Advanced security systems
Video intercoms are so often a standalone system using proprietary wiring and communications. By using “open” standards or protocols for video intercoms, they can be incorporated into AV control systems allowing you to answer the door or gate on a touch screen or mobile app. When integrated, “events” can be triggered, for example turning on a light or lighting up the driveway.
If you have guests leaving and they need the gate opening, you can do that from the lighting keypad in the hall. If you’re having a party and want to leave the gate open all evening, again that’s just a push of a button.
