Gate Automation Intercoms We Install:
Our systems can be fitted with four different types of intercom to increase security and add to the convenience of your life. To help you decide we have listed the products we install & details of how they function. If you have any special requirements please let us know, and we can find a solution for you.
If you desire an intercom with a hardwired connection we have listed the cable you need in the requirements. If you can install the cable between the gate & house it will reduce the cost considerably. Please keep in mind the cable distance!
