Different Types of Intercom Systems We Install in Sydney
IP Intercom Systems
IP (Internet Protocol) intercoms are the most advanced systems we install. They connect to your network over CAT5 or CAT6 cabling, deliver true HD video, full duplex audio (both sides can talk at the same time), and integrate seamlessly with cloud platforms, mobile apps, building management systems and other IP-based security devices.
2-Wire Intercom Systems
2-wire intercoms are designed specifically for upgrading older Sydney apartment buildings without replacing existing cabling. Many strata buildings built 20 to 30 years ago already have 2-wire infrastructure running between units and the front entrance.
Wireless Intercom Systems
Wireless intercoms transmit audio and video over WiFi or a dedicated wireless link, so there is no need to run new cables through walls or ceilings. They are the right choice for heritage homes, rental properties, sheds, granny flats, and any property where running cabling is impractical or expensive.
Video Intercom Systems
Our HD video intercoms let you see exactly who is at your door before unlocking it. The door station camera streams to your indoor monitor and your smartphone, so whether you are inside the house or away from the property, you can verify the visitor visually, talk to them, and grant or deny access.
Audio Intercom Systems
Simple audio intercoms remain a good fit for properties where video is not required, such as basic warehouse gates, internal door entry between rooms, or older apartment buildings on a tight budget. Audio intercoms are the most affordable system to install and maintain, and they cover the core security need of identifying a visitor by voice before granting access.
Our Intercom Security System Installation Services in Sydney
IP Intercom Systems
We install IP intercom systems that use internet protocols to deliver clear audio and video signals and communication. Perfect for residential and commercial properties, these IP intercom systems can integrate seamlessly with your smart home or business network.
2-Wire Intercom Systems
For buildings with existing wiring, our 2-wire intercom systems offer a cost-effective upgrade. Using just two wires for power and communication, they deliver reliable audio and video without extensive rewiring—ideal for older properties.
Wireless Intercom Security Systems
If running cables isn’t practical, we install wireless intercom systems that offer flexible, hassle-free communication across your property. These wireless systems are quick to set up and can include gate release controls, giving you remote access convenience.
Video Intercom Systems
Our video intercoms let you see and speak to visitors before granting access, adding an important layer of security. Features include video messaging and visual verification, reducing unauthorised entry and improving overall safety.
Wireless Video Intercom System
We offer wireless video intercoms combining video surveillance with wireless networking. These provide high-quality video feeds accessible from anywhere on your property or via your mobile device, offering both convenience and security.
What is an Intercom System and How Does It Work?
An intercom system is an electronic communication device that lets you see and speak to visitors at your door, gate or building entrance before deciding whether to let them in. Modern intercoms in Sydney connect to your smartphone, so you can answer the door from anywhere, whether you are upstairs, at work, or away on holiday.
Instead of opening the door blindly or running down to a building lobby, you screen the visitor through HD video, talk to them through clear audio, and unlock the door remotely with one tap.
A typical intercom system in Sydney has three core parts: a door station mounted at the entrance with a camera, microphone and call button; an indoor monitor or smartphone app that receives the call; and the cabling or wireless link that connects the two. Larger setups for apartment blocks, strata buildings or offices add a central controller, multiple indoor stations, and integration with the building’s access control, CCTV and alarm systems.
See Who’s at Your Door From Anywhere in Your Home: Doorbell Intercom Installations in Sydney
At Sydney Wide Security, we install doorbell intercom systems that let you see and communicate with visitors from anywhere in your home. Whether you’re in the lounge or upstairs, you can answer the door via your internal units or mobile devices, giving you the convenience to grant or deny access without needing to physically approach the door.
This hands-free feature adds an extra layer of safety, especially for elderly family members and busy households. Our doorbell intercoms come with motion detection and recording options, so you never miss a guest or delivery. We install these systems quickly and ensure they integrate smoothly with your existing home security setup.
Next-Level Security and Communication with IP Technology
What to Look for in Your Ideal Intercom
When picking an intercom system, it’s important to think about what you need for your home or business. The right system will boost your security and make life easier.
