NY Apartment Telephone Intercom system Installation

When  you  look  at  the  existing  telephone entry systems or in other words telephone intercom applications for apartments, you are looking mainly at 3 types  of  telephone  door  entry  systems.  Telephone  auto  dialer  system, Telephone  hardwired system and of course the old fashioned  stand-alone system are the 3 systems to be precise.Auto dialer telephone entry systems are often called as phone bill systems while the hardwired telephone  entry systems are called no-phone bill systems.

Let us explore these 3 types and their similarities and differences which will give  you  a  better  understanding when you are picking an entry system to 
your  apartment. Old  Fashioned  stand-alone  door  entry  systems  involve additional infrastructure cost as it has to bear cost  for  special  wiring inside the premises for installation and special indoor stations. Normally, apartments have only one indoor station for the intended use of the tenant. One  major drawback of this system more widely known is the poor audio quality at times.

But the race nowadays is mostly between auto dialer entry systems and its counterpart hard wired telephone entry systems. Auto dialer entry systems requires a direct phone line from a local phone company. When a  guest  arrives  at the door and when they  call the  resident in the apartment, it will go through as a general phone call to the resident’s house. This means 
the more visitors  keep  coming  for the apartment, tenants  will  have to bear a higher telephone bill. It is a burden on most customers  and  it  also  brings  out  the  issue  of  what  if  the  residents  don’t  have  any phone service and if they wish to 
discontinue it, the unit at the front door won’t be of any use.

The  dependency  of  a  dedicated  phone  service  at the resident’s apartment has limited the options for consumers when selecting a entry door systems.The availability of the service provider is also key to the success and the quality of service in these door entry systems.The other main concern for the auto dialer entry systems is that the extra charges that comes with it. As each time a visitor arrives a phone call to inside the apartment is made and it is charged like a regular call. The phone company  considers  this  dedicated  line as a business line and bills the apartment accordingly. Imagine the situation of the apartment having a significantly large number of visitors, in which case the residents will have to bear a extremely high utility bill. In cases where the apartments might need additional doors for access controlling purposes, each additional door entry system  will  require  an  additional   dedicated   phone  line  which  means  additional  phone  charges  once  again.  If  not, 
simultaneous  phone  calls  to  these  different entry systems cannot be processed as there is only one phone line.However 
auto  dialer  systems  have  always  been  a  target  of  various kind of call frauds which is another drawback inherent to the system. 

Most people nowadays don’t have a home phone service to their apartments,as they are using their mobile phones as their primary mode of communication. In which case phone companies charge these wireless calls both to the apartment and to each individual tenants,  which  most of the times is harsh on the tenants.Especially on apartments where only one resident 
is living, normally  there’s  no  phone  service  only  a  cell  phone is used. So the additional charges due to wireless calls is 
another drawback of this type of entry system.

Hardwired telephone intercom systems have special wiring that is needed during installation and the main difference is that 
it  uses  your  existing  phone  line  and  there’s  no  additional phone lines needed to implement this system. When a guest 
presses  the  call  button, a  double  ring  alerts  the  people  inside that someone is at the gate, as opposed to an incoming telephone call. Therefore there is no additional phone bill involved in this, which is the main advantage of this entry system. 

As each system has its inherent benefits and drawbacks, all these door entry systems appeal to one or another  based  on their expectations of a telephone entry system and their expectations.
