IP Intercom and Security Systems

Application-Specific Selection

How to select the right model for apartments, residential towers, and standalone homes?

The number of buildings/apartments, guard stations, entrance panels, and internal master units must be determined, as well as door release, video, mobile application, and existing cable infrastructure. The architecture required for a large multi-building system is not identical to that for an individual villa.

Which infrastructure considerations apply to industrial and enterprise IP intercoms?

PoE supply, network segmentation, emergency calling scenarios, outdoor environmental resilience, camera and PBX integration, and authorization/access policies are clarified. System performance is evaluated in conjunction with network design.

What is the difference between a counter intercom and a nurse call system?

Counter communication targets two-way conversation across a physical partition. Nurse call systems require distinct functions, such as call requests from rooms to staff stations, priority queuing, and event logging. Both should be designed with equipment tailored to their intended application.

Is it necessary to completely replace an existing intercom system?

Not in every project. Existing cabling structure, installed station models, production status, and compatibility with new units must be examined. Phased renewal or a migration design may be required for unsupported legacy models.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an IP intercom and a conventional analogue intercom?

IP intercom systems provide call handling and video communication over suitable network infrastructure. Analogue and hybrid systems have different cabling, capacity, and expansion options. For selection, existing infrastructure, number of buildings, security, and integration requirements should be evaluated together.

For residential buildings and multi-dwelling developments, for how many entrances and flats can a system be specified?

The capacity supported by families such as Aiphone GT/IXG depends on the model, central exchange/gateway, and installation topology. Project-specific capacity is determined by clarifying the numbers of door stations, flats, security guards, blocks, and mobile users.

Can door calls be received on a mobile phone with a villa intercom?

Call management via a mobile application is possible under suitable Aiphone model and connectivity conditions. Smartphone compatibility, internet connection, application service, and door lock control must be verified specifically for the selected product family.

In which areas are IP intercoms used in factories and industrial facilities?

They can be used for communication between security gatehouses, production areas, entrances, dispatch points, and emergency call stations. Ingress protection, network infrastructure, ambient noise levels, and call scenarios influence product selection.

Can the IP intercom system be connected to SIP/PBX, CCTV cameras, or access control?

Certain Aiphone IP series can support specific integrations. However, ONVIF, SIP, PBX, relay/lock, and video management integrations are not identical across all models; model, firmware, and third-party system requirements must be confirmed per project.

Is a dedicated counter intercom required at ticket counters and service desks instead of a standard intercom?

At service counters equipped with security glass and high background noise, counter intercoms with dedicated microphone/speaker designs can improve speech intelligibility. Solutions such as Aiphone IMU are evaluated for two-way communication.

Do nurse call systems automatically meet all hospital security standards?

No. Call points, staff alert indicators, and nurse station design must be planned according to the healthcare facility's specific requirements. Compliance or project approvals such as UL 1069 are evaluated strictly based on the model covered by the documentation and the installation conditions.

What technical support does NOVEL provide in intercom projects?

NOVEL can evaluate product family selection, existing infrastructure compatibility, project configuration, technical documentation, training, and appropriate after-sales support requirements for Aiphone systems. Commissioning and service scope are clarified at the proposal stage.
