Quick answer
What is a commercial intercom system?
A commercial intercom system lets visitors call from a door, gate, or lobby station and talk to staff inside, usually with video, and lets staff unlock the door remotely. Modern IP intercoms run over your network and can ring desk stations, computers, mobile apps, or desk phones.
Los Angeles IT installs video and IP intercom systems for Los Angeles businesses from our Century City headquarters, integrated with door access control and phone systems. Installations are quoted after a site walk, and service is $95 per hour.

We test every call path and release, set up mobile answering, and show your team how it works.
Pricing
How Much Does an Intercom System Cost?

After installation, repairs and changes are $95 per hour, or included with system support on our managed IT plans from $300/month.

Where Intercoms Fit
Intercoms for Offices, Clinics, Gates, and Warehouses
Offices use video intercoms at suite and lobby entrances so the front desk can screen visitors. Medical and dental practices use them after hours and for back-door deliveries. Warehouses and industrial sites put them at gates and loading areas, and multi-tenant buildings use directory-style door stations.
Where you also need announcements across a building, pair intercoms with a paging system.
Common setups
- Office lobby video entry
- Clinic rear and after-hours doors
- Vehicle gates and parking
- Multi-tenant directory stations
Integration
Intercoms Connected to Doors and Phones
An intercom is most useful when it's connected. Integrated with access control, door releases are logged with the person who released them. Integrated with your phone system, calls ring the people already answering phones. Paired with security cameras, every visitor is recorded.
Because IP intercoms are network devices, we secure them on their own network segment and keep firmware updated.
Integrations we set up
- Access control door release
- VoIP and Teams phones
- Security cameras recording
- Mobile apps for remote answering
Upgrades
Replacing an Old Intercom System
Older audio intercoms often fail with no replacement parts available. We replace them with video IP systems, reusing existing cable or conduit where we can, and adding network cabling where we can't.
Upgrades are usually done door by door, so your entrances keep working during the changeover.
Upgrade benefits
- Video at every entrance
- Answer remotely
- Replacement parts available
- Logged door releases
