Video Intercom Options

Our electrician quoted on the installation for a video intercom system and it seemed quite expensive. No doubt it was a good unit, but since I'd previously installed a cheap system in the old house and still had the camera mounted in the front fence (yes, we managed to keep most of the front fence during construction) I was keen to do this myself.

When you start looking around it seems that a lot of these systems are chinese branded products that can be purchased on ebay or advertised in bulk on alibaba. Quality tends to vary in these units, as evidenced by our previous model whereby the volume adjustment just didn't work, so I wanted to find a reputable brand or proven product. This is where I came across Samsung video intercoms. It seems that most people are impressed with the high resolution graphics and have only good things to say about them.

  2. Great Content. I like the way of your presentation and really Great information about Wireless intercom systems are a relatively modern advancement. Unlike the traditional wired models, they don't require any wired association between units. All the units communicate via wireless signals.
