Apartment intercom upgrade guide
An intercom that fails quietly is a security and service problem. Here is when to upgrade, and how to do it without upsetting residents.
Signs it is time
- Handsets or panels failing in only some units.
- No video, or no phone-app access.
- Parts no longer available (end-of-life system).
- Residents cannot receive deliveries or verify visitors.
Upgrade options
- Like-for-like — new handsets/panels on the same wiring where possible.
- Video entry — see and speak to visitors.
- Mobile (app) entry — answer and open from a phone.
Doing it without disruption
We stage the rollout — floor by floor or riser by riser — and keep the old system running until the new one is commissioned.
