INTERCOM SERVICES
Screen visitors, manage deliveries and control entry at home or work. One licensed electrician handles your intercom, cabling, door release and app setup, from the first quote to the final test.
See and speak to visitors before opening your door. We fit a camera, call button and indoor screen, with night vision for evening callers. Extra screens can be installed upstairs or in a granny flat to suit your home.
Answer visitors and manage deliveries from your phone, even when you’re out. We connect the intercom to your home network, preferably using cable for reliability, then set up and test the app on each household phone before handing over.
Let visitors call individual units and residents release the entry door from a screen or phone. We replace outdated audio panels and coordinate the building’s changeover with your strata manager, keeping residents connected throughout the planned intercom installation work.
See and speak to visitors at your driveway, then open a compatible gate from your screen or phone. We use protected cabling for shorter runs or a 4G intercom for distant gates, avoiding lengthy trenches on larger rural properties.
Answer reception, staff entrances or loading docks without walking to the door. Calls can reach desk stations, handsets or a manager’s phone. We fit durable door stations and plan cabling around your trading hours to minimise disruption to business.
Upgrade crackly audio or obsolete handsets to a modern video intercom. Suitable existing wires can often support a new 2-wire system, avoiding opened walls. We test the cable first and replace it only where needed for reliable system operation.
FIND YOUR FIT
Intercom systems differ in how they carry sound, video and power. Here’s how the main types compare:
a speaker and call button with no camera. Lower in cost and fine for a back gate or warehouse door, but you can’t see who’s calling.
Already have an intercom? Keep its model number handy when you enquire.
Electrical work is easy to get wrong and hard to see once the walls are closed. Here’s what you get when it’s done properly.
CLEAR PRICING
Intercom problems tend to show up in a few familiar ways, and most can be traced in a single visit:
A photo of your door station, screen or gate helps us understand the fault.
moisture inside the door station, a failed camera or a loose connection
a damaged cable, a corroded terminal or a power supply on its way out
a worn electric strike, a sticking latch or a gate motor input that has lost its connection
Dead after a storm: a power surge through the supply or the indoor screen App no longer ringing: a new modem, a changed Wi-Fi password or an NBN switchover that dropped the door station off the network Weather or impact damage: a cracked gate station or a sun-faded screen after years outdoors
The details behind a reliable intercom system.
DONE PROPERLY
One licensed electrician looks after the cabling, installation and handover.
An intercom needs a power supply, cable runs and sometimes a new power point, as well as the door hardware. With one licensed electrician handling all of it, there’s no waiting on a second trade and only one number to call later.
Cable runs through wall cavities, ceilings and conduit wherever the building allows, so there’s no plastic trunking stuck across your hallway. Double brick and older homes are checked at the site visit.
The quote covers equipment, labour and cabling, and it’s agreed before work begins. Decide on the day that you’d like a second screen? It’s priced and approved by you before it goes in.
Need to add a phone to the app, change the ringtone or move a screen down the track? A quick call sorts most questions, and bigger changes can be booked in without starting from scratch.
FROM FIRST CALL TO HANDOVER
A site check, a written price and a system ready to use.
Send a few photos of the front door, gate or old intercom, and mention who will use it and how you’d like to answer, whether on a screen, your phone or both.
The door frame, cable route, power supply and gate motor are checked on site. You then receive a written quote listing the door station, indoor screens, lock release and any extra cabling, with nothing left vague.
Cable is hidden inside walls, through ceilings or in conduit, the door station and screens are mounted level and sealed against the weather, and the electric strike or gate connection is wired in and adjusted. Every call, screen and release is tested from both sides of the door, and the app is set up on each phone. You’re shown how to answer, unlock, change the volume and check missed calls before the job is signed off.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Tell us about your door, gate or existing intercom.
The price depends on the type of system, how many indoor screens you need, how far and how easily the cable can run, and whether a door strike or gate connection is included. Replacing an old intercom on its existing cable is usually the most straightforward job. You get a written quote after the site check, before anything is booked.
Yes, and more than ever. Online shopping means more deliveries, and a video intercom lets you talk to a courier or a stranger without opening the door. Many homeowners now choose a wired video intercom over a battery doorbell camera because it never needs charging and can unlock the door for you.
Yes. Most intercom faults are electrical: a failed power supply, damaged cable, a corroded connection or a lock release that has stopped working. An electrician can test the whole system, repair what’s worth saving and replace the door station or screen if parts are no longer available.
There isn’t one best system for every home. For most houses, a 2-wire or IP video intercom with app calling is the sweet spot. Look for a brand with Australian support and spare parts, a weather-rated door station and a screen size you’ll actually use, and you’ll get advice to suit your door and the way you want to answer.
Often, yes. Many modern 2-wire video intercoms are built to run on the pair of wires an old audio system used. The cable is tested first and only replaced if it’s damaged or too old to carry video reliably.
In most cases, yes. The gate station is wired to the trigger input on your gate motor, so pressing release on your screen or in the app opens the gate. Compatibility with your motor is checked during the site visit.
Tell us about the door, gate or building and how you'd like to answer. We'll arrange a site check and a written price. Call 0450 406 450 or send your enquiry below.
Planning security cameras or an alarm as well? They can go in on the same visit.
