Intercom at the entrance to the building

[fcbetting]

An intercom is a device at the entrance to the building, which is used to enter inside, calls the owner of the apartment, who opens the door for you. The intercom can also have additional options such as PIN or video calls. Many consider it necessary for functioning.

There is an intercom in my building, but it is not functional in my apartment. And without it, I'm functioning fine so far. I have no problem going down 4 floors and opening the door for someone. My guests haven't complained so far either. The only ones who have a problem are the delivery people, because they have to contact me when they arrive in front of the building. I don't know why this is a problem for them because in that case they don't have to climb to the 4th floor. The building also does not have an elevator.

What do you think about living in a building up to the 4th floor but without an intercom?

How do you mean? If fighter fighter come it will broke door. If you need medical help you will probably try go down so ambulance car can get you faster in hospital.

But it never happens here a buikding whout intercoms. It is a must before constructing the building. The city engineers will do the inspection if owners complied the regulations.

I know few building where intercom is complete off. Maybe installation is there but it was not maintained and now it don't work. In some building people don't lock front doors but we don't have much problems with security.

 

[Starmix]

Nah, that isn't a good picture then of the building.

There must be other option if the intercom is not functioning. With the development of technology I guess your building administrator can do something.

Yes, that must be done asap.Many surely suffer if that case happens in a place where a building has no intercoms.

That's very inconvenient. Sigh good thing I don't live in a. building lol. Our dogs take care of the visitors they're always ready at the entrance.

How do you solve problems when kids non stop ring on your apartment using intercom? Sometimes even at night. You can't wait for them and slap them since you will get fine for molesting kids.

Well whatever is the issue you just have to find a way you can't just do away with it

Put additional camera on entrace is good solution but still that cost. Even more cost security guard to keep on door. Maybe just disconnect intercom for some time is best and cheap idea.

Yes, we have intercom at the entrance of the apartment. It is good for security reasons. Other than communicating with visitors, we can also use the intercom to communicate with the security guard at the lobby.

We don't have an intercom at where I live. Here in my country, it is top organisations that have intercom installed in their premises.

 

[Starmix]

It's best to have a intercom to recognise right away a visitor that we may have at home or at the office.

 

[Sanjeev]

That must be inconvenient for you when there is an emergency. We have a door bell with the camera where we can see and talk to a person who rings bell.

Even in very big houses, an intercom is extremely important. Incase there is an emergency or something like that.

 

[Shavkat]

I think it is a good device to keep safe and prevent criminals to do something bad to us.

 

[Ratine]

For me l really have no problems living in a story building without the intercom devices.

Intercoms are essential in high-rise buildings, and many city condominiums use them. However, some have failed to maintain theirs.
