Why You Need An Intercom System For Your Home.

In the past, we would associate intercom systems with hotels and apartment complexes. Today, they're an essential part of residential homes.

From safety to convenience, intercom speakers boast a broad range of benefits for homeowners. Today's intercoms are affordable and easy to install, making them an accessible option even for budget-conscious buyers. At On Guard Security & Communications we have you covered.

1. Give your Home a Security Boost.

Regardless of where you live, home invasions and thefts can happen anywhere, anytime. It's a scary reality but by taking the proper precautions, you can keep your home, your family, and your belongings safe

A fully-fledged intercom system will give you total control over your house and its surroundings. With a day-in, day-out view of your property, it's like you're always home.

2. Integrate Smart Features into Your System

You may have heard about smart security systems.. These innovative gadgets can help you stay connected at any time, anywhere, giving your property around-the-clock protection.

By combining your home intercom with an automated smart device, you can receive updates directly to your phone whenever somebody approaches your property. You can vet whether the person is friend or foe--and speak to them through the intercommunication system whether you're lounging on the couch, soaking up the sun in your garden, or out shopping. 

3. Simplify Communication

Intercoms can do more than give your home a security boost. These handy devices can also make life easier for you and your family, especially if you live in a larger home.

Have you ever needed to tell your spouse something urgent, but they're upstairs, and you're down? There's no need to yell! With a home intercom system, you can easily communicate with anyone in your home, even if they're on the opposite side of the house.

4. There Are Options for Everyone

Not all home intercom systems are built the same. Depending on your budget and your needs, you'll want to pick the right type of system to suit your home.

Some common types of intercom system include:

- Audio intercoms
- Video intercoms
- Audiovisual intercoms
- IP (internet-connected) intercoms
- Access control intercoms

A simple audio intercom may be suitable if you're keen to improve communication within and around your home. On the other hand, a video or audiovisual intercom may be the better choice if home security is your main concern.

To truly ramp up your security system, consider installing an intercom with access control capabilities. These modern systems feature an electronic latch that connects to a gate or door, giving you total control over who can pass through. By connecting your access control system with an IP or internet-connected device, you'll enjoy the convenience of monitoring your entranceways via a handy phone app.
