Video intercom systems for Vancouver buildings
Many Vancouver buildings still run an Enterphone or another phone-line buzzer, while new towers expect app-based entry from day one. We install and support video intercoms across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey and the rest of the Lower Mainland.
Strata councils want an entrance that’s easy for residents and keeps the front door and parkade secure, and property managers want a directory they can update from anywhere. We plan the panel, the door release and the delivery process together.
Serving Vancouver and the Lower Mainland as part of our Alberta and BC service area.

What goes into a Lower Mainland intercom quote.
Entrances
Each door, parkade entrance and gate that visitors use needs a panel or a door release.

Retrofit or new build
Retrofits can often reuse the old wiring, while new towers are planned with the other trades.
Fob system link
Letting the intercom and fobs share doors and residents adds programming.

Video intercom questions in Vancouver
Can you replace an Enterphone in a Vancouver building?
Yes. We replace Enterphones and other phone-line buzzers with video intercoms, often reusing the existing wiring, and give the strata council written options first.
Do you cover Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey and North Vancouver?
Yes. We install intercoms across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
Why do intercom quotes vary in Vancouver?
The number of entrances and gates, the panel type, retrofit or new build, and the software plan.
Can you take over an intercom another company installed?
Yes. Where the building owns it, we regain admin access and support it.
What about residents without a smartphone?
Many of the intercoms we install can ring a regular phone number, so they can still answer.
Can the lobby and parkade be watched overnight?
Yes. Our monitoring partner can watch lobby and parkade entrance cameras live after hours.
Do you work with developers on new towers?
Yes. We plan panels, door releases, cable and power with your trades before the walls close.
