Video Door Phones and Intercoms: Choosing the Right System

Analog vs IP

Analog intercoms are simple but limited. IP systems add video, mobile app call-forwarding, integration with access control and central management.

Key features to compare

  • Video quality and night vision
  • Mobile app call forwarding
  • Guard-desk and lobby panel integration
  • Door release and access logs
  • Network security and firmware updates

Network design

Place intercoms on a separate VLAN with PoE switches and backup power so they work during outages.

Maintenance

Plan an AMC covering firmware updates, app support and hardware replacement.
