Are you used to the magnetic key and erasable buttons?But modern intercoms look and work completely differently. Let's be surprised together A modern intercom is a whole set of intelligent functions that can make a person's life more convenient and safer. And every year, the technology of access control to the building becomes more complex and improved. What functions of intercoms are already capable of striking the imagination and effectively protecting a home or office? 1. Vandalism resistance Manufacturers leading in the intercom system market pay great attention not only to the design of intercoms, but also to the strength of the materials from which they are made. Panels made of durable metal, recessed into the wall surface, are equipped with vandal-proof cameras so that in case of danger the owner of the house can have a full overview of the situation.2.Keyless access A modern home defender does not rely on such an unreliable and obsolete thing as a metal key. The most advanced access control option, known to us from spy movies, is fingerprint identification. And the key itself has undergone evolutionary changes and turned into a small contactless card with a code: if the card is lost, the code can be cancelled and replaced with a new one.3.Protected mailbox New generation mailboxes also do not need the old key: access control by electronic card or biometrics will protect mail. And there is no need to waste time checking an empty box: modern intercoms with built-in mailboxes are equipped with a notification system and mail delivery indication.4.Connecting to a gadget The ability of a modern intercom to integrate into a common system no longer surprises the sophisticated consumer. But receiving a call and seeing a guest standing behind the door on the screen or “smart” ones is an opportunity that few manufacturers offer. And this is extremely convenient when visitors are already standing at the threshold, but you cannot quickly approach and open the door.5.Special Features It is no secret that people using hearing aids have a hard time answering the intercom. Not all equipment manufacturers remember this. And yet, you can find models of devices on the market that are equipped with a hearing aid-compatible tube using an induction coil. This allows a hearing-impaired person to listen to visitors directly through their hearing aid.In the photo: Siedle intercoms, presented in Russia by Jung.
