Benefits of Wireless Intercoms vs. Wired Intercoms
Wireless intercoms are similar to wired intercoms with the main difference in the name.
Wired intercoms physically attach to your office or home and require wiring throughout the area to connect the intercom system. When you opt for wireless intercoms, you are connecting to a power source and then allowing the intercoms to communicate with each other without the need for drilling holes into the wall or other options for connections.
How do wireless intercom systems work?
There are a lot of options when it comes to wireless intercom systems, and they work in a lot of different ways. The most common choice is a system that communicates via GSM Sim card. Other systems list themselves as wireless but still use the existing building AC electrical wiring. You may also use an intercom system that works off Wi-Fi connectivity.
Why should you choose wireless over wired?
Many home and business owners opt for a wireless system because retrofitting a building for a wired network is costly and no longer necessary. Wireless systems are also portable, making them perfect for a business that might transfer structures in the future. There are also wireless intercom systems that run off battery packs and allow for mobile use.
What are the benefits of wireless intercoms?
Wireless intercoms come with a myriad of different benefits that set them apart from their wired counterparts and make them ideal for home and office use.
Installation
As mentioned above, the advent of wireless intercom systems means that users no longer need to retrofit their homes to install a complex wiring system. Why open your walls when you can quickly plug a wireless intercom into a power source and have an instant system?
Wireless intercoms are typically simple and easy to install, making them an ideal choice for those who might not have advanced technical or wiring knowledge.
Portability
Without semi-permanent attachments to the wall and internal wiring, wireless intercoms can be moved from room to room, throughout an office building or home. Users can transfer an intercom to a new place on their own without prior knowledge on how to disconnect the wiring. Again, there are also wireless intercoms that have battery packs, making them hyper portable. You can leave one intercom inside the building and take one intercom outside, and they will stay in contact with each other inside a specified range.
24/7 Access
If you’re using a wireless intercom system to keep track of a loved one, you can rest assured that you have 24/7 access to the intercom. Whenever you need to check on a loved one, like an elderly parent, you can contact them through the wireless connection, no matter when that is.
Security
You can increase your family’s security by adding a wireless intercom system to the house. Include one at your front door to check visitors before you let them inside. If you’re not sure whether to trust the stranger at your door, you do not need to open your house to them. Wireless intercoms add a layer of security to your home or your business that you might lack otherwise.
Wi-Fi
Some wireless intercom systems allow you to connect the devices to your Wi-Fi, giving you more significant access to the system. These days, many wireless networks come with smartphone apps so that you can communicate with the intercoms from wherever you are so long as the devices are connected to Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi connectivity also goes together with increased security.
