Why Video Intercom Systems Are the Smart Upgrade Your Business Needs
Why Video Intercom Systems Are the Smart Upgrade Your Business Needs
Businesses across every sector are looking for smarter ways to protect their sites and property while maintaining a seamless experience for visitors and staff.
Video intercom systems are growing in popularity, offering real-time visual verification, two-way communication, and remote access control—all in one system.
Whether you manage an office, a school, a clinic, or an apartment building, video intercoms improve access control and help teams manage visitors more conveniently—without adding complexity.
What Are Video Intercom Systems?
Video intercom systems allow you to see and speak with anyone requesting access before allowing them inside. Unlike traditional intercoms or keypads, these systems offer live video feeds, high-quality audio, and integration with your wider access control network.
Modern video intercom solutions from Almas Industries include features like mobile control, visitor logs, and scalable setups to suit businesses of any size.
Key Benefits of Video Intercoms
1. Improved Security
Visually verify visitors and deliveries to reduce the risk of unauthorised access or tailgating incidents.
2. Frictionless Access Control
Handle visitor or contractor access without disrupting your team’s workflow, whether on-site or working remotely.
3. Staff Efficiency
Answer intercom calls from a reception desk, office, or smartphone—eliminating the need for staff to physically go to entry points.
4. Seamless Integration
Video intercoms can integrate directly with your existing access control system, creating a connected and centralised solution.
5. Audit Trails for Accountability
Automatically generate access logs to track who entered your site and when—ideal for compliance, reviews, or incident investigation.
Where Video Intercom Systems Make the Most Impact
- Schools & Nurseries: Secure perimeters and control who enters the building during teaching hours.
- Healthcare Facilities: Manage patient, visitor, and staff access to ensure safety and confidentiality.
- Office Buildings: Welcome clients and service providers while keeping security tight.
- Apartment Complexes: Provide secure, convenient entry for residents and authorised visitors.
In environments with high visitor flow—such as schools, corporate offices, or healthcare settings—a dedicated visitor management solution like InVentry may offer even greater control and efficiency.
Integrating Intercoms into a Wider Security Solution
While video intercoms offer a useful first layer of access control, they are most effective when part of a broader security strategy.
Integration with CCTV, intruder alarms, access control systems and visitor management software ensures a more robust, future-proofed solution.
