Answer the Door From the Kitchen, the Shop Floor or the Back Field

Fergus is our home town, and its front doors are as varied as its buildings. Limestone blocks along St. Andrew Street have apartments and offices above the shops, reached through a single street door. Newer subdivisions have families who want to see who’s on the porch from upstairs or from work. And since Centre Wellington allows up to three dwelling units on a residential lot, more Fergus houses now have a basement or garden suite sharing a way in. Out past town, the person who needs to answer the gate is often in the barn or the workshop, not the house. JR Security Solutions installs Akuvox video intercoms across Fergus so you can see each caller, talk to them and decide whether to open the door or gate, from an indoor screen or from your phone. Because we’re based in town, the people who plan your system are the same people who install it and come back to service it.

Houses with an added suite

A door station at the shared entrance gets a separate call button for each household. The main floor answers on an indoor screen, the suite answers on a phone, and parcels get to the right door. If the suite has its own outside entrance, it can have its own door station on the same system, all managed from one account.

Century homes and new builds

For a stone house near the Grand River or a new build on the edge of town, a video door station replaces the doorbell and can release an electric lock on the front or side door. You can answer from a screen in the kitchen or from your desk at work, and the app keeps a dated photo record of every door release.

Farms, acreages and long laneways

Toward Belwood Lake, Ennotville and the concessions around Centre Wellington, the gate can be a long way from the house. A post-mounted door station at the laneway gate rings your phone wherever you are on the property, shows you the vehicle and lets you open the gate, coordinated with your gate supplier. Where trenching cable isn’t practical, we link the gate, barn or shop back to the house with a point-to-point wireless bridge on Lysora networking gear.

Downtown Walk-Ups, Workshops and Community Buildings

Upstairs apartments and offices on St. Andrew Street

Many of the limestone buildings downtown have a shop or restaurant at street level and apartments or offices above. A compact door station with a tenant directory at the street door lets visitors call the right unit, and lets tenants screen callers instead of propping the door or running downstairs. We route cable inside wherever possible. If your building is designated, check with the Township of Centre Wellington before changing the façade, and we’ll work within what’s approved.

Industrial units along Gartshore Street and Dickson Drive

In the industrial units off Gartshore Street and Dickson Drive, and the new business park in North Fergus, the front office is often locked while staff are out on the floor. A door station at reception or the shipping door can ring a desk screen, a group of phones or both, so whoever is free can see the driver or visitor and open up.

Churches, clubs and professional offices

Community buildings, clinics and small offices around Fergus often have volunteers or staff coming and going on different days. Pair a video intercom for visitors with keypad or fob entry for regulars, and nobody has to hand out keys. See access control in Fergus.

What a Fergus Video Intercom System Includes

HD video at the door or gate. Akuvox door stations have an HD camera, so you can see who is calling clearly before anything unlocks.
Answer on your phone. Calls go to the Akuvox SmartPlus app on iPhone or Android, to an indoor monitor, or to both, with a live preview before you pick up.
Door and gate release. Tap Unlock during the call to release an electric strike, maglock or gate operator. Each release is logged with the date, time and a photo.
Keyless entry at the same door. Many Akuvox door stations include a keypad or card reader, so family, tenants or staff can come in with a PIN, fob or phone, and you can issue temporary virtual keys.
Works with your cameras and alarm. A nearby Uniview camera can be linked to the intercom so you can switch to its view from the app. Because we also install Ajax alarms with 24/7 monitoring, the intercom, cameras and alarm are planned and supported by one team. See security cameras in Fergus and Fergus alarm systems.

Fergus Video Intercom FAQs

Our farm gate is a long way from the house. Can it still have an intercom?

Yes. A post-mounted door station at the gate can ring your phone wherever you are on the property. If running cable along the laneway isn’t practical, we connect the gate with a point-to-point wireless bridge and confirm the signal during the on-site assessment.

I rent out the apartment above my St. Andrew Street shop. Can my tenant answer the street door?

Yes. The door station gets a directory entry or button for each unit, and your tenant answers on their own phone or indoor screen while the shop keeps its own line. When a tenant moves out, you delete their account and nothing changes at the door.

We added a basement suite. Can each household have its own button?

Yes. Each unit gets its own call button or directory entry, and each household answers on its own screen or phone. A suite with its own outside door can have its own door station on the same system.

Can the intercom at our Gartshore Street shop ring more than one person?

Yes. Calls can ring a reception screen and a group of phones at the same time, or follow a sequence, so a driver at the shipping door isn’t left waiting while staff are on the floor.

You're in Fergus. How quickly can you come out?

We’re local, so on-site assessments are easy to schedule. We reply within one business day, and service visits and firmware updates are handled by our own Fergus team.

How is the cost of a video intercom estimated?

Every system gets a custom estimate after a free on-site assessment. It depends on the number of doors, gates and units, the lock hardware each one needs, the cable or wireless route and whether you want indoor screens, app answering or both. We don’t publish prices because no two properties are the same.
