What is a door entry intercom system?

A door entry intercom system puts a call station at the entrance so visitors can identify themselves before they're let in. Staff or residents see and talk to the visitor, then unlock the door remotely with a button, an app, or the access control system.
Video intercoms add a camera so you can confirm who's there, and each call and door release can be logged. It's often the first step toward full access control, and it works alongside card readers and security cameras.

What our door entry systems do

Every entrance gets a way to screen visitors and a record of who was let in.

Video intercoms

Visitors press a button, and staff see and hear them before deciding to open the door, from a desk station or a phone.

Remote door release

Unlock an entrance for a delivery or a known visitor from anywhere, without walking to the door.

Keyless entry

Replace keys with codes, cards, fobs, or phones, and turn access on or off as people come and go.

Multi-entrance systems

Connect every door and building to one cloud-based system, so one person can answer calls for the whole property.

Visitor screening

Reception and security teams screen visitors before they enter, and video lets them confirm identity at a glance.

Biometric options

Facial recognition and other biometric readers can let enrolled staff in automatically, while guests still use the intercom.