Size of Your Property
If you have a property with a lot of visitors, a video intercom system will help you check who’s at the door before letting anyone in.
Features You Need
Budget
Intercom Systems for Strata Buildings & Apartment Blocks in Sydney
Sydney has thousands of strata buildings still running 20 or 30-year-old buzzer intercoms that no longer meet resident expectations. Calls drop. Door release fails. Speakers buzz. Residents lose FOBs and need locks changed. We specialise in upgrading these older buildings to modern HD video intercom systems with smartphone integration, without ripping out the existing cabling or disrupting residents.
Better Security
A video intercom system helps you keep an eye on the front door. It allows you to talk to visitors and decide if you want to let them in. Many modern systems come with HD cameras that let you see, even at night, thanks to infrared capabilities.
Keep an Eye on Family
If you have young kids or elderly relatives, you can use your intercom to check on them from the comfort of your home. This is especially handy if they’re outside or in another part of the house.
Convenience
With features like remote access and the ability to unlock doors or gates, an intercom makes your home more secure and easier to manage, especially for those with limited mobility.
Track Deliveries
Worried about stolen packages? With a video intercom, you can talk to delivery drivers and make sure your parcels are left in a safe spot. Plus, you can review footage later if a package is stolen.

Benefits of an Intercom System:
Restricted Access
Use video or audio to verify visitors before granting them entry, keeping your home safe from unwanted guests.
Simplified Communication
No need to physically answer the door. You can chat with visitors without leaving your room.

Very happy
I spent about a month looking for certified installers in the Sydney area, most offered system + install (but mine was BYO), some didn't even get back to me (which is likely a good thing!). I even asked my friends and colleagues - none had any recent dealings with professional installers - well I KNOW who I will recommend to them now!
Professional, trustworthy and attentive, Sydneywide Security made this experience stress-free! Thanks guys!
highly recommend
I had an excellent experience with Sydney Wide Security! They were always punctual and approached their work with the utmost professionalism. They got the job done quickly and efficiently, and I was truly impressed by their commitment to using only the best equipment and techniques. It’s clear they prioritize quality and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend their services for anyone in need of reliable security solutions!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Moe recently visited my property to conduct repairs and servicing on our home security, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. He was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable.
The repair process was seamless, with no unnecessary disruptions and he had no issues coming out a second time to address my concerns.
We then tasked them with upgrading our Intercom and Access Control systems, a major investment not only in terms of funds but also resources as accessing all units over a 4 week period was never going to be an easy task.
Under Chris’s leadership his installation team of Moe and Chris 2.0 did a stellar job assisting in wrangling access to all the apartments despite the language barriers due to the large number of non English speaking residents in our complex; including juggling the changing access needs that tenants imposed.
The systems were installed professionally, any issues were promptly sorted out and the project ran 100% to budget and timelines. We had zero complaints from owners and residents about the workmanship or workers on site which was very pleasing.
Overall as chairman of the OC I was very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Chris and his team to other apartment complexes for the installation and maintenance of intercom, access control and CCTV systems.
A single word of caution, and this is not directed to Chris or his team as it’s completely outside of their control or remit, these types of upgrades do require a significant time investment by the Owners Corporation, be mindful of this when budgeting and allow for additional schedule B costs from your strata manager.
Frequently Asked
Questions
How much does it cost to install an intercom system in Sydney?
Basic audio intercoms start from $695 installed. Wireless video intercoms for a home typically run $1,200 to $2,500. HD video intercoms with smartphone integration sit between $1,800 and $3,500. Strata IP system upgrades for a 10 to 50-unit building usually fall between $8,000 and $35,000, depending on brand and existing cabling. Every quote is fixed and itemised with no hidden costs.
Can I answer my intercom from my phone when I am not home?
Yes. Almost every modern intercom system we install includes a free smartphone app for iOS and Android. When someone presses the door station, the call rings on your phone wherever you are. You see live HD video, talk to the visitor, and unlock the door remotely with one tap. This works whether you are in another room, at work, or overseas, as long as your phone has internet.
Do you install intercom systems in strata buildings and apartment blocks?
