How does it work?
-
Provide your property manager with the new information so that they can update your records in the management portal.

GSM technology eliminates the need for wires, and you can therefore bypass the installation of extensive cabling and in-unit handsets. GSM-powered solutions are a lot easier to install and manage, as well as being more cost-effective and environmentally friendly. For more information, visit our blog.
-
Our products work with GSM technology. This means that we use the mobile phone network. Therefore, you can avoid complex (and costly!) cabling to individual apartments. By pressing the call button on the intercom panel, visitors make a call, which then goes through to the resident’s preferred end device to be answered.

Receiving Calls
-
It’s simple! Residents can download the Intratone app to their smart devices for complete control over their property access. Using their phones, they will be able to see who is outside, speak to the visitor and open the door, or – alternatively – put the phone down without letting them in. Residents without the app can receive audio calls on either their landline or mobile device and speak to the visitor directly.
-
Yes. All our products are equipped with roaming SIM cards, which means that they automatically connect with the network that has the best signal in a given location – at no additional charge.
-
If you are receiving an audio call, this can also be accepted and answered via a smart watch. Video calls from the app cannot be answered by a smart watch.
-
In order to use our intercoms, residents will need to provide at least one preferred phone number. The resident can choose between a landline number and a mobile phone number.
-
There is a short delay (2-3 seconds) while the network connects the call.
-
On the Intratone app you have the option to set it to silent, so you’re not disturbed.
-
You can register 2 phone numbers – a primary and a secondary phone number and add the app on 4 other devices.
Give a primary and a secondary number to your property manager. To set other backup numbers, install the app on all devices and activate using the primary number. The primary number will receive video calls first; if unanswered, the secondary number will receive video calls. If both go unanswered, secondary number receives an audio call.
If you have a new phone number, provide your property manager with the new information so that they can update your records in the management portal.
-
No, residents can also use a landline. In order to use the app, you do need a smartphone.
-
Give a primary and a secondary number to your property manager. Install the app on all devices and activate using the primary number. The primary number will receive video calls first; if unanswered, the secondary number will receive video calls. If both go unanswered, secondary number receives an audio call.
-
Two phone numbers can be stored per flat, which are called one after the other. In addition, you can add as many devices as you like by using the Intratone app. To do this, the app must be installed on each device, and the primary number (the one that receives the video calls first) must be entered. The SMS activation code is then sent to the primary number for you to enter on the new device. After that, you can open the door with any of the registered/activated devices.
-
If you are using the app you can press the open door button to release the door. If you receive an audio call from the intercom, press * to release the door.
-
The module may already be programmed elsewhere. If you do not know where, contact our Tech Support. They can find out for you.
Instead of entering the serial number, select the correct intercom panel in the menu below. Then set the installation up manually. For this, keep the serial number of both the module and the central unit handy.
Application
-
My intercom app allows you to answer visitors who ring your intercom directly from your smartphone or tablet and see them.
Once the app is downloaded and opened, you can register. Enter the phone number you have given to your housing manager. Then, enter the activation code to validate your registration.
If you want to download the app on your phone, click on the following links:

Go on the app, go to the settings and activate the mute mode. Remember to turn the sound back on.
In addition, after two calls in a row, the next call is automatically blocked to protect you from nuisance.

No – that’s the beauty of it. The resident can be anywhere in the world and control access to the building’s communal area. This is ideal for both deliveries and cleaners – as well as other services that require property access.
