Intercom systems are a good security measure for nearly any commercial business, and they are especially necessary for schools, hospitals and government buildings. Take a look at how an intercom system can benefit your organization and keep your building safe from intruders.

Deter Crime

Intercom systems can deter potential illegal activity by alerting intruders that they must identify themselves before entering your building. Additionally, your building will always be protected from potential vandals and thieves who may have the intention of committing a crime in the future.

Identify Restricted Access Points

Intercoms are a good way to identify access points of your building that are restricted. Many organizations use them as a way for visitors to announce their presence and request to meet with someone specific. They may also be implemented into elevators, which will stay grounded until special permission is given to those identifying themselves.

Restrict Access Inside or Outside

One advantage to using an intercom system is that it’s versatile. If you don’t want to restrict access on the outside of your building, you may use intercoms to block off certain indoor wings or sections instead.

Video Integration

ACS can integrate video surveillance technology into your intercom system to heighten security measures and allow you to feel more at ease. Anyone who enters your business will be under video recording in the event you need to review footage, which is stored in data form.

Almost all business can and should utilize intercom systems, whether they’re installed inside, outside or both.
