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.
Most Renfrewshire enquiries for this arrive after something went wrong — a break-in, a shared code that spread, or a door that was propped open for months. The system is the fix, but the survey is where it is decided properly.

How we deliver it
We look at the doors before we price them. That means measuring cable runs properly, checking whether the frame will take a maglock, and confirming with your fire documentation which openings must fail safe. The quotation that follows is fixed. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.
Commissioning is part of the job, not an extra visit. You finish with a working system, a tested fire interface, and a named person on your team who knows how to administer it.

Video Intercom Systems in Renfrewshire — questions
Do you install video intercom systems in Renfrewshire?
Yes. Renfrewshire is part of our regular Scotland 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 Renfrewshire?
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.
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.
Can lost fobs be cancelled?
Yes, instantly. You delete the credential in the software and it stops working the next time it is presented. There are no locks to change and no cost, which is the main practical reason buildings move from keys to access control.
Can I answer the door entry from my phone?
Yes. App-connected panels forward the call to your mobile with video, so you can see who is there and release the door from anywhere with a signal. The panel-to-handset call still works on its own wiring if broadband drops.
