Intercom
Intercom Systems
These are one of the more common types of security and communications systems in New York. Intercom systems in NYC allow people in different rooms speak with one another, with those at the door, or even in other buildings. Usually, these New York City intercom systems are employed for security reasons.
Most NYC intercom installations are designed so that someone wishing to enter the building or a home rings the occupants and requests permission to enter by voice. They are then granted or denied access, with either a door “buzzer” unlocking the latch or someone physically coming to and opening the door.
An intercom system in NYC usually consists of an outdoor panel with call buttons designating each office or apartment in the building and individual stations within each office or apartment in the building that correspond.

Video Intercom
The next generation of intercom systems in New York City is video. These systems allow voice and video communication, giving much better security. These intercom systems can be one or two way video (most commonly one way only) and are a definite upgrade to most NYC security system designs.
The video intercom system in New York City works the same way the voice-only units do, but ads the extra component of video to better identify to whom you're speaking. A camera, coupled to the audio intercom system, can be right on the intercom panel or somewhere in the doorway or stoop. The call station inside the building (or stations) will have a video monitor for viewing as well as talking. This results in much better security for New Yorkers.
Phone Intergrated Systems
Also called Phone Entry Systems in NYC, these are a phone based intercom system that work similarly to other intercom systems except the buzzer at the front door calls your phone system rather than a traditional indoor intercom unit.
These are commonly seen in offices and secure reception areas and are also used in many older buildings where wiring a new intercom system would be troublesome.
In New York City, phone entry systems are usually very cost-effective to install and maintain as they require little wiring. They also have the added advantage of being operable from anywhere, so using a phone entry system tied to your mobile phone, you could let service and maintenance or housekeeping people into your home or office without having to be there.
