The short version
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.
What decides this job in Leicestershire is rarely the brand on the reader. It is the door leaf, the frame, the closer and the fire strategy — which is exactly why we survey before putting a number on anything.
Typical Leicestershire applications
Homes, gated properties, receptions, blocks of flats and any site that gets unexpected callers.
- Schools and nurseries — controlled single points of entry, visitor management and safeguarding-aware layouts.
- Healthcare and care homes — step-free automated entry, staff-only zones and fail-safe escape routes.
- Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.
- Retail and hospitality — back-of-house control, cash-office restriction and CCTV-linked door events.
Scope of works
- Optional integrated fob reader on the same panel
- Wide-angle camera with infrared for night identification
- Colour touchscreen monitors, additional handsets where needed
What to insist on
- IK-rated panels are worth it on street-facing entrances
- A wide field of view matters more than megapixels at a doorway
- Check how many indoor monitors the panel supports before you buy
From first call to handover
Nothing gets priced from a phone call. An engineer walks the doors, notes what is there, works out what has to change, and puts it in writing with the hardware named and the per-door cost shown. Written quotation, clear scope, and a commissioning handover that includes the documentation you will be asked for later.
After install the system is commissioned, the fire interface is tested against the alarm, your users are loaded and the documentation is handed over on the day rather than chased later.

Video Intercom Systems in Leicestershire — questions
Do you install video intercom systems in Leicestershire?
Yes. Leicestershire is part of our regular England 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 Leicestershire?
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.
What maintenance does an access control system need?
One or two service visits a year for most commercial sites. Each visit should cover door-by-door inspection, lock and release testing, fire interface verification, battery and power checks, and a user-list review, with a written report you can give your fire risk assessor.
Can access control be linked to CCTV?
Yes, where both systems support a common integration. Every door event gets a matching video bookmark, so instead of scrubbing hours of footage you click the event and watch it. We check compatibility at survey before anything is ordered.
How much does access control installation cost in the UK?
A single controlled door with a reader, lock and controller typically costs between £750 and £1,500 installed. Multi-door systems usually work out between £600 and £1,100 per door, because the controller and software cost is shared across the doors. Door hardware, cable runs and any fire alarm interfacing move the figure most, which is why we survey before quoting rather than pricing blind.
