What is a video intercom?

A video intercom, also called a video door phone, has three main parts:

• Outdoor door station: the unit at the door or gate with a call button, camera, microphone and speaker.
• Indoor monitor: the screen inside where you see and talk to the visitor and press unlock.
• Lock control: a relay output that opens an electric lock or gate motor.

Smart video intercoms add a phone app, so you can answer and open the door when you are away.

Types of intercom systems

The best type depends mainly on the cables between your door and the inside of your home.

1. 4-wire analog intercom

The classic wired system: the door station and indoor monitor are linked by four wires that carry power, audio and video. It needs no network or internet, so it is simple and dependable, but it has no phone app.

Good for: houses that want a straightforward door phone, or replacing an old 4-wire kit.

2. 2-wire intercom

Here power, audio and video travel over just two wires. If your old door phone uses two wires, a 2-wire kit can often reuse them, an easy way to upgrade to a smart video intercom without new cables.

Good for: replacing an older intercom on existing two-wire cabling.

3. IP intercom (PoE)

IP intercoms connect over network cable such as Cat5e or Cat6, and with PoE (Power over Ethernet) one cable carries both data and power. They are the easiest to expand with more monitors, door stations or cameras, and they work with apps such as Hik-Connect.

Good for: new villas, building entrances and anyone running new cable.

4. Hybrid intercom

A hybrid kit pairs a simple 4-wire analog door station with a smart touch-screen indoor station that joins your Wi-Fi, so you keep simple wiring at the door and still get app control.

Good for: homes that want app features while keeping 4-wire cabling.

5. Wireless battery and solar intercom

The outdoor unit runs on a rechargeable battery that a solar panel can keep charged, and it talks to the indoor screen wirelessly. This removes the cable between the door and the monitor, but the indoor screen still needs a power outlet, and opening a door or gate still needs wiring to the lock.

Good for: rented homes and gates far from the house where running cable is hard.

How to choose the best home intercom

Villa, apartment or building

One gate needs one door station and one or more indoor monitors. A gate plus a front door or garage calls for a kit that controls two entrances, two families sharing an entrance need a station that calls separate monitors, and buildings need a multi-button or multi-apartment door station.

The wiring you already have

Before buying, check how many wires reach the door from inside: two wires suit a 2-wire kit, four wires suit a 4-wire or hybrid kit, and a network cable opens the way to IP and PoE systems. With no cable at all, consider a wireless solar kit.

Camera resolution and viewing angle

Higher resolution (2K, 4K or 5MP) shows faces more clearly, a wider viewing angle shows the visitor from head to toe, and night vision matters for poorly lit gates.

Indoor screen and recording

Most kits use a 7-inch screen; touch screens are easier to use, and larger screens such as the 8-inch monitor of the EZVIZ HP7 Pro give a bigger view. Many smart kits also record clips and snapshots to a microSD card.

Door and gate unlocking

Remote unlocking only works if the door or gate has an electric lock, electric strike or gate motor connected to the intercom's relay output. For keyless entry, look for RFID cards, a keypad, face or palm unlock, or pair the intercom with a smart lock.

App and remote answering

Smart intercoms send calls and alerts to your phone: EZVIZ kits use the EZVIZ app, Hikvision kits use Hik-Connect and IMOU kits use Imou Life. Remote features need stable home internet.

For larger buildings, the Tuya smart intercom outdoor unit supports up to 64 apartments, with a 2MP camera, a 4.3-inch touch screen, password and swipe-card unlock and IP65 protection. Each apartment then needs its own indoor monitor.

Good for: building entrances shared by several apartments.

Video intercom or video doorbell?

A video doorbell or peephole camera, such as the EZVIZ HP4 with its 4.3-inch indoor screen, is a simpler single-door option that shows visitors but usually does not open a gate. If you mainly want to see who is at your apartment door, read our guide to smart peephole cameras and video doorbells; if you need to open a gate or door remotely, choose a video intercom.

Installation tips

• Check the lock first: remote unlock needs an electric lock, electric strike or gate motor. Browse our smart locks or read our smart door lock buying guide.
• Mount the door station at face height and avoid pointing the camera straight at the sun or a strong light behind the visitor.
• Check the Wi-Fi signal where the indoor monitor will hang. Dual-band models can use 5 GHz when the 2.4 GHz band is crowded.
• Add RFID cards for the family: the EZVIZ proximity card works with EZVIZ smart locks and doorphones that support RFID access.
• Using Hikvision? Kits such as the DS-KIS303-P and DS-KIS608-P are managed in the Hik-Connect app; our Hik-Connect setup guide explains the app basics.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best intercom for home?

It depends on your entrance and wiring. For most houses with one entrance, the EZVIZ HP7 is a strong choice; for two entrances, the HP7 2-Entry Kit or the IMOU VDP7; for two families, the HP7 2-Family Kit; and for a simple wired system without apps, the Hikvision DS-KIS203.

What is the best video intercom with a camera?

Compare camera resolution, viewing angle and night vision. Among the kits in this guide, the EZVIZ HP7 Pro (4K) and the IMOU VDP7 (5MP) offer the highest resolution, while the EZVIZ HP7 (2K, 162°) shows visitors from head to toe.

What are the types of intercom systems?

4-wire analog, 2-wire, IP (PoE), hybrid, and wireless battery or solar intercoms. Each is explained above, and the right one depends mainly on the wiring at your door.

Does a video intercom work without internet?

Analog kits such as the Hikvision DS-KIS203 need no network or internet. In most wired smart kits, answering at the indoor screen works over the cable between the units, while phone alerts, remote answering and app unlocking need the internet.

Can I open the door from my phone?

Yes, with a smart intercom such as the EZVIZ HP7, Hikvision DS-KIS608-P or IMOU VDP7, if the door or gate has an electric lock or motor connected to the intercom and the system is online.

Can I replace an old intercom using the existing wires?

Often yes. If the old door phone uses two wires, a 2-wire kit such as the EZVIZ HP7 Pro or the 2-wire version of the IMOU VDP7 can usually reuse them; with four wires, a 4-wire kit such as the DS-KIS203 or the hybrid DS-KIS303-P fits. Check the condition of the cable and the product's installation requirements first.

How much does a video intercom cost in Jordan?

It depends on the type: a basic 4-wire kit costs less than a smart kit with an app, and face or palm recognition kits sit at the top. Prices change, so check the current price on each product page linked above.
