10 Reasons to consider Video Intercoms

Communication involves the connected relationship of several of our senses: the sense of hearing, the sense of sight and seeing, the sense of smell, the sense of taste, and the sense of touch. Our video intercoms elevate this interaction with exceptional video, voice, and powerful audio amplification for clear announcements.

10 Reason for video intercom


We visually see and hear people and we also communicate with them via the other senses. What would happen if you removed two critical senses: the ability to see and hear? How would communications and interactions change? You wouldn’t be able to hear the words that people speak and the noises that surround them.


The Importance of Integrated Audio and Video in Security System

It’s the same with security and safety. The ability to hear, be heard, and be understood in every situation is critical to mitigating risks. The ability to see is essential, as well.

Enabling audio means that security and a response is interactive. Security teams can speak and listen to a person seen on a video surveillance system, no matter the location or how remote. If a person is lost or needs assistance, security can talk to them and provide direction and reassurance.

Even more, in an emergency, an interactive audio solution becomes a critical lifesaving tool. Because it provides data that can be shared between security, police, emergency services, and more.

Audio can also detect voices, noises, breaking glass, or other sounds. A security team could learn names, languages spoken, mood or levels of aggression, and sounds of a security breach such as an alarm.

In addition, audio can capture audio cues such as screams or breaking glass, even when the threat is out of line-of-sight. This provides valuable time to respond and prevent potential threats.

Adding video to an audio intercom takes risk mitigation further. Increasingly, we see the benefits of incorporating an IP intercom solution that not only provides crystal clear audio, but also incorporates HD video in the intercom. The result is even more information and enhanced actionable insight into risks and potential physical breaches.
