Where video is useful
Video helps when residents or staff need to identify visitors before release, where the entrance is not visible, or where vulnerable users need a clearer decision.

What affects the design
Camera position, lighting, handset or screen locations, existing cable, number of users, accessibility and the required release hardware all influence the system.
App-connected systems
Some systems can route calls to phones, but app reliability depends on broadband, network design, vendor service and account ownership. We explain that dependency rather than hiding it.
Questions before you enquire
Common questions
Is video much more expensive than audio?
Usually, because the equipment and cabling requirements are greater. The calculator gives a labour guide and the hardware is itemised separately.
Can video entry link with CCTV?
They are normally separate systems, but commercial sites can plan camera coverage and access control together so the entrance, recording and staff procedures make sense.
