Smart Entry for Modern Homes

Know who is at your door before you answer it. Our video door entry systems combine HD cameras, two-way audio, and smart locks into a seamless entry experience, whether you are at home, at work, or abroad. Receive alerts, see visitors, speak to delivery drivers, and unlock the door from anywhere.

We install professional systems from DoorBird and 2N that offer superior image quality, weatherproof construction, and deep integration with smart home platforms. DoorBird systems are particularly popular in Chelsea and Kensington where the elegant stainless steel design complements period and contemporary properties alike. 2N systems are ideal for multi-apartment buildings and gated estates where directory management and concierge integration are required.

Integration with Control4 and Crestron adds powerful automation. When someone presses the doorbell, your TV can display the camera feed automatically. When you unlock the door remotely, the hallway lights can activate. When a visitor is detected at the gate, the system can send an alert and log the event. This level of integration transforms a simple doorbell into a comprehensive visitor management system.

Common Questions

Door Entry FAQs

What is a video door entry system?

A video door entry system combines a camera, microphone, speaker, and door release at your entrance with an indoor monitor or smartphone app that lets you see, hear, and speak to visitors before granting access. Modern systems include HD video, night vision, motion detection, and remote unlock capability. They can be integrated with smart home systems for automated responses and with access control for keyless entry.

Can I answer my door from my phone when away from home?

Yes, all our video door entry systems include smartphone integration. When someone presses the doorbell, you receive a push notification with live video on your phone. You can speak to the visitor through two-way audio and unlock the door remotely if you choose. This is particularly useful for managing deliveries, letting in tradespeople, and monitoring who visits your property when you are away. The app works over WiFi and mobile data from anywhere in the world.

What is the difference between a video doorbell and a video intercom?

A video doorbell is a consumer device that replaces a standard doorbell and connects to your smartphone. It is suitable for single-family homes and provides basic visitor management. A video intercom is a professional system with dedicated hardware, higher image quality, and more sophisticated features such as multiple indoor monitors, concierge integration, and access control. For luxury properties in Chelsea, Kensington, and Mayfair, we typically recommend professional intercom systems from DoorBird or 2N that offer superior performance and integration capabilities.

Can you install video entry for a gated property?

Yes, gated property entry is one of our specialisms. We install video intercoms at gate posts with weatherproof housings, integrate with electric gate motors for remote opening, and connect to your smart home system for automated access. Visitors can be seen and spoken to from inside the house or remotely via smartphone. We also install number plate recognition cameras that can automatically open gates for registered vehicles. For estates with multiple entry points, we design systems with centralised management and individual zone control.

Do you install video entry in apartment buildings?

Yes, we install multi-apartment video entry systems for residential buildings, working with building management companies and residents associations. These systems include a main entrance panel with directory, individual apartment monitors or smartphone integration, and concierge override capability. We use professional systems from 2N and Comelit that support hundreds of apartments and integrate with building management systems. All installations comply with building regulations and fire safety requirements.

How do you power a video door entry system?

Most professional video door entry systems use Power over Ethernet (PoE), which delivers both data and power through a single Cat6 cable. This simplifies installation and ensures reliable power without a separate power supply at the door. For locations without existing cabling, we can use wireless systems with battery power or solar charging. We assess your property during the consultation to recommend the most appropriate power solution.

Which areas do you cover for video door entry installation?

We install video door entry systems throughout London and the Home Counties. In London we cover Chelsea, Kensington, Mayfair, Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Notting Hill, Hampstead, and Canary Wharf. In Hertfordshire we serve St Albans, Watford, and Rickmansworth. In Surrey we cover Guildford, Weybridge, and Cobham. We also travel to Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire.
