“Therefore, we want to tell you what are the main differences between IP video door entry systems and digital video door entry systems, the two most popular types of video intercoms for buildings, single-family homes, businesses or any type of building,” it said. The differences are summarized as below.
· IP technology is very powerful and allows to perform much more advanced communication functionalities than conventional video door entry systems.
· IP video door entry systems are the evolution of the digital ones, according to the present communication technologies.
· Digital video door entry systems mainly serve as the door openers and communicating with the exterior. In contrast, an IP system allows to connect the home with other additional services.
· IP technology improves the image and audio quality in the video door entry systems.
· IP video door entry systems use structured cabling unlike the digital ones that need specific wiring for the system.
· Thanks to TCP/IP based systems, the intercommunication from anywhere in the world is achieved, as the system is connected to the Internet.
· IP video door entry systems offer the smart functionalities that similar digital systems do not allow, for example forwarding the call to mobile devices, intercommunication between neighbors, send messages and remote device activation.
· The interconnection by the cabling eliminates need of a central server. Each device has its own autonomy and is connected to a common network.
