Mobile apps have become a standard part of modern intercom systems. Residents can see a visitor and unlock the door from a smartphone, even when they are away from the property.

Until recently, an indoor monitor was a standard part of a video intercom system: a visitor called from the entrance panel, and the resident answered on a device inside the apartment.
