What it does
A video intercom adds a camera to the entrance panel and a screen inside, so you can identify a caller before releasing the door. Modern systems also forward the call to a phone app and store a snapshot of missed callers.
The County Down sites we fit this on are rarely starting from nothing. There is normally something already on the door, working badly or not at all, and the first real question is whether it is worth keeping.

Questions worth asking any installer
- IK-rated panels are worth it on street-facing entrances

How we deliver it
An engineer attends the site, checks each opening, confirms the cable route and establishes how the fire strategy affects the locking. You get a written quotation itemised per door with the hardware named. Nothing is ordered until you approve it. Every quote is itemised door by door, so you can see exactly what each opening costs before you commit.
Handover includes a tested fire release, a loaded user list, as-fitted details and the commissioning record — the paperwork your fire risk assessor and insurer will eventually ask for.

Video Intercom Systems in County Down — questions
Do you install video intercom systems in County Down?
Yes. County Down is part of our regular Northern Ireland coverage and video intercom systems is one of our core services. Give us the postcode and the number of doors when you enquire and we will confirm a survey slot.
What does video intercom systems cost in County Down?
Pricing is driven by door count and hardware rather than county. As a guide, a single controlled door lands between £750 and £1,500 installed, with multi-door sites working out at £600 to £1,100 per door. The survey is free and the written quote is fixed.
Does a video intercom need the internet?
Only for phone forwarding. The panel-to-handset call works entirely on its own wiring, so the door still works if the broadband drops.
Can I add video to an audio system I already have?
Sometimes. It depends on the cable count in the existing riser. We survey first and tell you honestly whether an upgrade or a replacement is the better spend.
How long does an access control system take to install?
A single door is normally half a day to a day. A typical 8 to 12 door commercial system takes two to four days on site, followed by a commissioning visit to load users, set access levels and hand over. Larger sites are phased so the building stays secure throughout.
Do you work on systems installed by someone else?
Yes. We repair, service and extend all common makes of access control, door entry and intercom, whoever installed them. If a system is genuinely beyond economic repair we will say so and show you the numbers for both options.
Does the door have to unlock when the fire alarm sounds?
On a designated escape route, yes. The locking must fail safe and release on alarm, free mechanical egress must be maintained, and every maglocked escape door needs a green emergency break-glass release. This is a life-safety requirement and we test it with the fire alarm at commissioning.
