An intercom system can be a beneficial addition whether you operate a home-based business or manage a corporation in a multi-level property. Finding the right system depends on your needs and budget.

1. Decide if you prefer wired or wireless intercom systems.

2. Sketch a layout of where you want intercom access in your office.

3. Consider adding security functions with an intercom system.

4. Get a system professionally installed, and benefit from training and maintenance for the product.

Business wireless intercom systems and wired systems are a great way to make an office more productive. Using an intercom to communicate can only benefit your productivity and output.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find a company in your area to install your intercom system


Compare local companies online. Purchase an intercom system from a company that will install and maintain the system for you.

I recommend: In California, consider Intercom Systems for your purchase and installations needs. Florida based, Top Security Inc. offers a nice selection of systems including industrial wireless intercom systems. Sight and Sound Security of New York, offers intercom and security systems.

Small or home-based business options


When you're doing business out of your home, security and intercom systems usually go hand-in-hand. Find a system, big or small, that works for your small business or home office.

I recommend: Look for Doorbell activated intercom/security systems made specifically for the home-based business community. Talk to people at your front door from anywhere in the house or office with wireless intercom systems for homes or businesses.

Mid-size to large business options


When you need a system for a large business in a big space, find business or industrial wireless intercom systems or wired systems that work with your property.

I recommend: Consider investing in business wireless intercom systems that work with your office structure. Choose between wireless or wired desktop systems, wall-mounted systems, office-wide music integrated systems and large-room intercom systems for warehouse areas.

Security with intercom systems


When your company needs an intercom system that helps keep your property secure, invest in security intercom systems.

I recommend: If you're looking for a system for a new business property, installing an intercom system integrated into a security system could save you time and money. Choose video, phone operated or door and wall mounted systems.

Find window intercoms that are right for your business


Businesses that need a secure way to access customers should find window intercoms.

I recommend: If security is a concern, choose a secure glass window intercom system with features to protect your employees. For concession-type uses where function is more important than security, choose window intercoms that offer hands-free functions.
