The device can be a personal computer at the workplace of a security guard or concierge, a smartphone or laptop of the owner of the premises. There are also projects in which the signal is recorded on registrars installed in another city, so the information can be viewed from another continent. But of course, most often, customers use video intercoms (intercom monitors) from the same manufacturer as the calling panel in front of the door.
It is possible to record video and audio on demand, or when a motion sensor installed in the call panel is triggered. The device operates on a network basis, so it is possible to connect other devices that support data in digital format. Opening doors, motion detection – all this is relevant for such equipment. This makes it possible to control who came to visit at the time of absence.
It is possible to receive video and audio data even if there was no actuation of the control device or a call. The software installed on the terminal has the ability to force viewing and listening to everything that happens near the door, viewing and searching for data, recording information in the archive, etc.
