Choosing a Wired or Wireless Video Intercom System
When considering the purchase of a video intercom system, it's important to understand the variety of technologies available, as well as their distinct applications. For single-family residences, for instance, a common scenario is the use of a drive-up gate for a fenced property. In such cases, it's advisable to choose an intercom designed for pedestal mounting, which allows for convenient access from vehicles. These models typically feature a horizontal design with mounting patterns specifically suited for poles.
On the other hand, vertical models are ideal for wall mounting near entrance doors. While either type can be installed in various locations, using a vertical intercom at a driveway gate may require additional modifications, such as adding a panel or hood to accommodate different hole patterns. Additionally, while these commercial intercom systems can be used in business settings, they are not designed for multi-tenant buildings, as they lack the necessary buttons for individual recipients.
If you are looking for an intercom solution for an apartment building or a commercial property with multiple tenants, we recommend visiting our apartment intercoms page. Not all technologies listed below are suitable for multi-tenant applications, as specific requirements must be met. Both vertical and horizontal models are available, and the same installation considerations apply. It's also essential to note that multi-tenant video intercoms will require either an Internet connection or access to cellular service for optimal functionality.
