It is fair to say the “ayes have it” in intercoms these days — well, make that the “eyes” provided by adding video and the “I” found in Internet protocol-enabled (IP) devices. These are increasing the visibility and mobility that intercom systems allow residential or commercial end users.
Aaron Heiner, COO of integrator Stone Security, Salt Lake City, says that the company, which always has focused on IP-based systems, found it challenging in the past to find intercom solutions that reside on a network. “But those days seem to have passed and over the last few years we have seen several good IP-based intercom options emerge,” he shares.
