Intercom Installation in Beverly Hills
If your building intercom is outdated or your gate buzzer stopped working, we can help. The Tech Guys Doors and Gates installs and repairs every major intercom brand in Beverly Hills. We work on residential gates, apartment buildings, office lobbies, and commercial properties.
We carry DoorBird, Aiphone, ButterflyMX, UniFi, 2N, DoorKing, LiftMaster, Panasonic, and Linear systems. Each brand fits different needs. We’ll walk your property and tell you which one makes sense for your setup.
Intercom Brands We Install in Beverly Hills
Video Intercom Systems
- DoorBird – German-made IP video intercom. Smartphone app, HD camera, no monthly fees. Our most popular residential pick.
- ButterflyMX – Cloud-based video intercom for apartments and multi-tenant buildings. Visitors call directly to your phone.
- 2N – Enterprise-grade IP intercom from the Czech Republic. Touchscreen directory, RFID access, SIP integration.
- UniFi (Ubiquiti) – Self-hosted video intercom for tech-forward homes and offices. Runs on your local network with no cloud dependency.
Audio and Telephone Entry
- Aiphone – Hardwired audio and video intercoms. Reliable for decades. Common in Beverly Hills estates.
- DoorKing (DKS) – Telephone entry callboxes for gated communities, apartment buildings, and parking structures.
- LiftMaster – Gate intercom with MyQ app integration. Works with existing LiftMaster gate operators.
- Linear – Budget-friendly telephone entry for small commercial properties and HOAs.
- Panasonic – Wireless intercom systems for homes and small offices. Easy to add handsets.
Locking Hardware and Access Control
An intercom is only useful if it can actually open the door or gate. We install and wire the locking hardware that connects to your intercom system:
- Electric strikes – Replace or add to your mechanical lock. The intercom sends a signal, the strike releases, and the door opens. Most common for lobby and pedestrian gate entry.
- Mag locks – Electromagnetic locks that hold 600-1,200 lbs of force. Popular in commercial buildings. We wire them to your intercom and add a request-to-exit button inside.
- Electrified panic bars – Push-bar exit devices (Von Duprin, Falcon, Detex) with electric latch retract or electric strike. Required by fire code on many commercial doors.
- Electric dead latches – Stronger than a standard strike. The bolt retracts electrically when the intercom triggers it. Good for high-security residential gates.
- Keypads and card readers – HID, DoorKing, and Linear keypads give tenants or staff a way in without calling the intercom. We program them alongside your intercom system.
Common Intercom Problems We Fix
Most intercom calls we get in Beverly Hills fall into a few categories:
Audio Issues
Static, low volume, or one-way communication. Usually caused by corroded wiring, a failing speaker, or water in the outdoor station. We test every connection point and replace what’s degraded.
Video Problems
Blurry or dark image on video intercoms. The camera lens gets dirty from dust and rain, or the IR LEDs for night vision burn out. On IP systems, low bandwidth can cause choppy video. We clean lenses, replace LEDs, and optimize network settings.
Gate or Door Won’t Open from Intercom
The intercom rings, you press the button, but the gate stays shut. This is usually the electric strike, the relay in the intercom, or a broken wire between them. We meter the full circuit from intercom to lock and fix the break.
Programming Lost After Power Outage
DoorKing and Linear telephone entry systems lose their directory when power drops. We reprogram the tenant list and add a battery backup so it doesn’t happen again.
App Connectivity Issues
DoorBird, ButterflyMX, and UniFi intercoms rely on your network. Router changes, firmware updates, or DHCP issues can knock them offline. We check the network config, assign a static IP, and verify push notifications work on your phone.
Beverly Hills Intercom FAQ
Can you upgrade my old intercom to video?
In most cases, yes. We check your current wiring and recommend the best upgrade path. Some jobs need new cables, but many DoorBird and Aiphone models work with existing 2-wire runs.
Which intercom brand is best for apartments?
ButterflyMX and 2N are our top picks for multi-tenant buildings. ButterflyMX uses a cloud platform that lets residents answer from their phone. 2N works better if you want a touchscreen directory panel with RFID entry.
Do IP intercoms work during an internet outage?
Most IP intercoms still handle local door release during outages. You lose remote app access and cloud recording until the connection comes back, but the doorbell and strike still function on the local network.
How long does intercom installation take?
A single residential intercom takes 2-4 hours. Multi-unit apartment systems run 1-3 days depending on how many stations and how much new wiring is needed.
