Telguard Intercoms & Door Entry
The demand for intercom systems has skyrocketed over the last six months.
As always in this industry, we’ve been presented with a few interesting installation challenges around cabling, connectivity and more.
For example, when providing remote access to a site, where connectivity is a budgetary and practical challenge, it requires us to get our thinking caps on.
Furthermore, a site where cabling is an issue requires an alternative solution.

Businesses can use video intercom systems as an alternative to a reception team. Stations can be positioned around the office for when a visitor arrives, upon which a member of staff can easily let them in with a push of a button.
