Intercoms are integrated into the system either manually or automatically. The method used is determined by the intercom vendor.
While specific management features are vendor-dependent, this section focuses on the base setup and universal functions common to all supported hardware.
For detailed vendor-specific integration and management and the most current list of compatible intercom vendors, please reach out via our Contact Page.
To add a new intercom, make sure you have enough licenses. For this, check the Licenses section.
Automatically
Initially, the operation is executed within the vendor’s system. Following the exchange of API requests, the intercom is automatically added to VMS. This can be tracked in the Intercoms section.
Manually
Manual entry is available in the VMS Administrator client > Devices > Intercom tree from within the branch assigned as the Branch of the house.
To add an intercom manually, select the branch where you want to add an intercom and select Add intercom. You can also use the branch context menu: hover over the branch, open the menu, and choose Add intercom.
