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.
Most West Lothian 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.
Typical West Lothian applications
Homes, gated properties, receptions, blocks of flats and any site that gets unexpected callers.
- Blocks of flats — digital directory panels, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window.
- Gated and yard sites — gate intercoms, long-range readers, barriers and ANPR for permit holders.
- Retrofit and repair — fault-finding on all common makes, with honest repair-versus-replace numbers.
- Schools and nurseries — controlled single points of entry, visitor management and safeguarding-aware layouts.
Scope of works
- Snapshot or clip capture of missed calls
- 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
- App forwarding needs reliable broadband at the property
- IK-rated panels are worth it on street-facing entrances
- A wide field of view matters more than megapixels at a doorway
From first call to handover
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. Every quote is itemised door by door, so you can see exactly what each opening costs before you commit.
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 West Lothian — questions
Do you install video intercom systems in West Lothian?
Yes. West Lothian 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 West Lothian?
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.
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.
Do you cover my area?
We cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland through our installation network, with regional engineers rather than one central team. Tell us the postcode when you enquire and we will confirm coverage and realistic attendance times.
Is access control suitable for a block of flats?
It is one of the most common applications. A digital directory panel, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window replace the shared code and the endless label changes. The communal system is usually the freeholder or managing agent's responsibility.
