# Intercom

**Overview**\
Verkada Intercom is a cloud-managed video and audio entry system that lets you manage building access from a single interface. It combines live video, two-way audio, and door control so you can see visitors, communicate with them, and grant access securely. The platform integrates with cameras, access control, and other Verkada products, providing a unified approach to building security.

This collection provides detailed guidance on installing and configuring Intercom devices, managing user access and permissions, monitoring activity, and maintaining reliable system performance.
