Our advanced video intercom systems enhance security by adding visual verification to traditional audio communication through high-definition cameras connected to internal monitors. These systems allow you to both see and speak with visitors before granting access, with excellent image quality even in low-light conditions thanks to infrared or LED illumination. Available with colour displays in various sizes, wall-mounted units or handsets, these systems provide substantial security benefits through visual confirmation capabilities. Video intercoms are increasingly popular for both residential homes and commercial premises across our service regions.

Our wireless intercom systems offer outstanding installation flexibility, particularly valuable for existing properties where running new cables would be disruptive, unsightly, or prohibitively expensive. These systems utilise radio frequency technology or Wi-Fi for communication between components, eliminating the need for extensive wiring work whilst maintaining reliable performance. Ideal for listed buildings, completed properties, or situations where minimal disruption is essential, wireless intercoms combine modern functionality with straightforward installation. Some wireless systems can route calls directly to mobile phones or landlines, providing ultimate remote access capabilities.

Specifically designed for flats, office complexes, and multi-occupancy properties, our multi-tenant intercom systems efficiently manage access for numerous individual units. These robust solutions feature visitor directories, dedicated communication lines to each residence or office, and centralised management capabilities for comprehensive building control. Available with audio-only or video functionality, these systems can accommodate anywhere from a few units to hundreds of separate residences or offices. We specialise in designing user-friendly multi-tenant systems that balance security with convenient visitor management for professional entrance experiences.

Our Intercom Installation Process

1

Initial Consultation & Free Site Survey

Your journey towards enhanced access control begins with a comprehensive, no-obligation consultation and property assessment. Our intercom specialists will visit your property at a convenient time to discuss your specific requirements, concerns, and preferences. During this thorough site survey, we'll assess your property's entry points, evaluate existing electrical infrastructure, consider communication requirements between access points and internal units, and identify the most suitable system types for your needs. For multi-tenant properties, we'll carefully examine directory requirements and user management considerations. This detailed assessment allows us to recommend the most appropriate intercom solution for your unique circumstances. We take pride in offering honest, expert advice without any pressure to proceed.

2

Custom System Design & Detailed Quotation

Following your site survey, our team creates a bespoke intercom system design tailored specifically to your property and requirements. This personalised plan considers optimal placement for external panels and internal units, appropriate technology selection (audio, video, wired, wireless), integration with existing door release mechanisms or gate controllers, and any additional features like smartphone connectivity or multiple user management. We'll present this comprehensive design alongside a clear, transparent quotation that details all costs involved, including equipment, installation labour, and any additional works required. Our no-hidden-costs approach ensures you understand exactly what you're paying for before making any commitment.

Professional Installation by Certified Technicians

Upon approval of your design and quotation, our experienced security technicians will implement your intercom system with the highest standards of professionalism and workmanship. All our installation specialists are fully qualified, extensively experienced, and security-vetted for your peace of mind. For wired systems, we take great care to conceal cables neatly within walls or trunking where necessary. With wireless installations, we strategically position components to ensure optimal signal strength and coverage. Throughout the process, we maintain a clean, tidy work environment, using dust sheets, wearing shoe covers when appropriate, and thoroughly cleaning up after completion. Our meticulous approach ensures minimal disruption to your daily activities while delivering an immaculate, professional installation.

4

User Training & Handover

We believe that security technology is only effective when users understand how to operate it properly. That's why we provide thorough, patient training for you and any additional users on all aspects of your new intercom system. Our engineers demonstrate system operation, user management (adding/removing access credentials if applicable), remote access features, and any maintenance procedures you should be aware of. We ensure you're completely comfortable managing visitor calls, granting access, and utilising any additional features your system includes. We provide clear user manuals and quick reference guides, along with our direct contact information should you have any questions after we leave.
