Door Stations
Door stations are one of the best additions you can make to your home or business when you need a way to screen visitors. Also officially referred to as door entry systems, these devices are perfect for both residential and commercial integration. Better yet, door stations effectively compliment security camera systems by granting you two-way communication at the primary entrances of your residence or business. Whereas in the past you would need a phone or video screen to answer every person at the door station, now you can receive them on your phone wherever you are!
What is a door station?
A door station is a security and communication device commonly installed at building entrances. It features a camera, microphone, and speaker, allowing occupants to visually and audibly communicate with visitors outside. This device is often integrated into intercom or access control systems, enhancing security and convenience. Users can verify visitors, grant or deny access, and remotely control doors or gates. Door stations are widely used in residential, commercial, and institutional settings to manage entry points and improve overall security.

What is network intercom?
A network intercom is a communication system based on Internet Protocol (IP) technology that enables audio and sometimes video communication among various endpoints within a network. It is commonly used in residential, commercial, and institutional settings for internal communication between rooms or buildings. Network intercoms often include indoor monitors, outdoor stations, and mobile device integration, allowing users to communicate over the network. They can also be integrated with access control and surveillance systems, offering enhanced security and convenience.

Are network intercom and door station different things?
Yes, network intercoms and door stations are distinct components within communication and security systems. Network intercoms use IP technology for broader communication needs across multiple locations, while door stations are specialized devices primarily installed at building entrances for access control and visitor verification. Door stations typically feature cameras and intercom capabilities. While some door stations can be part of network intercom systems, they serve specific entry-point functions, whereas network intercoms support more comprehensive communication requirements.

How does video door phone work?
A video door phone, or video intercom, operates by combining a camera and microphone at the outdoor unit, usually placed near the main entrance, with an indoor monitor or smartphone app. When a visitor activates the system by ringing the doorbell or triggering motion detection, the camera captures live video, and the microphone and speaker facilitate two-way audio communication. The indoor monitor or app displays the video feed, allowing occupants to see and talk to the visitor. Access control features like remote door unlocking may also be included for added security and convenience.

What is a video door intercom?
A video door intercom is a traditional term for previous generations of door stations that were generally isolated from other security or surveillance systems while featuring a two-way communicating device at the front door and an answering station within the home or business. As mentioned above, the older version of door stations no longer commonly use an isolated system, but rather integrate with a greater security camera system and can be answered from a person’s personal mobile phone or computer. Moreover, a home security camera system with a touchpad managing screen can also answer those interacting with the door station when integrated correctly.

What is an intercom door station?
In essence, an intercom door station is a system that allows you to answer your front door without actually being present through two-way audio. Most notably, modern devices of this nature are better known as door stations and most often feature both video and audio capabilities.
An intercom door station system is used for apartment complexes, hotels, and the like where multiple residences are present. In short, they are an interconnected system where the station at the front door has multiple options representative of the residents in the building or complex and can be contacted from that spot. Similar to the above, previous generations included a physical spot or phone a person had to be at to answer. However, now such calls can be answered from a personal cell phone.

Difference between video doorbell and intercom
While both can be references to door stations, an intercom only features audio while video doorbells can feature both video and two-way audio. If a door station is referred to as an intercom, it is generally one from a previous generation while a video doorbell is most often those found on houses and apartments. Video doorbells have most notably been used singularly and as a part of a greater system.
