IP Intercoms: How the Internet Revolutionised Communication

IP intercoms are communication systems that use internet technology to send audio and video signals over a network. Unlike older intercoms, which needed dedicated wires, IP intercoms work with a building's existing network, usually using Ethernet cables.

Key Features 

IP Intercoms have several key advantages:

• Network-based: They use digital networks to send audio and video, allowing communication across the network.
• PoE: Many can be powered through the Ethernet cable, simplifying installation.
• Remote Access: Control and monitoring are possible from anywhere using devices like smartphones.
• High-Quality: They often provide excellent audio and video due to the network's capacity.
• Integration: They can work seamlessly with other security and smart home systems.
• Scalability: Easily expand the system by adding more devices to the network.
• Long-Distance Communication: Network operation allows for communication over longer distances compared to traditional wired systems.

In essence, IP intercoms offer enhanced communication capabilities, greater flexibility in system design, remote access convenience, and seamless integration with today's internet-connected technologies.

Below are some examples of IP Intercoms from various manufacturers:
