Intercom and Access Control FAQs
Can I upgrade an old audio intercom to a modern video system?
In many cases, yes. Some new systems can reuse existing cabling, while others need new cables to
support video or extra features. An installer will check your current wiring, handset locations and
door hardware before recommending suitable upgrade options and explaining any extra work required.
Do I need the internet for an intercom system?
Basic audio and video intercoms can work without the internet, using internal wiring between
handsets and door stations. Systems that send calls to your mobile phone or use apps usually need a
reliable internet connection. Let tradies know if you want remote access so they can quote for the
right type of system.
Who looks after intercoms in an apartment building?
In most strata buildings, the owners corporation or body corporate manages common intercom and
access control systems. If you live in an apartment, it is usually best to speak with your strata
manager or committee before arranging work so approved tradies can be engaged and costs are handled
correctly for shared systems.
Can my intercom work with automatic driveway gates?
Many intercoms can be integrated with gate motors so you can open the gate from your handset or app.
The installer will consider cable paths, power and control wiring and may coordinate with any gate
technician where needed. When posting your job, mention if you already have an automatic gate system
in place.
