Trusted and cost effective, intercoms have long been a mainstay in the entry control space. They are recognized as one of the first tried and true technologies to manage access into controlled areas. Today, they continue to be successfully deployed in environments such as multitenant facilities, educational institutions, health care campuses and corporate offices, to name a few.

On their own, intercoms are a powerful security tool. The technologies within intercoms enable facilities to screen people before permitting entry to a secure area. Two-way audio allows security staff or front desk personnel to communicate with a visitor, while an intercom equipped with an IP camera enables visual verification.
