Renovation of old residential intercom systems: Cloud intercom is the best choice

2017-04-20

Many people would likely say no to installing an automated control system at home, but with the advancement of technology, this impossibility has been completely overturned. Whether it's a newly purchased commercial housing or an old residential area renovation, access control intercom systems are no longer unfamiliar to everyone. Nowadays, many older residential areas' building intercom equipment is becoming obsolete due to aging products, manufacturers ceasing production, etc., rendering the old intercoms useless. Some communities even leave the downstairs gate open for convenience, making the security function virtually nonexistent. This not only disrupts residents' daily lives but also hinders the appreciation of the community's property value.

Traditional intercoms in older residential areas have wires buried in the walls, and the wiring is chaotic, leading to high repair difficulty, long construction periods, and high repair costs, often reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars. Both residents and property management are unwilling to bear this cost, which has become a source of conflict between them.
  
  Even if some community property management is willing to pay for repairs, this temporary fix cannot cure the long-term hidden dangers of traditional intercoms. If the intercom breaks down again, the same problem will be faced once more. How to renovate the traditional building intercoms in older residential areas has become a headache for property management.
  
  Yixiu New Village in Shenzhen used the cloud intercom smart community renovation solution launched by Yunjiang Technology for its community renovation. This case has broadened the thinking of property management in renovating traditional intercoms and has been widely praised by residents and property management. The core of this is the cloud intercom.
  
  Cloud intercoms use mobile phones to replace indoor units, eliminating the need for wiring to each household, and shortening the renovation cycle. Each unit only needs to install one cloud intercom device, changing the trouble of traditional intercoms where 1000 users install 1000 indoor units, reducing construction costs by 80%!
  
  If a cloud intercom malfunctions, only the unit entrance machine needs to be checked, eliminating the trouble of checking each household, greatly reducing the workload of maintenance. In addition, if a malfunction occurs due to network problems, the network operator will be responsible for the later network maintenance. Cloud intercoms eliminate complicated after-sales service, making property management more worry-free.
  
  So how exactly does the cloud intercom system work? Linlu Technology's technical manager, Wang Biao, introduced two usage scenarios:
  
  Visitor visit - When a visitor calls, they only need to enter the called door number, and the call will be automatically routed to the user's mobile phone. The cloud intercom supports audio and video calls between the mobile phone and the visitor. After confirming the identity, the visitor can be directly granted access through the mobile phone. During this period, the visitor's image will be automatically captured and saved, greatly improving security effectiveness.
  
  Homeowner returning home - When a homeowner returns home, they only need to take out their mobile phone, enter the application, and click the unlock button, and the door will automatically open. This technology is in line with the living habits of modern young people, using mobile phones to solve all problems. If the mobile phone runs out of power, there is no need to worry, as property management can be called to unlock the door.
  
  At the same time, Wang Biao also shared two heartwarming scenarios during use:
  
  1. Parents go out for a walk after dinner, and their child returns home without a key. The parents can use the cloud intercom on their mobile phone to remotely open the door, eliminating the need to rush home, making it easy to go out without worry.
  
  2. The child is taking a midday nap at home, and the parents are watching over them. Suddenly, someone visits, and the doorbell rings loudly, waking the sleeping child, and even younger children may start crying incessantly. With the cloud intercom, it's a different scene. The cloud intercom will call the parents' mobile phones, and they can simply open the door for the visitor with one click. This quiet operation will not disturb the resting child.
  
  This modern and intelligent intercom system greatly enhances the user experience and effectively resolves conflicts between residents and property management. In addition to the access control function, the cloud intercom system also statistically analyzes the residents' entry and exit data. For example, if an elderly person lives in a certain household and there is no entry and exit record for several consecutive days, the system will issue an alarm prompt, and the property management or community police will promptly visit to inquire, preventing accidents involving elderly people living alone. Similarly, if the household's daily entry and exit is abnormally frequent and the visitors are numerous, the system will also send a prompt to the property management and local police, effectively combating illegal dens such as pyramid schemes, prostitution, and gambling in the community.
  
  More importantly, cloud intercoms reduce property management's security costs. Usually, when outsiders enter and leave the community, such as couriers and delivery personnel, security guards need to intercept them, inquire about their identities, and register visitors. However, the wall-mounted machine launched by the cloud intercom relies on intelligent card swiping identification, eliminating the need for manual intervention throughout the process, eliminating the manual registration process, saving property management security costs, and significantly improving the security level.
  
  The functions of cloud intercoms go beyond this. Many communities now have their own property management apps, but due to low download rates and poor user stickiness, the client is essentially defunct. As I understand it, the cloud intercom system can be integrated into the property management app, and relying on the monitoring and unlocking functions of the cloud intercom, the property management app becomes an indispensable tool for residents' daily lives, greatly enhancing user stickiness. If the property management does not have an app, Linlu Technology can provide the property management with a professional micro-manager property assistant system. This system not only uses the cloud intercom security function to attract users, but also uses the red envelope system to increase user activity and the discount treasure system to make the property management app a payment tool for residents' daily lives, bringing a large amount of capital flow to the property management company.
  
  This intelligent renovation solution for older residential areas upgrades the community intercom and security systems through technological transformation, turning the useless building intercom into a highlight of the community, significantly improving property management's interests, and making the community safer under the protection of intelligent devices.
