They roll down the window, press the button, and speak. No need to step out or aim a camera.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garages &amp; underground parking<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Often no Wi\u2011Fi or cellular signal underground. A wired audio intercom works every time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Construction sites &amp; job trailers<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Temporary installations that need rugged, simple communication. No network to configure, no fragile screen to break.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Service entrances for shops &amp; restaurants<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Delivery drivers press the button, staff answers, door unlocks. Fast, efficient, no distraction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apartment side gates<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A secondary entrance that does not require video; audio only is enough to confirm delivery or service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"built-for-reliability-even-in-harsh-conditions\">Built for Reliability \u2013 Even in Harsh Conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FARHD has been manufacturing audio intercoms for over 28 years. Our outdoor audio door stations are built to last:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>IP65 weatherproof<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Rain, snow, dust \u2013 no problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wide operating temperature<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 -40\u00b0C to +70\u00b0C.

No touchscreen, no menus \u2013 just pick up (or press a button) and talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"integration-with-your-existing-system\">Integration with Your Existing System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An audio intercom does not have to be a standalone island. FARHD audio door stations can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect to indoor audio handsets or video monitors (audio channel only).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trigger an electric lock (dry contact relay) \u2013 press a button on the indoor unit to open the gate or door.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work over existing 2\u2011wire or 4\u2011wire cabling \u2013 perfect for retrofits where pulling new cables is impractical.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also mix audio and video: install a video door station at the main entrance and audio\u2011only stations at side gates, all connected to the same indoor monitors or management system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-still-needs-audio-intercom\">Who Still Needs Audio Intercom?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Huiseigenaren met bestaande bedrading<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 No need to rewire the whole house.
