Phoenix Gate and Lobby Entry

Intercom & Gate Entry Systems in Phoenix, AZ

Video intercoms and call boxes that let you see who's at the gate or lobby and let them in from a desk or phone.

Video Intercom and Gate Access in Phoenix

Commercial Security Phoenix has technicians who install intercom and gate entry systems across Phoenix for office lobbies, industrial yards, apartment communities and HOA gates. A good entry system answers two questions: who is at the door, and who is allowed to open it.

Video intercoms ring a front desk, a leasing office or a resident's phone. The person answering sees the visitor and opens the door or gate with one tap.

The Phoenix Fire Department requires automatic vehicle gates at residential and commercial properties to have a fire department key switch on both sides of the gate. Every automatic gate we plan includes that switch, so crews can get in during an emergency.

Fire Department Access at Phoenix Gates

Phoenix Fire also uses gate preemption: a detector on the gate's control system that reads an emitter on the fire truck, required on residential gates since 2001. Apartment and HOA gates should have both the detector and the key switch.

We test the key switch and any preemption detector with the gate installed, and we leave the property manager a note of where each device sits.

Intercom & Gate Entry Systems Questions

Can residents open the gate from their phones?

Yes. Many call boxes and access platforms let residents or tenants answer and open the gate from a phone app.

Do you install the gate itself?

We handle the access control and intercom side and coordinate with a gate contractor for the gate and operator when one is needed.

What happens when the power goes out?

Operators and intercoms can run on battery backup, and gates can be set to open or stay closed on power loss depending on the site.

Can you replace an old phone-line call box?

Yes. Cellular and internet-connected call boxes replace landline units without a phone line at the gate.
