Why Your Smart Home Needs an Intercom System

Originally posted on 18 September 2020

Today, modern homes are an extension of the smart, connected lifestyles we lead. Cutting-edge technology has enabled the smart home where everything is automated and connected, be it your lighting, heating, sound or security systems. And one thing that takes your smart home to the next level is the smart home intercom system. With WIFI connectivity, built-in cameras and a host of cool features, the new-age smart intercom systems are just what you need in your smart home. Here’s why:

Security

A home intercom system provides peace of mind with an extra layer of security in your smart home. Apart from seamless communication within the home, smart intercoms with doorbell video units allow you to see and interact with visitors at your front door. Smart integration of the intercom with your home security system, helps you make the best use of technology!

Enhanced Communication

Installing home intercom systems facilitates communication and connectivity within your home. No yelling at the top of your voice, with the push of a button(or a seamless voice command!) you can instantly communicate with family members in any part of the house. With web-based IP-enabled intercom units, you can communicate with your family from any part of the house or even across the town!

Monitoring the Young and Elderly

Home Intercoms are a blessing for households with very young children, the elderly and people with special needs. One can easily keep an eye on babies or check-in on elders from any part of the home. With internet-enabled video intercoms, elders can join the family conversation from the comfort of their bed and stay connected. They are also indispensable as a medical alert device, especially with old or differently-abled people in the house.

Convenience

There’s no denying the fact that home intercom systems are super convenient. One doesn’t need to look through the peephole or get up to answer the doorbell. You can check on visitors remotely, and even unlock the front door with smart door release systems! Apart from freedom from yelling to call family members, the two-way intercom systems are also easy to use for the less tech-friendly members of the household.

Musically Yours

With the latest home intercom systems, you can play music in any part of the house with Bluetooth connectivity or using wired connections to your music system. Music on-demand is literally on your fingertips!

Undoubtedly, the new age home intercom systems add a potent punch to your smart home. The humble intercom has evolved into a state-of-the-art automated system that can provide seamless integration with water meters, switches and other smart appliances. Convenience, added security and productivity make the intercom a must-have in your smart home!

I needed to upgrade my security cameras and through a recommendation was introduced to Gabriel.

Would highly recommend reaching out to Gabriel and team!

A Great Job! to the team at Engineered Alarm Solutions for the work performed at my home. From top management to the installers, the team delivered an efficient and professional service. The installers were on time, left the grounds spotless and provided all the support necessary to operate the system. Management provided recommendations that were spot on, and I very much appreciated the honesty and knowledge provided, can't get much better than that.

We are religious sisters and about two years ago we needed to protect our home because our neighbourhood is not very safe. We leave in a big house with too many windows and doors. The Priest from our Church recommended us to call Engineered Alarm Solutions Inc. (EAS) because they have done the security systems at the Church. We called EAS for an estimate. They came to check our home and explained to us all the options we had and provided an estimate. We also had other estimate from a different...

After moving into a new home, we needed a reliable security system to keep our family safe. We contacted Gabriel for a full alarm system, home automation, and security cameras. He met with us in person to ensure we understood the services and how everything worked. As an engineer by trade, Gabriel gave us comfort in his expertise and superior knowledge in the field. No sales pitch, just honest work and guidance on how to best protect our home. We now have a top of the line system, apps installed...

From initial contact until completed installation Engineered Alarm Solutions Incorporated were outstanding. I was provided with several options to choose from. A professional technician installed a new system in my home within 2 days of making the decision to upgrade my home security system. The service was prompt and the installation went ahead without issue. The price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to install a security system.

5 star review We used Gabriel and his team at Engineered Alarm Solutions to install the security cameras, access control, and smoke detectors at our new business location. His team was fast, professional and they delivered on everything that they promised in addition to providing good advice. We recommended him to another business a few units down from us who required an even more complex security system and have heard only good things since then. Would definitely recommend using their...

The technicians were very professional and made a clean and neat installation....

5 star review Several years ago, I hired Engineered Alarm Solutions Inc. (EAS) to install a Monitored Alarm System, Security Cameras, and Home Automation (Deadbolts, Thermostat, Lighting Control, etc.) in our new home. When we purchased the home, it came with a pre-existing security system that was frustrating to use, had recurrent false alarm issues, and we needed to find a new company to install a reliable and better quality system. Our experience with EAS was extremely positive and we have...
