They help save space, are easy to install and look very stylish – letterboxes with intercom or video intercom have many advantages. If you are planning to install one at your wicket or want to replace outdated equipment, consider choosing this functional solution!
Letterbox paired with intercom unit
According to Polish regulations, having a letterbox is an obligation for every owner of a residential building. Even in the digital messaging age, we still get a lot of letters and parcels. In order to be safe, they must be protected both from unauthorised access and from the weather, which could damage them.
It is also difficult to imagine a modern home without an intercom or video intercom. The former enables voice communication between household members and visitors, while the latter adds camera monitoring to this functionality.
Modern letterboxes with intercom systems – functional and design-oriented – combine the two devices described above. Let’s take a closer look at the advantages of such solutions and when they are worth using.
Simplified installation
The letterbox with intercom or video intercom is a single product. It is mounted in or on the fence, depending on the type of equipment. The intercom button can be located directly on the box or in the side panel. All this makes the installation of the system much easier. This is because we are installing not two components, but one.
This solution also saves space – an advantage which is particularly important in fences with narrow posts. Letterboxes with intercom systems are suitable for both single-family houses and multi-family buildings. In the latter case, each dwelling has a separate box, either mounted on the fence (surface-mounted box) or a pass-through box built into the fence. The intercom or video intercom panel, on the other hand, is one with several buttons or a numeric keypad.
Convenience and security
Modern boxes meet all safety requirements set out by regulations. Thanks to the sealed, waterproof housing, correspondence is protected from damage. In turn, the use of robust materials protects these items of equipment from unauthorised access or vandalism.
It is also convenient to operate both the letterbox and the video intercom or intercom connected to it. Advanced digital devices with innovative access control technologies are available, such as door opening by code, proximity card or fingerprint. Modern video intercoms can also be operated from an app installed on a smartphone.
Aesthetics and elegance
Letterboxes with intercoms or video intercoms are very practical and functional. However, there is no denying that very many people choose them primarily for their visual appeal. The consistent design, elegant colours and modern lines fit perfectly into the aesthetics of modern homes and fences.
Intercom letterboxes – which one to choose?
When choosing a letterbox with intercom or video intercom, pay attention first and foremost to the quality of the entire system. After all, this is a choice for many years to come. The letterbox panel itself should be made of resistant materials. We have a very wide range of options when it comes to choosing an intercom or video intercom. Especially in the case of the latter, various additional solutions are available to improve the entire operation and increase the level of security.
For example, a video intercom can be integrated into the alarm system and react as soon as an unwanted person starts tampering with the box or wicket. If, in addition, we make use of the modern technologies provided by Smart Home systems, it becomes possible, for example, to get a preview and be able to call back the person at the fence before they even ring the bell! This increases security and deters potential thieves.
Summary
Letterboxes with intercom or video intercom are a modern, functional and design solution. Simple to install, it saves space and protects correspondence well from rain and unauthorised persons. When choosing a product, pay attention above all to its quality. This combination is a choice definitely worth considering!
