How To Build a Video Intercom System for Home Security

Intercoms are a cornerstone of any home security system. But intercoms can be challenging to build right the first time around. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to achieve the same end result that your home security system promises: you share it with your friends and family members. Or you build it from scratch. (You have our final choice.) Whatever you do, don’t skimp on the components or the construction of your intercom system. You need them for effective surveillance and management of people in your home. If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of the 159 million Americans who have an Intercom System. And regardless of how hard it can sometimes feel to find the time and space to build one, there is literally nothing that is more fun than creating one for yourself.

What Is a Video Intercom System?

It is a type of home security system that uses a video camera to communicate with the homeowner. Unlike the dedicated doorbell system that many people use, a VIS uses a radio signal instead of a written message to communicate with the home. The digital signal enabling the video communication is fed to a 120-MHz digital radio, which is tunable using a nearby telephone line. The homeowner can watch the video on a computer monitor, laptop, or smartphone, and take steps to shut off the signal without a video camera. The video can also be live-streamed to a local or long-distance camera using an app.

Home Security Intercoms

There are several different types of home security systems that can all be used with intercoms. These include alarm clocks, home monitoring systems, home security cameras, and doorbells. Home security systems using an intercom have the added advantage of being able to send and receive messages through the Internet and be turned off automatically when someone leaves the house.

How to Build a Video Intercom System For Home Security

First, you need to choose the components that you will make use of. Next, you will need to decide which connections you will put up between the camera and home security system. From there, you will need to decide where the video camera should sit within the home. You can either use a wall mount or a table-top or even a nightstand. Once you have these options in mind, it is time to select the design and construction of the system you will build for yourself. The next step is to decide where the intercom cable should go. It is important to make sure that the cable is long enough and of a light weight to be able to move with the room and the intercom. It is also important to make sure that the length of the cable is sufficient to prevent tripping and excessively dull vibrations from damaging the intercom. It is also important to consider the length of the hidden cable and the length of the exposed cable. It can be difficult to know how long the hidden intercom and the exposed one will be able to remain connected during the night. It can be a good idea to short the hidden intercom and the exposed one so that the intercom is at a less risk of being connected too short or too long. In order to make the most of the benefits of a VIS, it is important to minimize the number of connections.