Yes. Strata is one of our specialty areas. We work directly with strata committees, building managers and owners’ corporations to upgrade outdated buzzer systems to modern HD video platforms. We can usually reuse existing 2-wire cabling, which means full building upgrades can be completed in 3 to 5 working days with minimal disruption to residents.
We coordinate AGM presentations, write itemised quotes for committee approval, and handle resident communication.
How long does an intercom installation take?
A single home intercom is typically installed in half a day. A small business with one or two door stations takes a full day. A 10 to 30 unit strata building upgrade is usually 3 to 5 working days. Larger commercial sites and multi-building strata complexes are scheduled across 1 to 2 weeks. We confirm the exact timeline in writing before starting work.
Can my old intercom be upgraded without rewiring the whole building?
In most cases, yes. Many older Sydney buildings have 2-wire cabling that can be reused with modern 2-wire intercom systems. We can also use wireless intercoms in heritage properties or buildings where running new cable is not practical. During the free site assessment, we test your existing infrastructure and tell you exactly what can be reused and what needs replacing.
Can the intercom be integrated with my existing CCTV, alarm or access control system?
Yes. Modern IP and 2-wire intercoms integrate with most major CCTV brands (Hikvision, Dahua, Bosch), alarm panels (Bosch, Inner Range, Paradox), and access control platforms (Paxton, Inner Range, HID). When a visitor presses the door station, the system can trigger your CCTV to record, send a mobile alert, and log the event. We assess your current setup during the site visit and recommend what works best.
What happens if a resident loses their key fob?
With modern FOB-based intercom systems, you simply log into the management dashboard or call us, and we deactivate the lost FOB in seconds. The credential immediately stops working at the door. You then issue a replacement FOB. Unlike traditional metal keys, there is no need to change locks across the building. This is one of the biggest practical advantages of upgrading from older keyed entry systems.
Do intercom systems work during a power outage?
Most professional intercom systems we install include backup battery options that keep the system running for 4 to 24 hours during a power outage, depending on the model. For strata buildings and commercial sites where continuous operation is critical, we recommend battery backup or UPS integration. We discuss the right backup option during the site assessment.
Are wireless intercoms as reliable as wired systems?
For single dwellings and small commercial sites, yes. Modern wireless intercoms use dedicated frequencies or your home WiFi and deliver clear HD video and audio. For large strata buildings, hospitals, schools and industrial sites, we still recommend wired or 2-wire systems because they are more resilient against interference and signal drop. Our technician will recommend the right type for your property during the assessment.
Do you provide intercom maintenance and repairs?
Yes. We provide on-site repairs, scheduled maintenance and emergency call-outs across Sydney. If your existing intercom is buzzing, dropping calls, failing to release the door, or showing video issues, we can usually diagnose and fix on the same visit. We service all the major brands, including Aiphone, BPT, Comelit, Hikvision, Dahua, Akuvox, Fermax and Urmet. Annual maintenance plans are available for strata buildings and commercial sites.
Do I need a licensed installer for intercom installation in NSW?
If the intercom is part of a security system or controls access to a building, yes. NSW requires installers to hold a current Security Licence (Class 2). Sydneywide Security holds a Master License NSW 000105739, is fully insured, and our technicians are trained on every major intercom brand. Using a licensed installer also matters for insurance purposes and for strata compliance.
Can I add multiple indoor monitors so my whole household can answer the door?
Yes. Most modern intercoms support multiple indoor monitors and unlimited smartphone connections. Common setups include a main monitor in the kitchen or living room, a second monitor in the master bedroom, plus the smartphone app for every household member. For larger homes and multi-storey properties, we can place monitors on each floor.
Will an intercom system add value to my property?
For homes, a modern HD video intercom with smartphone integration is now expected by buyers in many Sydney areas, particularly for properties over $1.5M and any property marketed as smart-enabled.
For strata buildings, upgrading from a 20-year-old buzzer to a modern IP system improves resident satisfaction and is increasingly raised at AGMs as a quality of life issue. The exact value uplift depends on the property, but the resale and rental appeal is consistently positive.
