Amazon offers the perfect device to transform almost any classic intercom into a connected doorbell, with all the possibilities that go with it. With Ring Intercom, you can open the door of your building to a delivery person, even when you are not there. It is currently on sale at €50 instead of €130.
Smart doorbells are now essential in homes that want to be connected. But it’s difficult to access it when you live in an apartment. An exterior module will need to replace the intercom panel at the entrance to your building.
But this is where Ring Intercom comes into play. This device offered by the Amazon subsidiary will make your life much easier. Like a Chromecast that transforms old televisions into connected TVs, the Intercom connects to the internal handset of your intercom and that changes everything. No installation needs to be done on the plate at the bottom of the building.
Ring intercom: easy installation, without the intervention of a professional
The device comes in the form of a small box barely larger than a switch. It attaches to the wall, a few centimeters from the intercom. You will first need to open the two devices and connect them wired.
Ring (Amazon) offers a tool kit in the box along with instructions that make it easy for you to do the installation yourself. This should take about half an hour, but it all depends on your handset. Some models are easier to disassemble than others.
Note that although Ring promises Intercom compatibility with the vast majority of traditional intercom handsets, you should still check that your model is compatible by carrying out a test at this address.
Unlock your building door with your smartphone or Alexa
This is one of the Ring Intercom’s most useful features. No need to be at home or go to the intercom to open to a visitor downstairs in the building. Thanks to the Ring application, you can communicate with it from your smartphone or using Alexa, even when you are miles from home.
The device is also useful for families. It is in fact possible to share control of the intercom with members of your household. Any authorized user will be able to answer or open the front door of the building.
Ring Intercom also allows you to receive packages more easily. You will be able to manage your schedule with less stress when you are waiting for a delivery person. Simply open it remotely when you are not there and he can leave the package in front of your door, in a secure location that you have indicated to him or simply at the neighbor’s house when possible.
When it comes to a package delivered by Amazon, it’s even simpler. Thanks to automatic delivery verification, you can benefit from secure delivery within a specific time limit. The delivery person will request access authorization from the application. The device then verifies its identity, the route traveled and the time of the request.
If the authentication is successful, the latter will be able to access the building without you having to intervene. If you have any details to make regarding the delivery of the package, they should be given in advance in the delivery instructions. Once the delivery has been made, the delivery person will no longer be able to access the building.
