Video Door Phone system

A video door phone system (also known as a video intercom system) allows homeowners to see and communicate with visitors at their front door via a camera, display screen, and audio system. It enhances security by allowing you to verify who is at your door before opening it. Modern systems often include features like smartphone connectivity, video recording, and integration with smart home systems.

Components of a Video Door Phone System:

Outdoor Unit:

• Includes a camera, microphone, and speaker. It is installed at the front door or gate to capture video and audio from visitors.
• Some outdoor units come with night vision or motion detection for added security during low-light conditions.

Indoor Unit:

• Typically a monitor (LCD or touchscreen) placed inside the home that allows the user to see the video feed from the outdoor unit.
• Some models allow two-way communication and control over door locks, gates, or other smart devices.

Power Supply:

• The system is powered either by a direct connection to the home’s electrical system or via low-voltage wiring, with many modern models also offering battery backup options.

Wiring or Wireless:

• Wired systems are more stable and offer a secure connection, though they can be more challenging to install.
• Wireless systems connect via Wi-Fi and are easier to install but depend on a stable internet connection.

Key Features of Video Door Phone Systems:

Two-Way Audio:
