Video Intercoms & Entry

Typical intercom projects we handle

Multifamily and condo buildings. Replacing old audio-only buzzers with video door stations, indoor monitors and mobile app access.
Single-family homes and townhomes. Adding video entry at front doors and gates with clean integration into the existing network.
Mixed-use properties. Entry systems where commercial tenants and residential units share or separate doors and call flows.

What a complete video intercom system includes

Door stations. Cameras, call buttons and name/tenant directory at the main entrance, side doors or gates.
Indoor stations and apps. Wall-mounted indoor monitors, mobile apps or both – depending on how residents prefer to answer.
Door unlock control. Integration with electric strikes, maglocks or access control controllers, so intercoms unlock the right doors.
Network and power. Proper PoE switches, cabling and surge protection so the system stays stable in Chicago weather.

Designed for real buildings, not just demo kits

Many intercom solutions look good in brochures but struggle in real buildings: noisy audio, poor camera angles, unreliable apps or confusing directories.

We design systems around your entrance layout, lighting conditions and resident expectations – so calls are clear, cameras actually show faces, and people understand how to use the system.

Integration with access control and cameras

Use the same credentials for door readers and intercom doors.
Link intercom events with nearby cameras for incident review.
Allow managers to unlock doors remotely during deliveries or service calls.

What matters for Chicago-area intercom installs

Weather and vandal resistance. Door stations must handle wind, snow and temperature swings, and still look presentable at the front entrance.
Clean wiring paths. We use existing risers when possible and add new cabling in a way that respects the building and future service needs.
Resident onboarding. For multifamily projects we help boards and managers with simple instructions on how to use apps, buzzers and indoor stations.

If your current intercom is failing, too noisy or simply outdated, we can help you plan a phased upgrade that fits your budget and makes everyday entry smoother for residents, guests and delivery drivers.
