Commercial Intercom Systems & Door Entry Solutions in Niagara Falls, Hamilton & Toronto
Someone's at your front door. Could be a client. Could be a delivery driver. Could be someone who has no business being there. Do you know which one before you let them in?
That's the whole point of a commercial intercom system. You see the person. You talk to them. You decide whether to buzz them in or not. All without leaving your desk. All without walking to the front entrance. And with the right door entry system, you can do it from your phone while you're not even in the building.
Force Security installs video intercom systems and buzzer systems for offices, warehouses, condos, apartment buildings, medical clinics, schools, and retail stores across the Niagara Region, Hamilton, and the GTA. We tie them into your access control, your cameras, and your alarm system so everything works together. One app. One dashboard. No gaps.
We've been doing intercom installation since 1988 as part of our full commercial security offering. We know what works. We know what breaks. And we know what's overkill for a small office vs. what you actually need for a 200-unit condo building.

What a Modern Video Intercom System Actually Does
Forget those old apartment buzzers that barely worked. Today's IP intercom systems are built for real security and real visitor management. Here's what you're getting.
Door Entry Systems for Every Type of Business
A 10-person office doesn't need the same building intercom as a 50,000 sq ft warehouse. We design around how your business actually operates.
- Office intercom systems: Reception station, after-hours entry, conference room buzz-in. Simple and clean.
- Warehouse intercoms: Loading dock door entry, driver check-in stations, gate communication with two-way audio.
- Medical clinics: Patient check-in, restricted ward access, after-hours emergency entry for on-call staff. Ties into fire monitoring too.
- Schools: Front door screening, classroom-to-office communication, panic button and lockdown integration.
- Retail stores: Back door delivery management, stockroom entry, restricted office access.
- Construction sites: Temporary gate intercoms, site office entry, contractor check-in with visitor logging.
- Churches & community centres: Event screening, office entry control, after-hours visitor management.
Not sure what you need? That's literally what our site assessments are for. We walk your building, figure out your entry points and traffic flow, and tell you exactly what makes sense. No charge.
Apartment & Condo Intercom Systems
In Canada, buildings with 6 or more units are required to have an intercom system. But "required" and "actually working well" are two different things. If your building still has one of those old telephone entry systems from the '90s where tenants hold down 9 to buzz someone in, it's time for an upgrade.
Modern apartment intercom systems give tenants video of who's at the lobby door. They can unlock it from their phone. No more blindly buzzing in a delivery person you can't even see. Property managers get full logs of every entry. And when a tenant moves out, you deactivate their access in seconds instead of collecting fobs.
- Condo intercom systems: Tenant directory with video calling, fob and PIN entry, mobile app control for every unit
- Apartment buzzer replacement: Upgrade old telephone entry to IP video. Tenants see visitors and unlock from their phones.
- Property management tools: Add or remove tenant access remotely. Full entry logs for every door. No on-site visits needed.
- Multi-entrance buildings: Front lobby, parking garage, side doors, package room. Every entry point managed from one system.
- Delivery and guest access: Temporary PINs for couriers. Guest codes that expire. No more propping doors open.
Property managers: We work with condo boards and management companies across Niagara Falls, Hamilton, and the GTA. We handle the whole project from spec to install. Your tenants get trained on day one.
Wired, Wireless & IP Intercom Systems
Not sure which type of intercom you need? Here's the quick breakdown. We install all three and we'll tell you which makes sense for your situation.
🔌 Wired Intercom Systems
Hardwired connections between stations. Most reliable option. No interference, no signal drops. Best for new construction or buildings where you can run cable. Hospitals, schools, and large commercial buildings typically go wired.
📶 Wireless Intercom Systems
No cabling between stations. Quick to install, easy to move. Good for retrofit jobs where running wire isn't practical. Warehouses, construction offices, and temporary setups. Some signal limitations in buildings with thick concrete walls.
🌐 IP Intercom Systems
Runs on your network. Best video quality, most features, and full cloud management. Mobile app access, remote door release, visitor logs. This is what most offices and condos go with in 2026. It's the future and it's already here.
Your Intercom Connects to Your Entire Security System
Replace Your Old Buzzer System or Telephone Entry
Still using a telephone entry system from the early 2000s? One of those panels where you dial a code and hope someone picks up? Those systems are outdated, unreliable, and a security risk. No video. No logs. No mobile access. Half the time the audio barely works.
We replace old buzzer systems and telephone entry systems with modern IP video intercoms. Your tenants and staff get HD video, phone app access, and remote door release. You get full visitor logs and the ability to manage access without being on-site.
- We work with your existing door hardware when possible. Less cost, less disruption.
- Retrofit installs typically take 1-2 days depending on how many entry points you have.
- We handle all the network configuration, panel mounting, and tenant setup.
- Old wiring can often be reused or supplemented. We'll assess during the walkthrough.
How Our Intercom Installation Works
We don't just show up with a box and mount it on your wall. Here's what actually happens from first call to go-live.
Intercom & Door Entry System FAQs
Can I answer the intercom from my phone?
Yes. Modern IP intercom systems connect to an app on your phone. When someone presses the call button, you get a notification with live video. You can talk to them and unlock the door from wherever you are. At your desk, in a meeting, or at home on the couch.
What's the difference between a buzzer system and a video intercom?
A traditional buzzer system is audio-only. Someone calls up, you hear their voice (maybe), and you press a button to unlock the door. A video intercom adds HD camera footage so you actually see who's standing there. Most modern systems also add mobile app access, visitor logging, and integration with your access control.
Can you replace our old telephone entry system?
That's one of the most common jobs we do. We remove the old telephone entry panel and install a modern IP video intercom. In most cases we can reuse existing wiring and door hardware. Your tenants go from a scratchy audio-only system to HD video with phone app access.
What if we have multiple doors?
Multi-door systems let you manage every entry point from one place. Front door, back door, parking garage, loading dock. When someone calls from any entrance, you see which door they're at and unlock that specific door. All managed independently from one app.
What happens during a power outage?
Battery backup keeps the intercom running during outages. For the door locks, you choose: fail-safe (they unlock for fire safety) or fail-secure (they stay locked for security). Depends on your building's needs and local fire code requirements. Our ULC-certified monitoring stays connected through it all.
How much does a commercial intercom system cost?
It depends on how many entry points you have and what features you need. A single-door video intercom for a small office is a lot less than a 50-unit condo directory system. Best move is to book a free site assessment. We'll give you real numbers based on your actual building.
Do you install intercom systems for apartment buildings and condos?
Yes. We install apartment intercom systems and condo intercom systems across Niagara Falls, Hamilton, and the GTA. We work directly with property managers and condo boards. Tenant directory, individual unit control, fob and PIN access, mobile app for every resident. We handle the full project.
Does the intercom record video?
Yes. Every call and entry attempt gets logged with a timestamp and video clip. You can pull up the footage anytime through the app. Useful for security reviews, incident investigations, or just checking who came and went.
Can the intercom unlock the door when someone buzzes in?
Yes. That's the whole point of a modern door entry setup. When a visitor presses the button, you see and talk to them, then tap once to release the door. Do it from the panel, your phone or the app. The intercom wires straight into the electric strike or maglock, so there's no separate buzzer to fumble with. You can let people in from your desk, the front counter or anywhere you've got signal. We set the door release up during installation and test it with you so you know it works before we leave.
