Intercom Brands We Install in Playa Del Rey
IP Video Intercoms
- DoorBird – Made in Germany. HD video, two-way audio, smartphone app. No subscription fees. Works on 2-wire or PoE.
- 2N – Professional-grade IP intercom with touchscreen panels, RFID access, and SIP integration. Built for offices and large buildings.
- ButterflyMX – Cloud video intercom designed for multi-tenant buildings. Each resident answers from their own phone.
- UniFi (Ubiquiti) – Self-hosted video intercom for properties that want local control with no cloud fees.
Telephone Entry and Audio Systems
- Aiphone – Hardwired intercom systems trusted in Playa Del Rey homes and buildings for decades. Audio and video models available.
- DoorKing (DKS) – Telephone entry for gated communities and parking structures. Supports hundreds of tenant entries.
- LiftMaster – Gate intercom with MyQ integration. Pairs with LiftMaster gate operators.
- Linear – Cost-effective telephone entry for HOAs and small commercial properties.
- Panasonic – Wireless intercom for homes and small offices. Expandable with additional handsets.
Locking Hardware and Access Control
Every intercom system needs locking hardware to actually control the door or gate. Here’s what we install and wire:
- Electric strikes – The intercom triggers the strike, and the door opens. This is the most common setup for pedestrian gates, lobby doors, and side entrances. Quick to install and works with most lock types.
- Mag locks – Electromagnetic locks with 600-1,200 lbs of holding force. We mount them on commercial doors and wire them to the intercom with a request-to-exit button on the inside.
- Electrified panic bars – Push-bar exit devices from Von Duprin, Falcon, and Detex. Fire code requires them on commercial exit doors. We connect them to the intercom for controlled entry.
- Electric dead latches – A stronger option than a standard strike. The bolt retracts electrically when the intercom sends the signal. We install these on gates that need extra security.
- Keypads and RFID readers – HID, DoorKing, and Linear access hardware. Tenants and staff get a code or card to bypass the intercom. We program these to work with your system.

Our Installation Process
Here’s how a typical intercom installation works in Playa Del Rey:
Initial Evaluation
We check your current setup to see what’s already in place. Some properties have wiring from an old intercom that we can reuse. Others need everything from scratch. We also check your Wi-Fi signal strength at the gate if you’re going with an IP system.
Quote and Scheduling
You get a written quote covering equipment, labor, and any additional hardware like electric strikes or mag locks. No hourly billing with open-ended costs. Once you approve, we schedule the install at a time that works for you.
Installation
We handle the full job from start to finish. Cable runs, conduit installation, equipment mounting, lock hardware, and system programming. For residential jobs, we’re usually done in half a day. Multi-unit buildings take 1-3 days.
Final Walkthrough
We show you how to use the intercom, manage users, and adjust settings. We test the system with you watching so you can see it work. You get our direct number if anything comes up after the install.
Tip: Ask us about adding a keypad alongside your intercom. It gives regular visitors like housekeepers or dog walkers a code to enter without calling you. We program temporary codes that expire on a schedule.
Playa Del Rey Intercom FAQ
Is there a monthly fee for video intercoms?
DoorBird, Aiphone, and UniFi have zero monthly fees. ButterflyMX charges a monthly per-unit fee for their cloud platform. 2N offers optional cloud services. We’ll explain the ongoing costs for each brand before you decide.
Can the intercom unlock my gate and my front door?
Yes. We can wire the intercom to release multiple locks at different entry points. You’d have separate unlock buttons in the app or on the indoor station for each door or gate.
What if I have bad Wi-Fi at my gate?
We run a hardwired ethernet cable from your router to the intercom whenever possible. It’s more reliable than Wi-Fi, especially for video. If hardwiring isn’t an option, we set up a dedicated Wi-Fi bridge or access point near the gate.
Do you service intercoms you didn’t install?
Yes. We work on all major intercom brands regardless of who installed them. We troubleshoot the issue, source replacement parts, and get your system working again.
