This sounds like a rather interesting project!  I am not that familiar with Orange Pi yet, but it seems very doable.  It has been a long time since I have lived in an apartment, but I will say that a 'video' intercom system would have been extremely handy back then (we lived in the way-back of a 100 unit building, 2 stories -- at a fast walking pace it took 3-4 minutes to get to the front door, and the intercom system wasn't sufficient enough to ID the person by the sound of their voice).

A buttonless system with a TFT touchscreen on the receiving end would be nice.  It can display weather/forecast (could even be set as a calendar with reminders) and automatically switch to the camera view when someone pushes your button.  I'm not sure if you are actually planning this for an apartment, but you could also incorporate programmable climate control, rather than have multiple boxes on the wall.  You could also set up an Android app (sorry, I'm not very familiar with iPhone products) that alerts you and streams the video right to your phone, and can also give you the ability to open the door from where ever you are.

With RFID, you could even go completely keyless and implement electronic door locks.  This would also be able to be programmed to, say, lock or unlock at a specific time, or to operate the lock remotely (from your smartphone) if you might have forgotten to.

Is it worth connecting IP telephony to the company? We have a small company with 25 employees and 2 managers who take calls and call clients.

I read that IP telephony is quite expensive. But I read that a long time ago, maybe now things have changed. But still, I need some advice. IP telephony can make it easier for us to communicate with customers.

Connect this system without any hesitation. First of all, it is savings on equipment. For example, you do not need to buy more phones for managers. IP-telephony will allow you to control the quality of calls and even listen to them. An employee can very quickly call a client or receive a call, knowing who is calling him. We use voip phone system https://1voicetech.com/solutions/voip from this company. This allows you to save several times from the budget.
