In the heart of the city, construction had begun on a striking skyscraper, destined to become a city landmark with its stylish and futuristic exterior design. The building was planned to accommodate a hotel, residential apartments, offices, and commercial facilities. The design consultant was especially focused on ensuring that the interior design harmonized with the building's stylish exterior. They had a strong desire for a sophisticated and stylish intercom room station as an integral part of the interior design.
To enhance security, an intercom system was needed where front desk staff would manage initial interactions with visitors. Visitors and residents would only communicate if residents granted permission. This required an intercom system capable of implementing these features.
Based on the design consultant's recommendation, the owner selected an advanced IP video intercom system that met the project's requirements. Prior to the owner's decision, the design consultant was shown an actual intercom system during a presentation and greatly appreciated the stylish design of the entrance and room station, which influenced recommendation of the system.
The desired communication mode was achieved using the IP video intercom system's transfer function. When visitors called from an entrance station to a guard station, a staff member verified the purpose and, upon approval, used the transfer function to connect the visitor directly with the resident for communication.
In many countries and cities, the trend towards constructing tall buildings and urban verticalization accompanying city development has become quite common. Especially in densely populated areas and growing economies, there's a trend to maximize space by building upwards due to limited land availability.
With the development of cities and economic growth, skyscrapers are being constructed for various purposes such as commercial, residential, office, and tourism. Cities with numerous skyscrapers can be found worldwide, like New York, Chicago, Dubai, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. Especially in cities that serve as centers for business and finance, skyscrapers are employed as symbols of the city, exemplified by landmarks like New York's Empire State Building, Dubai's Burj Khalifa, and Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Twin Towers.
The intercom system of a skyscraper, which could potentially become a symbol of the city, requires consideration not only of functionality and price but also design, installation methods, and product quality. Given that intercoms are intended for long-term use, they must enhance both the building's exterior and interior aesthetics. Additionally, the overall quality of construction and the product greatly influence the necessity for maintenance. Since multiple stakeholders such as owners, residents, and management companies are involved in replacing the intercom system within a building, it requires a considerable amount of time and effort. Hence, evaluating costs from a long-term perspective is essential, rather than focusing solely on the initial equipment price.
