Choosing

Four questions

Audio or videoAn audio intercom lets you hear the visitor, a video intercom lets you see them too. Video is more reassuring: you see who is at the door.
With calls to your phone or withoutAn IP intercom can forward the call to a phone: you answer the visitor and open the door even when you are not at home.
One door or many flatsA flat or a house needs a panel with one button. A building entrance or an office block needs a multi-tenant panel.
Which lock is on the doorAn intercom opens an electromagnetic or electromechanical lock. It is chosen to suit the door or the gate.
An outdoor panelA call panel for outdoors must be protected from rain and dust, and its camera must see in the dark.
