Do you go anywhere without your mobile phone nowadays?
I know I don’t. I feel lost if I don’t have it.
Mobile phone technology has advanced so much in recent years that we can use our phones for all types of things. Screens are getting bigger too, so we don’t need to use our laptops or tablets as much. You can even pay for items on your phone using Apple pay, so you don’t even need to take your wallet with you!
But did you know that you can also use your mobile phone as an intercom? Here's how you can use your phone as an additional safety measure for your home.
How to use a mobile phone as an intercom
To use your phone as an intercom, you firstly need to get a GSM wireless intercom.
This type of intercom allows you to answer the door and even open the gate, even when you're not at home. The obvious benefits to this are added security to your property. GSM intercoms give the illusion that someone is home, which helps to reduce unwanted visitors looking to break into your property whilst providing 24 hour security (and peace of mind).
Another benefit of a GSM intercom is that it makes taking deliveries much easier. Using a GSM intercom means you can open the gate to grant access to your property using your phone, which is ideal for receiving deliveries while you’re not at home.
You can even arrange for the phone call from the intercom to direct to a landline or even multiple devices - which is great for saving on the cost of transmitters!
