Hikvision video intercom systems
Compare door stations and indoor monitors for your front door or gate.
Decide how visitors will call you
List the number of doors, required indoor screens and people who need mobile answering. Confirm the exact kit and app requirements for your preferred setup.
Plan power, data and release wiring
Check how the door station is powered and how it connects to the network. Have the installer confirm gate motor or electric strike compatibility and the required relay and power supply.
Specify the visitor experience first
Write down what should happen when a visitor presses the button. For example, ring a kitchen monitor and selected phones, allow a resident to speak to the visitor and open the gate only when authorised. Confirm the exact door station, monitor and app combination supports that sequence.
Test the gate separately
Give the installer the gate motor model, power details and cable route. Confirm how the gate accepts a release command and where any relay sits. After commissioning, test calls, speech and opening from the indoor monitor and each authorised phone, including a phone using mobile data.
