When a guest is at a tenant’s door, it’s reasonable that they want to know who it is before they open their home to them.

Therefore, having an intercom system fitted brings security benefits as well as convenience. Is there anything else to know about an intercom system beyond the obvious, however?

This article will look at the benefits that an intercom system brings tenants and other details you might want to know about having it fitted at home.

What can an intercom system bring you?

Intercom systems provide numerous benefits to residents, whether it’s a shared building or their own house. It’s difficult to imagine how a shared building, like a block of flats, would work these days without an intercom system.

If a delivery is being made that somebody has to sign for, for instance, getting the attention of just the intended recipient is simple with an intercom system and saves the driver from disturbing everybody in the building.

Being in control of where you live is essential to feeling comfortable and at ease, and is part of a landlord’s responsibility.

The features of Intratone’s intercom systems make the job of property management easier. The remote nature of access control means your job and supervision of security can be done from anywhere.

Unfortunately, there are thousands, if not millions, of people across the UK who have a disability that affects their mobility. An intercom system can be a Godsend so that you can respond to enquiries remotely, especially one that tenants can answer through the convenience of a smartphone or computer; this makes things so much easier for everybody.

Do you want to know more on the subject? Contact Intratone to find out what benefits this can bring you if you’re a property manager looking for heightened security measures.

The choice of intercom is up to you

The beauty of choosing access control products via Intratone is aplenty and includes the ability to open a door hands-free with your keyfob, so tenants won’t need to juggle whatever else they might be carrying. 

Regarding our wireless intercom systems, however, we believe that these are advantageous because you are able to see from your smartphone who is at the door. The intercom system can be flush-mounted or surface-mounted on the building’s facade to suit your preference and no indoor device is required. In comparison, there is more extensive and invasive work to be carried out if you want to buy a wired intercom.

As well as being able to open your door remotely from wherever you are with our wireless intercoms, they don’t usually require the same level of maintenance that wired solutions tend to need.

The cost of an intercom system varies depending on the model you select, but the choice is often down to personal preference. For property managers, you can have peace of mind that the properties you are responsible for are more secure.
