(ThyBlackMan.com) Security, communication, and convenience are all areas that intercom systems help to solve, and these concerns are just as important in the home or office as they are in the warehouse. They’ve progressed through the ages alongside the “leapfrog” innovation of technologies that have made our homes and communities safer and more comfortable.
The shift from analog to digital IP systems
There has been a dramatic shift away from analog and toward IP in the intercom industry. Audio and video quality on older analog systems is not great, and they have few features. In other words, you can’t manage them from your phone or connect them to a network. IP-based intercoms are increasingly being recommended by manufacturers and installers despite the lower cost of analog systems because of their superior functionality. This includes enhanced image quality, mobile control, remote operation, and a host of smart features.
The IP intercom market is anticipated to expand rapidly in the next years, reports Allied Market Research1. In 2020, the worldwide IP Intercom market was worth $2.2 billion, and it is expected to be worth $4.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.5% between 2021 and 2030.
IP intercoms give a new level of convenience
1. Mobile Control
IP intercoms give homeowners the freedom to take control of their homes from virtually anywhere with just the push of a button. When people aren’t at home, they typically still receive calls about package deliveries or other services on their mobile phones. On the other hand, IP intercoms enable users to remotely grant access to individuals who require it using a straightforward mobile application. Giving away passwords or key cards manually is less secure and more inconvenient.
2. User-friendly Interfaces
IP intercoms typically include a screen that is easy to use and navigate, with features such as a clear interface, simple touch interaction, intuitive operation, and the presentation of a variety of useful data (e.g., weather, news, announcements, etc.). Due to their similarity to mobile phones in operation, these features make IP intercoms an ideal tool for familiarising today’s consumers with the technology.
3. High-quality Images:
IP intercoms offer superior imagery with greater resolutions and a larger field of vision than purely analog alternatives. The combination of Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and night vision enables users to see clearly in a variety of lighting circumstances, from bright daylight to low-light settings and back again.
The picture quality of IP intercoms is superior, with greater resolutions and a broader field of vision.
4. Smart Authentication
IP intercoms have smart authentication since they allow for a variety of access methods, such as ID cards, PIN codes, and even biometric identification. IP intercoms, which are following the current fad for contactless solutions, also make it easier to open doors without having to worry about spreading germs.
5. All-in-one Management
IP intercoms provide for unified control of many security systems by connecting to things like cameras and alarms. Businesses and homeowners can feel more secure thanks to a centralized control center that provides seamless integration of all security systems and devices and makes them easier to use and administer.
