Smart Door Entry & Intercom Systems
See, speak and unlock from anywhere
A modern door entry system lets you see who is at your door, speak to visitors and unlock doors or gates from anywhere.
Video intercoms connected to your smartphone allow you to answer the door even when you are away from home, making everyday access simple and convenient.
Door Entry Systems for Modern Homes
Modern homes increasingly use video intercom systems to manage who enters the property. From a simple front door panel to a fully integrated smart entry solution connected to gates, locks and home automation, these systems make everyday access easier to manage.
Many solutions now connect directly to your smartphone, allowing you to see visitors, speak with them and open the door or gate remotely. Whether you are at home or away, you remain in control of who can enter your property.
At Uni-Lec Pro AV we design and install smart intercom and entry solutions for homes across Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall. Our installations integrate neatly with your property and can also work alongside wider smart home technologies such as Control4 automation and whole-home networking systems.
Gate Intercom Systems for Driveways and Entrances
For properties with driveways or electric gates, a gate intercom system provides convenient control before visitors reach the house.
Gate entry systems are particularly useful for larger properties or homes set back from the road, where it may not be practical to physically answer the gate each time someone arrives.
When professionally installed, a gate intercom system can be integrated with your home network, allowing access via smartphones, touchscreens or wall keypads throughout the property.
These systems can also connect with CCTV cameras, lighting and smart home automation to provide a complete security solution for your home.
Many systems also provide two-way audio and smartphone notifications, allowing you to speak with visitors and manage entry from anywhere.

Professional Door Entry System Installation
Installing a door entry system involves far more than simply fitting a camera beside your door.
