Apartment door phone
An apartment intercom is now an integral part of most apartment buildings. It makes it easy to talk to - and often see - the caller before the door opens. When choosing or replacing a system, the important questions arise: Should it be wired or wireless? Should it have video? And how can it integrate with access control or keyless entry?
At Keypartner, we help housing associations, administrators and private individuals get an overview and choose a reliable and future-proof solution that suits the property - from classic audio systems to digital door phones with app and video.
Wired or wireless door phone for apartment buildings
Wired door phone
Classic solution where cables are run between the entrance and devices in the apartments. Benefits: High stability and reliability. Often ideal for new buildings or major renovations where installation can be planned from the start.
Wireless door phone for apartment buildings
In older buildings, rewiring can be extensive and expensive. A wireless intercom communicates via WiFi or radio and can often be connected directly to a smartphone. Residents can see, speak and answer - even when they are not at home. The solution is flexible and causes minimal disruption to the occupants during installation.
Tip: The choice depends on building conditions, desired functionality and operating budget. We advise on the most robust solution.
Audio or video door phones for apartments
Audio-based door phones are simple, robust and attractively priced. You can hear who is at the door, but not see them. Reliable and ideal for properties with simple needs, this type of solution is still used in many places.
Video door entry phones are now a popular choice in both apartment buildings and businesses. Residents can see the visitor directly on a screen or smartphone before they open the door, providing extra security and making it easier to deal with deliverymen, tradesmen or unexpected guests. Many businesses also choose the video solution as an extra security measure.
Door phone with door opener - local or remote?
Today, a door phone with an operator can work in two main ways. The traditional solution is the local door release, where the resident presses a button on the intercom in the apartment. This method is still widely used and is both simple and reliable. The newer solution is a digital intercom connected to a smartphone. Here the resident can see and talk to the guest - and open the door - whether they are home or not. This provides a whole new level of flexibility that many people appreciate, especially in apartment buildings, because you can grant access even if you're not physically in the building. With these two options, the property can choose the solution that best suits the residents' everyday life - or combine them to provide both simplicity and flexibility.
Integration with access control
In many buildings today, the door phone is combined with an access control system. In this way, residents can gain keyless access via a token, app or code, while guests still use the door phone. The benefit is particularly evident in larger housing associations:
