Method and system for providing video intercom transmission of images

A method for providing IP video intercom transmission of a video image from surveillance cameras of a standard intercom system, the standard intercom system not having a feature of video image transmission, the method comprising:

• installing at least one IP camera for transmitting a video stream to an IP video monitor of a user, the IP video monitor being installed in a user's apartment, outside of a building's entrance door and/or in a lobby and/or outside of a user's entrance door;
• and
• providing the user's apartment with the standard intercom system equipment not featuring video image transmission, wherein said standard intercom system equipment comprises:
• control elements for opening a door, control elements for conducting audio communication with a visitor and a channel for receiving an analog electrical signal on calling the user from at least one electrical signal actuator:
• said channel for receiving the analog electrical signal on calling the user is connected to the user's IP video monitor serving to process said analog electrical signal so that it is a signal only for activating video displaying on the IP video monitor from at least one IP camera;
• the user's IP video monitor being connected to an analog electrical line of electrical signal actuators not incorporated in said standard intercom system;
• wherein an analog electrical calling signal from at least one electrical signal actuator not incorporated in said standard intercom system is also a signal only for activating video displaying on the user's IP video monitor from at least one IP camera;
• wherein video stream displaying from at least one IP camera on the user's IP video monitor is conducted via a Wi-Fi network installed in the user's apartment and/or via data communication networks available to the user, including femtocells available to the user;
• wherein at least one IP camera is connected to a router set up in such a way that such router and/or at least one IP camera are accessible from the Internet;
• and
• wherein when video transmission is activated on the user's IP video monitor, the user may control the video intercom transmission process on their IP video monitor, and when the user IP video monitor is connected to the standard intercom system channel, the equipment installed in the user's apartment is dismantled, and the functions of door opening and audio communication are performed by the IP video monitor.
