Background of the Renovation
Nowadays, the intercom devices in numerous old residential communities have become non-functional due to product aging, production discontinuation or the bankruptcy of original manufacturers. Even in some communities, the ground-floor entrance doors are left unlocked all year round for the convenience of entry and exit, rendering the security functions ineffective. This not only disrupts the daily lives of residents but also hinders the appreciation of the community’s real estate and property values.
The traditional access control and intercom systems in old communities have their wiring embedded in the walls with a messy layout, leading to high maintenance difficulty, long construction periods and exorbitant repair costs. Neither residents nor property management is willing to bear such expenses, making the renovation cost a major source of conflict between them.
Key Causes of System Failure
- Natural product aging: Intercom and access control systems that have been in use for more than 8 years suffer from aging electronic components and a high failure rate.
- Poor product quality: Developers originally opted for low-cost, uncertified systems to cut expenses, resulting in frequent malfunctions.
- Product discontinuation: System upgrades and iterations have led to the discontinuation of original products, making maintenance and after-sales service unavailable.
- Inadequate property maintenance: Weak technical capabilities of property management teams or the absence of professional property services have left community equipment without regular maintenance, leading to complete system breakdown.
