Your security windows, gates, and doors begin at the entrance. Ensuring you know exactly who is there and the purpose of their visit is essential before letting them inside your premise.
With a door intercom system, you are granted that control. It allows you to communicate with visitors and adds another layer of safety and convenience to your business or home.
A door intercom system links communication with the inside and outside of your premises. It can be audio-only, where you speak and listen through a handset or wall unit, or video, which allows you to see the visitor. There are some models that link with smartphones allowing conversations and door unlocking remotely.
Ferns Engineering & Supplies provide and install door intercom systems for homes, offices, apartments, hotels, schools and commercial buildings across the Uganda. From basic audio systems to high-definition video intercoms with remote unlocking, we cater to a wide range of needs and budgets.
We offer different options starting from single unit systems for one entry point through to multi unit systems for entire complexes such as multi apartment buildings or large office structures. We can also offer intercom systems integration with access control systems, electric locks, or CCTV for a complete entrance security solution.
With video intercoms, you can screen visitors thereby adding an extra layer of security. You can verify both their identity and the reason for their visit without granting door or gate access, which minimizes the chances of unauthorized access.
From a convenience perspective, these systems save you a lot of time and improve convenience. Instead of walking to the gate or door, you can respond to them from anywhere in the building. If you have a smartphone connected model, you can even respond while away from the building.
For companies, intercoms assist in the management of visitor traffic. The reception can verify scheduled appointments with guests prior to allowing them entry, and send deliveries to the correct location without unnecessary delays and confusion.
In apartment buildings and gated communities, the intercom allows direct communication with the security personnel stationed at the gate house.
They are also beneficial for service-oriented establishments such as hotels or clinics as staff can welcome and guide guests to the relevant areas without moving from their stations.
Lastly, intercoms enhance security, providing both a protective and professional image. For visitors, this signals that you take security seriously, and staff or family members feel more relaxed and protected knowing that they can screen visitors before letting them in.
With Fern Engineering & Supplies, we provide services that range from supplying to installing and maintaining intercom systems for doors.
We begin with an assessment of your property, taking into consideration the number of entrances, the type of building, and the distance from the entry point to the receiving area. This helps us recommend the most suitable systems.
We provide products from well-established companies that are known for good audio and video as well as durability. Fern will install weatherproof outdoor units and sleek indoor monitors. Some models are even equipped with motion detectors, night vision, and remote unlocking.
Our professionals ensure that the weatherproof outdoor units are mounted to the right height, indoor units are easily reachable, and all units are securely connected, whether the door intercoms are wireless or wired.
Intercoms can also be linked to other security devices. For instance, we can integrate the intercom to permit control, allowing you to unlock the door with just a button. If you have a CCTV, we can integrate a live feed for enhanced monitoring.
Answering calls and using the remote functions will be covered in the training sessions alongside volume adjustments and troubleshooting other basic problems.
As a proactive measure, we recommend long-term maintenance, which includes regular cleaning of camera lenses, ensuring all connections are working, and for smart intercoms, performing software updates.
