Which Home Intercom System Is Right For You?

Choosing the right intercom depends on your property, wiring and security requirements.

Best for Most Homes

Video intercom systems with smartphone connectivity such as Hikvision Smart Video Intercom with Wifi and POe provide the best balance of security, convenience and ease of use. You'll be able to see visitors, communicate remotely and receive alerts directly on your phone.

Best for Existing Intercom Upgrades

If your property already has intercom cabling installed, a 2-wire system  such as the Bticino Classe 100X16E can often be installed using existing wiring, reducing installation costs.

Best for New Builds

IP intercom systems offer the highest video quality, advanced access control integration and future expansion options for larger homes and developments.

Best for Front Gates

Video intercom systems connected to electric gates allow homeowners to identify visitors and grant access remotely.

Best Budget Option

Audio-only intercom systems provide simple communication between entry points and occupants without the additional cost of video.
