Intercom Installation in Ocean Park
The Tech Guys Doors and Gates installs intercom systems across Ocean Park for craftsman homes, walk-up apartments, and mixed-use buildings. We carry DoorBird, Aiphone, ButterflyMX, UniFi, 2N, DoorKing, LiftMaster, Panasonic, and Linear. Each brand fits different needs, and we’ll help you pick the right one.
Ocean Park sits between Santa Monica and Venice with a mix of older craftsman homes and newer apartment buildings. We upgrade aging buzzer systems to video intercoms while keeping the installation clean and minimally invasive.

Intercom Brands We Install in Ocean Park
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 Ocean Park properties.
- 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.

Our Installation Process
Here’s how a typical intercom installation works in Ocean Park:
Free Consultation
Call us or fill out the online form. We’ll ask about your property type, how many entry points you need, and what features matter to you. For bigger jobs, we schedule a free on-site visit to see the property in person.
System Design
We put together a plan that covers equipment, wiring routes, lock hardware, and installation timeline. You get a clear quote with no surprises. We explain why we’re recommending a specific brand and what alternatives exist if you want to compare.
Professional Installation
Our technicians handle everything from pulling cable to mounting hardware to programming the system. We test every component as we go. The outdoor station, indoor monitor, electric lock, and app connection all get verified before we consider the job done.
Training and Handoff
We walk you through the system in person. How to answer calls, how to unlock remotely, how to add new users, and how to check recorded video. We make sure you’re comfortable with everything before we pack up. If you have questions later, call us.
Tip: Planning a new gate? Have the intercom wiring run inside the gate pillar during construction. It’s much cheaper to run conduit before the pillar is finished than to surface-mount cables after.
Ocean Park Intercom FAQ
Which intercom brand do you recommend for homes?
For single-family homes, we usually recommend DoorBird. It’s made in Germany, gives you HD video on your phone, and there’s no monthly subscription. Aiphone is another solid pick if you prefer a hardwired indoor monitor.
Can you install an intercom on my existing gate?
In most cases, yes. We mount the intercom station on your gate pillar or wall, wire it to an electric strike or mag lock, and connect it to your gate operator if you have one. We’ve retrofitted intercoms onto iron gates, wood gates, and steel sliding gates.
How long does 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. We’ll give you a time estimate before we start.
Do I need a separate access control system?
Not always. Many intercoms have built-in RFID readers or keypad options. If you need separate keypads for tenants, we can add DoorKing or Linear keypads alongside your intercom and program them together.
