A video intercom system is an audio intercom system with a camera. This type of advanced door and security entry system is ideal for managing access to a commercial building. Like other types of intercom systems, a video door intercom with a camera also supports communication between visitors and occupants for residential applications.

Although the use of mobile and digital devices have increased over the years, the need for these types of intercom systems still have a place for various security applications. These include facilitating communication within a building and in particular, security for entrance and exit points for multi-level residential dwellings and building complexes.
