Why Do You Need To Have An Intercom System Installed?

An intercom system can be a useful security feature, allowing you to speak directly to visitors before they have been granted access to your premises. That’s a benefit in itself, but it really goes without saying that that’s what an intercom is for. Here are five more advantages of installing an intercom system that might not be so obvious.

Look and listen

Intercom systems are fine as long as you don’t need to see your visitor, right? Well actually, video intercom systems mean that you can both see and hear your visitor before you grant them access to your premises. This means you can check that they are who they say they are, and only let people in if you recognise them, or they are able to display the correct credentials on camera.

Clear communication

You might not have any specific security concerns about letting people on to your site, but is it clearly signposted? Most workplaces are not laid out with the sole purpose of being easy to navigate – and that can leave visitors feeling stranded. An intercom system lets you know when somebody is at the gate so that you can go and meet them – meaning you don’t run the risk of strays wandering around lost.

Bespoke systems

You don’t have to use a cookie-cutter intercom system; there are bespoke systems available that are tailored to your precise needs, whatever they may be. It’s hard to say much more about this without putting limits on the options that are open to you. The fact is, whatever you need from your intercom system (within reason), you should be able to get a set-up that delivers.
