MORE THAN A BUZZER
Your entrance sets the tone.
Give visitors a clear way to reach a resident or reception—and give the person answering a better way to decide who comes in.
More informed decisions
Speak with visitors before releasing the door. Video-capable systems can add a view of the caller.
Control that fits daily life
Choose how calls are answered and who manages the system, with the door hardware considered from the start.
EXPLORE THE VISITOR JOURNEY
From “I’m here” to “Come on in.”
Try a simple video-entry example. Features and call destinations depend on the selected system.
Choose a resident or reception.
The visitor uses the entrance directory or call button to reach the right person. Call destinations are configured for the building.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT CONNECTION
Three ways to answer the door.
Match the system to your residents, staff, existing wiring and communication service.
App services, remote management and ongoing communication costs vary by product and configuration. We confirm what is included in your quote.
APARTMENT BUZZER REPLACEMENT
Give an older entrance
a fresh start.
Unreliable calls? An ageing panel? A directory that is difficult to update?
We begin with the existing wiring, power, phone or network service and door-release hardware. That tells us whether a straightforward replacement is possible or whether the supporting infrastructure needs work.
Keep what still works
Existing wiring and door equipment are assessed for compatibility before reuse is proposed.
Plan the changeover
Coordinate resident information, access arrangements, testing and handover with the building manager.
THE WHOLE ENTRANCE
The call is one part of the system.
The panel, lock, door closer, power supply and communication path need to work together.
Door release
Coordinate the intercom with suitable electric locking hardware and its power supply. We assess the interface and how the door closes and latches.
Fobs & credentials
Give authorised residents or staff their own entry method. Common-door access and visitor calls can be planned together.
Access control & fob entry ↗Automatic-door interfaces
Where required, coordinate release with the automatic-door contractor, the agreed opening sequence and accessibility and exit requirements.
Access control & automatic-door integration ↗Reliable communications
Check cabling, network connections and telephone or internet service. We discuss connection failures and backup power during the design.
Networking & Wi-Fi ↗BUILT AROUND YOUR PROPERTY
One entrance—or a whole building.
Strata & apartments
Resident directories, suite call destinations and a practical process for move-ins and move-outs.
Offices & commercial
Reception calls, staff entry, delivery doors and after-hours arrangements.
Gates & separate entrances
Visitor communication away from the main building, with power and connection distances assessed.
Community facilities
Clear visitor arrival, authorised staff access and local administrators identified for handover.
PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT. PRACTICAL CHOICES.
Mircom & Aiphone options.

Questions building managers ask.
Can residents answer on a mobile phone?
Some telephone-entry systems call a resident’s phone number. Selected video-intercom systems use a compatible app. These are different approaches; we confirm supported devices, subscriptions and communication requirements before quoting.
Can you reuse our existing wiring?
Sometimes. We check cable type, condition, routes and replacement-system requirements. Wiring is reused only where it suits the agreed design.
Can it work with our existing fob system?
We assess the intercom, controller, locking hardware and power supply together. Compatible release interfaces may allow the systems to work alongside each other; compatibility is confirmed for the actual equipment.
Who updates resident names and call destinations?
We agree the administration process with the building manager. Handover includes appropriate user access and guidance for tasks supported by the selected system.
What happens if the internet or power goes down?
That depends on the communication service, equipment, backup power and door hardware. We discuss outage behaviour and exit arrangements during the assessment.
What should we send for an initial quote?
Entrance and panel photos, the location, number of suites or call destinations, door-release details and known wiring or phone-service information. For a new build, drawings and the door schedule are useful.
