How to choose a video intercom
Before you install such a means of protection in your home, you need to carefully study it. How to choose a video intercom for an apartment, Komsomolskaya Pravda was told by a private security company specialist Ivan Danilin. He draws attention to the following factors:
How to install a monitor with a calling panel
It can be connected to the intercom system by wire or wireless. Many analog monitors are connected to two calling panels. If we are talking about an apartment — then on the entrance door and the entrance. Digital intercoms can work via the Internet and do not require wires to install them. They are easier to install but more expensive. And communication via Wi-Fi does not always work over long distances, this must be remembered.

Control
As a rule, it is push-button or touch. In some models, these functions are combined. Modern video intercoms can be controlled via a smartphone — this is very convenient. You can also see your guests on your phone, even if you are not at home. Button models have fewer functions. The easiest way to open doors is with one big button.
Talk
Older models — including video intercoms — are equipped with speaking tubes. There are some today too. This is handy if you don’t want other people to hear you. Most of the new video intercoms are touch-sensitive with a hands-free function. You see the visitor and communicate with him. The Intercom function is very convenient when the guest does not know that you are watching him. Immediately, we note that it is possible to provide communication with guests through the phone.

The best security cameras
Screen
Everything is logical here. The larger it is, the better the resolution of the camera, the better the image. Big screen models are more expensive. The most common models are 4–7 inches. There are also 10 inches. If you have vision problems, take a device with a large screen. The main thing is that not only people should be clearly visible, but also the space near the entrance or front door.
Image
There is color and there is black and white. It all depends on your preferences. The latter are cheaper, but it can be difficult to see those who have come in them. Without good lighting it is difficult to assess the situation. Colored intercoms have a wider viewing angle. With them, you can better see who came to you.
Functions and memory
Keep an eye on the opportunities that sellers offer you. For example, being able to connect to a smartphone is a great feature. Intercom will also not be superfluous. And, of course, details related to the device’s memory. Intercoms with a memory block can take pictures and video of those who are near the entrance to the apartment and save these files. Using the Internet, you can connect cloud storage, or documents will be stored on a memory card. Some models are equipped with their own flash memory, but its volume is not always enough.
