Can an intercom open my automated gate?

Yes. The intercom connects directly to your gate automation system. When a visitor buzzes, you see them on your indoor screen or smartphone, speak to them, and press a button to open the gate — all without leaving the house.

Access Control in Benfleet

Video intercom and access control installation across Benfleet, Thundersley and Hadleigh. See and speak to visitors at the gate without walking down the hill.

Benfleet

See your gate from inside

On the Benfleet hills, driveways often slope away from the house. The gate may be around a bend, at the bottom of an incline, or simply not visible from any window. Without an intercom, you have no idea who is at the entrance until you walk down to check — inconvenient on a good day, a security concern on a bad one.

A video intercom solves this completely. When someone presses the buzzer, you see a live video feed on an indoor screen or your smartphone. You can speak to the visitor, verify who they are, and open the automated gate with a button press — all without leaving the house.

The Right System

Matched to your requirements

We recommend different intercom systems depending on what you need. HikVision is the most cost-effective option — ideal if you already have an older HikVision intercom and want to upgrade to the latest models with smartphone connectivity, or if you need a straightforward new installation without the complexity of a full smart home setup.

For properties where you want a complete smart home ecosystem — with your intercom, CCTV cameras, network switches and Wi-Fi all managed through a single platform — Ubiquiti UniFi Access is the right choice. We manage the entire UniFi network as part of the installation, giving you one unified system rather than a collection of separate devices.

Combined with CCTV, gate automation and alarm systems, your intercom becomes part of a complete security setup.
