Today’s smart technologies are even more intelligent than before! Security intercoms or door entry systems are a good example. They are now fully-integrated with other devices and built to protect any size of buildings whether it is residential, commercial or industrial by verifying who is at the door, both from a video and audio standpoint. That’s said, intercoms shouldn’t be thought of as a simple door entry system anymore!
Networking has driven that change.
