What is an intercom?
An intercom system is a two-way communication electronic device that contains circuitry for the purpose of transmitting and receiving audio and/or video transmissions. With the advent of cellular communication, digital telephone systems, and other communication devices.

Four(4) Types of Intercom Systems.
Hard-Wired
Before the invention of the wireless technology that we all love so much, everything had to be hard-wired. That means that every speaker and station is connected with real, physical wires. While that may sound strange in today’s anti-wire world, hard-wired systems are still relatively common in homes and businesses today.
Mostly, hard-wired intercom systems are installed during construction of the building. The wires need to be run inside of the walls/building, just like electrical lines. Installing a hard-wiredsystem in a preexisting building can be costly and time consuming. Although it’s a bit more expensive, a hard-wired system offers unparalleled clarity, security and reliability. Unlike in a wireless system, there are no networks that could potentially crash or be hacked, and since everything is wired together, the signal isn’t susceptible to interference.
Wireless
Despite the reliability and clarity of a hard-wired system, wireless intercom systems have largely dominated the market in recent years due to their low cost and ease of use. Instead of having a crew come to your business offices or home and knock down walls to install wires, just open the box, charge the batteries and it’s ready to use.
Wireless intercom systems rely on radio frequencies to communicate. Most modern solutions connect to the internet either through Wi-Fi or data connection like 3G, while some work as two-way radios but now that 5G is out wireless intercom will be more efficient since the main issue that plagues wireless systems is distance. Wi-Fi signal and radio frequencies have a limited range. If your front door is too far away from your home’s router, the signal might not be strong enough for the intercom system to work effectively. Systems that rely on radio frequencies can sometimes have interference, like hearing other people on a walkie talkie. Wireless systems are also the least secure, as they’re the easiest to hack.

Carrier-Current
Carrier-current intercom systems work with the existing electrical systems in the building. They use AC power to produce medium-frequency AM signals to communicate between hubs. Carrier-current systems are cheaper to install than hard-wired systems but offer less clarity. This antiquated type of intercom system is also susceptible to interference.
