Market Definition

An intercom system is an advanced type of door entry system with a camera for managing access to a building. Like other types of intercom systems, a video door intercom with a camera also supports communication between visitors and occupants. Rather than relying on just voice, occupants can view live or recorded images from a door entry reader equipped with a camera to verify a visitor's identity before granting access.

Intercom technology supports many other advanced features to strengthen access control security and improve convenience for occupants and visitors. Features such as remote unlocking, cloud-based management, integration with building management systems, artificial intelligence, and facial recognition technologies are giving businesses and property managers greater efficiency and flexibility in managing property access.
