Video intercom systems for Nanaimo buildings
New strata and rental buildings in North Nanaimo and Lantzville, student rentals near Vancouver Island University and older buildings downtown all need an entrance that’s easy for residents and secure for everyone. We install and support video intercoms across Nanaimo.
Many older buildings still run a phone-line buzzer. We replace them with video panels that call residents’ phones, often on the existing wiring, and plan the door release and deliveries together.
Serving Nanaimo and central Vancouver Island as part of our Alberta and BC service area.
