As multi-unit complexes, campuses, shopping plazas, and upscale residential communities continue to evolve, so do requirements for security and convenience. Analog intercoms or simple doorbells are no longer sufficient to provide visibility and control in shared spaces where all the action happens. Building owners require more intelligent, interactive options that extend visibility beyond front entrances. That’s where SIP intercom systems transform modern access control—offering live communication, identity verification, and central management across multiple zones.
Why Common Area Monitoring Matters
Common areas—lobbies, corridors, fitness rooms, lounges, rooftop decks, and parking garages—are heavy-traffic areas. They are also vulnerable to:
- Unauthorized entry.
- Tailgating.
- Vandalism.
- Abuse of shared amenities.
- Break-in to the parking lot.
Reliance on passive CCTV monitoring rarely allows for timely intervention. SIP intercom systems bring two-way communication, remote identity verification, and instant response capability—making common areas supervised, safer spaces.
Advantages of SIP Intercom Systems
SIP solutions offer, in comparison to traditional analog devices:
- HD video communication.
- Cloud-based access control.
- Biometric authentication.
- Remote management.
- Scalable deployment.
- Multi-building support.
They utilize IP networks, making it easy to expand coverage as buildings grow.
Areas to Monitor with SIP Intercom Stations
Underground Parking Entrances
Garage parking is typically a secondary access point and is a common intruder target. Adding outdoor SIP intercom stations, such as the WO801 (8-inch), provides:
- Real-time driver authentication.
- License reading with clear wide-dynamic cameras.
- Remote gate control.
This keeps unauthorized vehicles out of restricted zones.
Fitness Centers and Gyms
Partially shared fitness rooms should be accessible only to residents or authorized staff. SIP terminals such as the WR502F (5-inch) make it possible to:
- Facial recognition.
- Fingerprint authentication.
- Real-time blacklist alerts.
Biometric access makes secure identity authentication—without the need to be on site—possible.
Shared Lounges, Activity Rooms, and Meeting Spaces
Club areas can become overcrowded or abused. With devices such as the WR701 (7-inch), building managers can:
- Make two-way video calls possible.
- Offer remote access.
- Identify unauthorized groups.
- Monitor attendance activity.
Instant communication helps ensure secure, orderly common spaces.
Rooftop Terraces and Outdoor Spaces
Outdoor or partially separated spaces are seldom supervised by staff. Weather-resistant models, like the WO501 (5-inch), offer:
- Pre-entry identity verification.
- Emergency call feature.
- Off-peak hour monitoring.
Their enhanced durability yields reliable performance outdoors.
Enhancing Perimeter and Delivery Zone Security
Building Entrances and Main Gates
Busy building entrances require rapid but accurate identity verification. The WO101 (10-inch) supports:
- Rapid facial recognition.
- Blacklist triggers.
- Person-passing photo storage.
This reduces the threat of tailgating and unlawful entry.
Loading Docks and Delivery Bays
Delivery locations are often forgotten. SIP outside stations enable staff to:
- Check driver identification.
- Verify delivery authorizations.
- Monitor drop-off activity.
This discourages cargo theft and penetration into facilities.
Benefits of a Consolidated SIP System
Centralized Management Platform
A SIP system is as strong as its back-end. It can be combined with a face recognition-based access control and attendance management system and implemented on a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN). Centralized management implies that all the access points—major gates to rooftop decks—can be managed from a single platform.
Real-Time Audio and Video Communication
With two-way audio and high-definition video capability built into devices like the WI704 (7-inch indoor panel with split-screen), workers can recognize visitors or respond to emergencies in real time. It allows two-way video calls with a door machine or video doorbell, and may open the door via remote access.
Remote Access and Control Features
It can perform functions like personnel addition in the backend for facial recognition, visitor management, door opening record uploads, and attendance data export via WEB or WeChat mini-program. This helps property managers manage access remotely—an imperative feature in today’s hybrid work model.
Smart Features to Look For
Two-Way Audio and Video Calling
Two-way AV communication is an imperative for live identity verification. Our devices, like WR501, offer this as a feature on a stable Android platform.
Emergency Call Buttons
During emergencies, a panic button can be a lifesaver. Intercoms that are installed in stairways or car parks need to include these buttons to send immediate alert messages.
Access Control Integration
Supports various ways of opening the door (swipe card/face/password/fingerprint, etc.). Secure and convenient multi-modal access control.
Installation Tips for Common Areas
Choosing the Right Device Location
Placement is key—mount intercoms at eye level and along entrances or high-traffic corridors. Corners or inset walls can interfere with camera views.
Enabling Network Compatibility to be a Brute Fact
Our SIP devices are multi-protocol-enabled as well. The device interface supports integration protocols such as MQTT/HTTP/WEBSOCKET, so it is third-party cloud-compliant.
Power Supply and Weather Protection Elements
Outdoor-mounted equipment must utilize POE-supported models, such as the WOZ01 (mini outdoor station), that facilitate easier cabling. Devices are meant to endure varied environmental conditions with robust housing.
