At one point, intercom systems were only used in schools to make the daily announcements and summon teachers down to the office. The majority of people heard something announced over an intercom every day throughout school and never really thought anything of it.

The reality is that there are many more ways to use an intercom than how it is used in a school setting. For the purposes of this story, we will be discussing many topics about using one in your house. They can add convenience, security, and sometimes even neat features (such as letting you to play music from a central location to anywhere throughout your house). Today, intercoms are used in many houses for various simple tasks. They can be used as a doorbell, an intercom at a gate to talk to visitors, and they can even be used to call everyone in the house downstairs when supper is ready!

There are many different types of home intercom systems that can add functionality to your house. For example, when most people think of intercoms, they imagine a unit built into the wall with a button to connect to another room so they can communicate (Boring!). While this is one valid (and often very useful) functionality, there are also wireless intercoms that can be taken anywhere, even outside the house! Intercom systems like these don't even need to be connected to a wall charger to work.

Another type of system that you should think about is a video intercom. A video intercom system can be added to a door intercom so that the user can both see and hear the person who is at their front door. It can even be used throughout the hometo add to an already existing home security system. Imagine standing in your den (or any room for that matter) and being able to see what is going on in every room of your home!

Intercoms are used in a wide variety of areas these days. Apartment complexes use them as a doorbell system for each unit. They even allow the tenant to unlock the door from a remote location (i.e. their individual apartments). Most office phones now have something similar to an intercom; simply press a button and you're instantly talking to your colleague across the office.

There are many options to select from with home intercom systems, and many different ways to install and utilize them. When deciding how to implement one in your own house, you have to think about many things. You need to think about your personal needs. The way in which you intend on using your intercom will assist you in figuring out what you want. For instance, if you would like to talk with everyone in your homeat all times, regardless of where you are, a more flexible wireless intercom system might be a good fit. However, if you simply want a doorbell that will allow you to talk to your guests, it would make much more sense to have an in-wall unit installed in your home.

There is a lot to think about with home intercom systems, but hopefully this article has helped you figure out what you need!
