Can a gate intercom be installed as part of a gate package?

Yes, and we recommend it. Installing the intercom at the same time as the automated gate means shared cable routes, lower installation cost and a system designed to work together from day one. It is our most popular combination in the Hornchurch area.

What system is best for an HMO in Havering?

Akuvox. It gives landlords managed intercom screens with the ability to issue and revoke tenant access remotely. No physical keys to manage between tenancies. Multi-unit calling for buildings with multiple flats.

Havering

Gate and intercom in one project

The most popular combination in the Hornchurch area is an automated gate with a video intercom installed as a single project. When someone arrives, you see them on an indoor screen or your smartphone, speak to them, and open the gate with a button press. No walking to the door, no peering through windows, no guessing who is outside.

Installing the gate and intercom together means shared cable routes between the gate post and the house, lower overall installation cost, and a system that is designed to work together from day one rather than bolted together after the fact.

We cover all of Havering including Hornchurch, Upminster, Gidea Park, Emerson Park, Cranham, Harold Wood, Elm Park and Rainham. Just 10 miles from our base.

Landlords & HMOs

Managed access for rental properties

Havering has a significant rental and HMO market, and managing physical keys between tenancies is one of the most persistent headaches for landlords. Akuvox solves this with managed intercom screens that you control remotely — issue access for new tenants, revoke it when they leave, and never worry about lost keys or lock changes again.

For multi-unit buildings, Akuvox handles individual flat calling so visitors can buzz a specific unit. You manage all units from a single platform, with a full log of who was granted access and when.

For straightforward residential intercoms without the complexity of managed access, HikVision is the most cost-effective option. If you already have an older HikVision or generic intercom, upgrading to the latest model with smartphone connectivity is often the simplest and cheapest route.
