Smart intercom systems are internet-connected electronic devices that allow you to speak to
the person at the front door and unlock remotely after verifying their identity through voice
and/or video calling. Smart intercoms with cameras allow you to watch the visitor on an indoor
monitor or on your smartphone. Video intercom systems are fast becoming the standard of
security and convenience in modern apartment buildings and homes alike.
If you are going to invest in a smart video intercom system, make sure the system you select is
actually smart and not a last-century intercom masquerading as a smart one.
