A doorbell intercom is a system that combines a doorbell with an intercom, allowing two-way communication between a visitor at the door and someone inside the building. It is commonly used in homes, apartments, and offices to enhance security and convenience. Here's how it typically works:

  • Visitor Interaction: A visitor presses the doorbell button at the entrance.
  • Notification: The system alerts the resident or occupant inside, often with a chime or ring.
  • Two-Way Communication: The occupant can speak to the visitor through the intercom to verify their identity or purpose.
