Intercom systems
Intercom systems are electronic devices that enable two-ways communication between people via audio/video transmission. They are mainly used for residential buildings managed by Strata, commercial buildings, and industrial sites.
Southern Cross Group Services (SCGS) Electronics has more than 10 years’ experience in professionally installing and maintaining intercom systems in Sydney. We have helped hundreds of residential customers to secure their apartments with tailored intercom solutions.
5 Reasons to use intercom systems in apartment buildings
- Security doors coupled with Residential Intercom Systems is an electronic security solution that provides seamless communication, access control, security and visitor management that can considerably decrease theft and trespassing. This security measure can save thousands of dollars and provides peace of mind to residents and management.s
- SCGS Electronics are experts in Intercom Technology. We conduct the initial site survey, select, and discuss product options, and advise the best intercom solution. Our qualified engineers install and provide education around the management of the product and the software. Then we ensure that everything is working at 100% working. We also conduct maintenance as required or scheduled by our customers.
- We use existing cables. A lot of apartment buildings in Sydney are 20-30 years old. They require new technology to secure the premise. To ensure the preservation of the buildings we use the cables that are already wired within the building. This is a huge cost saving point!
- Our Intercom Systems are connected to FOBs that are given to residents to access the apartment blocks. This measure is very convenient in case of loss or misplacement of FOBs. You do not have to change the lock of the main door every time a resident loses the FOB, just deactivate it, and replace it.
- We provide “Call Diversion” to your phone. You can still let the delivery person in even if you are not physically at home. It is convenient and simple to use. Never miss a parcel again.
