INTERCOM

Introduction

An intercom is an electronic communications system within a building or group of


buildings. The permanent intercoms are generally composed of fixed
microphone/speaker units which connect to a central control panel. Intercoms can be
portable or mounted permanently in buildings and vehicles. Intercoms can incorporate
connections to:

1.Walkie talkies
2.Telephones
3.Cell phones
4.Electro-mechanical or electronic devices such as signal lights and door latches.
Basic terms

Master Station or Base Station - These are units that can control the system, i.e., initiate a
call with any of the stations and make announcements over the whole system.

Sub-station - Units that are capable of only initiating a call with a Master Station but not
capable of initiating calls with any other stations(sometimes called slave units).

Intercom Station - Full-featured remote unit that is capable of initiating and receiving
conversation, individual conversation and signaling .

Wall Mount Station - Fixed-position intercom station with built-in loudspeaker.

Belt Pack - Portable intercom station worn on the belt. Requires a headset or handset.
Wired Intercoms

In wired intercom,signal light


indications between stations can
be accomplished through the use
of additional conductors via tone
frequencies sent above or below
the speech frequency range.
Wireless intercom

There are many types of wireless intercom systems on the market. Most
wireless intercom systems communicate over the airwaves using one of
the frequencies allotted by various government agencies.
Wireless intercoms simply save the hassle and costs involved with
hard-wired.
They are:-
1.Efficient
2.Easily maintained
Wired vs Wireless

As mentioned one of the main reasons to use a wireless intercom


system is that the cost of retrofitting a building for a wired intercom
system is high. Another reason to use a wireless system is portability.
With many wired systems a user who is seated typically has to get up
and go to a wall mounted intercom to use it.With a wireless intercom, a
person can put an intercom unit anywhere they want.One of the
challenges of a wireless system is the possibility of interference. Since
wireless systems communicate over the airwaves other wireless devices
may interfere with wireless intercom communications.
Integrated Intercom System

An integrated intercom system has the capacity to work in


conjunction with other security devices and systems thus
enabling to “multiply the forces” of any given security system.
Intercom Entry System

An intercom entry system is distinctively designed to


prevent unauthorized access to a specific space or area
you wish to keep protected. Such an access control
entry system relies on a door, a gate or any other
entryway that can be opened via an electric strike
operated by the person answering the entry request.
Access control intercom can be hard-wired, wireless or
long distance, relying on IP technology to transmit any
order or information.
Video Door Intercom

A video door intercom is by far the best tool one can utilize to
identify a visitor requesting access. A video door intercom is
basically a video entry system composed of an external panel,
a door bell a handset and a monitor.
The Wiring Configurations of Home Intercom System

Hard Wired Design


Basically we have 3 types of configurations available. Each one has its
own strengths and weaknesses….

1. Daisy System
This has a single common set of wire from the PSTN connected to all
telephones. The drawback is that it can handle only a single traffic at a
time.

2. Star Connection
Here all telephones send a pair of wires each to the central hub called as
punch-down box.

3. LAN Connection
Here we will have to run 2 sets of cables in parallel, one for voice and the
other for high speed data transfer through Ethernet service.
AVAILABLE HOME INTERCOM SYSTEMS:

1) Music home intercoms are both intercoms and music players. One
can hook up radios, CD players, and speakers to the intercom and hear
music through all the rooms in the house.

2) Voice-only home intercoms are perfect for convenient room-to-room


communication.

3) Video telephone home intercoms combine all the best elements of


communication into one ultra intercom. With this device one can see
and hear also.

4) Wireless home intercoms install in minutes and easy to operate.


They offer fantastic range and clarity.
Intercom- Project

We would now construct


a simple intercom that is
based on the LM380 IC
chip . This chip is able to
put out 2 watts of power
if it is heat sink properly.
