Intercoms & Access Control
Control who comes through your gates
An automated gate is only as useful as the system that controls it. See and speak to visitors before you open the gate. Let regular callers in with a code, without getting up. Manage entry from your phone when you are not at home. These are the things that make automation truly convenient.
And they can be added to an automated gate you already have.
We install intercom and access control systems as part of new gate automation projects and as upgrades to existing automated gates. Options include video intercoms you can answer on your smartphone, keypads and code entry, proximity readers and fobs, and apps that let you open the gates and review a history of access events.
Video intercoms
A video intercom lets you see and speak to anyone at your gate before deciding whether to let them in. Modern systems display the image on an indoor screen and on your smartphone, so you can answer from the kitchen, the office, or the other side of the world.
We install systems with sharp camera quality that works well in daylight and at night, clear two-way audio, and reliable wireless connectivity for smartphone integration.
Multiple indoor screens can be installed for larger homes, and some systems support recording so you have a log of who has visited.
Keypads and code entry
Keypad entry is a simple, convenient option for people who need regular access without calling through on the intercom each time.
You assign a code to regular visitors, tradespeople or family members, allowing them to let themselves in without needing a physical key or remote control.
Codes can be changed whenever arrangements change (for example, once building work is finished or a visitor no longer needs access), helping you stay in control of who can enter your property.
Proximity reader and fobs
For hands-free access, proximity readers allow authorised users to open the gate by holding a fob or card near the reader. This is particularly convenient for residents who do not want to wind down their car window in the rain to enter a code.
Smartphone control
Many of the systems we install include smartphone apps that let you open and close your gates remotely, answer the intercom from anywhere, and review a history of access events. This level of control is increasingly expected by homeowners and is standard on most of our recent installations.
