What is an intercom answering panel?

Answering panels (or indoor monitors) are essentially the device that answers the call from a door intercom. So in applications such as apartment blocks, multi-tennant office buildings etc – each apartment or office requires an answering device to communicate with visitors at the entrance to the building and as required, provide remote access.
