Should You Have a Gate Intercom?

Should You Have a Gate Intercom?

Intercoms are the first line of verbal defense. We weigh the benefits of audio versus video systems and why communication is key to any robust access control solution.

A gate intercom gives you the ability to verify who is at your entrance before granting access, providing an invaluable layer of security for any residential or commercial property. Audio intercoms are affordable and simple, allowing two-way communication so you can confirm a visitor's identity. Video intercoms add a visual confirmation, removing ambiguity when you don't recognise the voice. For properties that receive frequent deliveries or visitors, a video solution with remote access via smartphone is ideal. Paired with a Gatekeeper unit, you can grant or deny access from anywhere in the world. The intercom tells you who is there, and Gatekeeper lets you act on that information instantly.
