Frequently Asked Questions
The most frequently asked question for almost any type of security system is about wired vs. wireless solutions. There are pros and cons to each, so it’s up to you to decide which is best for your unique needs.
Typically, wireless solutions are simpler to install and manage. They have fewer parts (no wires) and can be installed in just about any building. Since they use radio waves to communicate, the distance between speakers can cause connectivity issues. Wireless systems are best for small properties that need a simple intercom solution.
Wired solutions are considered more reliable and secure, especially over long distances. If you need an intercom system for a large building, multiple buildings, or on an exterior gate, a wired system will give you unmatched reliability over vast distances.
There are a wide variety of intercom systems on the market, so providing a blanket cost estimate for every property is impossible. The cost of installing an intercom system will depend on three things:
-
Equipment – The cost of the physical equipment like the intercom speakers themselves. Typically, the more high-tech and feature-laden your intercom system is, the more expensive it’ll be. The number of intercom units will also affect the price.
-
Installation – Hiring a professional to install your intercom system is always a good idea. The factor that will impact installation costs the most will be whether you choose a wired or wireless system. Wired systems need to be hardwired into your property, which requires a lot more work—and money.
-
Maintenance – This is the cost of keeping your system running. Some intercom systems come with a monthly subscription fee for cloud, monitoring, or connectivity services. Wireless systems will also need battery changes occasionally.
Everyone knows that intercom systems allow people to talk between rooms with the push of a button, but what else can they do? If you want to make the most of your intercom system, choose features that fit your needs. Here are some of the most popular intercom system features:
-
Video calling

Noise cancellation
Of these features, video intercoms are by far the most requested. They let you both hear and see people in other rooms and can even act as a security camera in a pinch.
