Intercom Solutions: see and speak with visitors before unlocking remotely
Metwide Intercom Solutions let you verify visitors, log activity and unlock doors from your phone or wall panel across homes, strata and business sites.
Intercom Solutions for secure, convenient entry control
Metwide Intercom Solutions help busy sites manage visitors, deliveries and contractors safely. Legacy audio buzzers and ageing cabling cause delays and blind spots - leading to missed deliveries, tailgating or doors left open.
We design and install intercom systems to fit your site and budget: IP video, 2-wire retrofit or wireless/4G. Pair with access control and CCTV, answer from your mobile and unlock with one tap. Licensed teams cover our service areas across Australia.
Control access from anywhere
Mobile unlock
Answer calls, view video and unlock from your phone on-site or off-site.
Fits your cabling
IP for new builds or 2-wire kits for fast upgrades using existing cables.
Strata & SME ready
Multi-tenant options and admin tools for receptions and site managers.
Integrates easily
Works with access control and CCTV for faster decisions.
Complete entry management
IP video intercom (PoE)
Full-HD cameras, clear audio and app control over your network. Add doors, stations and monitors as your site grows.
2-wire retrofit kits
Upgrade older audio systems without re-cabling. Keep wall locations, gain video, and add mobile answering in many cases.
Wireless / 4G door intercom
Door intercom built for gates, temporary entries or remote buildings where cabling is costly or impossible.
Mobile app & door release
See visitors, talk back, and trigger door strikes or relays from your phone or panel. Add time-based rules for after-hours.
Door intercom system types: which one fits your site
Three install patterns we deploy across homes, strata and business sites
We confirm the right approach during a site assessment based on cabling, network coverage and reception conditions.
| Type | Ideal for | Trade-offs |
|---|---|---|
| IP video over PoE | New builds and multi-tenant strata sites with structured cabling. Full HD video, mobile app answering, indoor monitors and easy expansion to multiple door stations. | Needs a managed network with PoE switches and Cat5e or better cabling to each door station. Higher up-front cost in retrofit scenarios where new Ethernet is not already in place. |
| 2-wire retrofit | Upgrades on older buildings where running new Ethernet is disruptive or expensive. Reuses existing 2-wire cabling, keeps the wall locations, and often gains video and mobile answering without re-cabling. | System-specific compatibility matters (Aiphone GT, Comelit, Bticino kits are typical). A quick on-site check confirms cable length and condition before commitment. |
| Wireless / 4G door intercom | Gates, temporary site offices, remote buildings and secondary entries where cabling is impractical or impossible. A 4G cellular module handles signalling; calls reach your phone wherever you are. | Requires reliable cellular reception at the door. A SIM and monthly carriage fee applies per door station. Best where the realistic alternative is no intercom at all. |

Intercom repairs, upgrades & replacements
Got an intercom that's failing or stuck on old hardware? Here's how we approach service calls - repair where it makes sense, upgrade or replace when it doesn't.
Diagnose first
A technician checks the door station, monitor, cabling and power. Faulty handsets, wiring faults, dead power supplies and a stuck door strike are usually repairable on a single visit.
Upgrade with what's there
Where the old system is end-of-life but the cabling is sound, a 2-wire retrofit kit can re-use existing wires to add video, mobile answering and modern call routing without re-cabling the building.
Replace when it's not economic
Storm and water damage to door stations, unsupported brands and end-of-life systems usually push repair past the cost of a like-for-like replacement. We swap to a modern IP, 2-wire or 4G intercom with manufacturer-backed warranties on the new hardware, app control and access-control integration ready.
Strata-friendly coordination
We liaise with building managers and committees, schedule for low-disruption times, document scope and pricing up front and stage works around tenant access so day-to-day entry isn't disrupted.
