter does not.
Section topic: how does video intercom systems work
Video intercom systems are a great way to keep an eye on your front door from anywhere in your house, but why would you want to? There are a lot of reasons for it. For one thing, it means you can give guests a real-time heads up about when to expect you to answer the door instead of just making them wait outside. It also means that if your front door is approached by someone who's not supposed to be there (say a salesperson or someone lost), you can see that person from wherever you are in the house and decide how much time they'll have to wait until they get a response.
I love video intercoms. It's so much better than answering the door when you're in the middle of something. I always want to watch a few seconds of what's going on outside before I open the door and let the cold air in. Video intercom systems are also great for preventing identity theft. You can see who's at your door before you answer it, which is especially important when you can't remember if you gave out your address to every stranger at the bus stop. A video intercom system is also a great way to keep track of who is coming and going from your home while you're away. Finally, it's just really fun to use. You look like a futuristic James Bond or something!
Having a home security system isn't just about protecting your valuables and possessions. A home security system can do much more than that. It can help you to stay safe as well. That's why it's important to have a home security system installed in your home. This article will cover some of the benefits of a video intercom system for the home.
The last thing you want to think about when you're away from home is whether your place is secure. When you're at work, or out with friends or running errands, the last thing you should be worrying about is whether your doors are locked and your windows are secure. While no system can ensure complete security, a video intercom system for the home can provide increased peace of mind for a relatively small investment.
A video intercom system is often more reliable than a traditional doorbell. Instead of the sound-only doorbells that only let the recipient hear who's at the door, an intercom allows you to see whose outside as well. This gives you more information so you can decide how to respond to potential difficulties like strangers, salespeople and solicitors—you can also talk to them as needed so they don't feel as though they've been sent on a "fishing expedition" by ringing your doorbell repeatedly and not getting a response.
Video intercom systems are particularly useful in situations where someone needs access to your home beyond the typical neighborly exchange. For example, if you have trades people working on various projects around the house when you're not there, having an intercom system is much easier than having them stand around, without the ability to ask you questions. So as an introduction to Video Intercom Systems, they are needed for both peace of mind and a helpful second pair of eyes to watch over things at home, while you are not there. A video Intercom System will not replace a person being at home, but it a very helpful technology to use while you are unable to be at home.
