One Front Door, Several Households: Video Intercoms for Guelph
Guelph has more shared front doors than it used to. In December 2024 the city began allowing up to four dwelling units on low-density residential lots, so a house that once had a single doorbell may now have a basement suite, a rear unit or a fourplex-style entry vestibule. Add the student houses around the University of Guelph and the apartments above downtown storefronts, and many buildings have one entrance and several people who need to answer it.
JR Security Solutions installs Akuvox video intercoms across Guelph so the right person can see each caller, talk to them and decide whether to open the door, from an indoor screen or from their phone. We plan the door station, the lock hardware and the wiring with you on site, then quote the system to fit your building.
Video Intercoms for Guelph Homes and Rental Houses
A door station at the shared entrance gets a separate call button for each unit. The main-floor household answers on its own indoor screen, the basement tenant answers on their phone, and nobody has to walk downstairs to sign for someone else’s parcel. If the units also have their own exterior doors, each can get its own station on the same system.
In Old University and the streets off Gordon Street and Stone Road, the tenant list changes every spring. With the Akuvox SmartPlus app, the landlord adds each incoming tenant as a resident and deletes last year’s group in a few minutes, with nothing to rewire. Tenants can send a visiting friend or a furniture delivery a guest PIN or QR code that stops working when it expires.
For a century home near Exhibition Park or a newer build in Westminster Woods, a video door station replaces the doorbell and can release an electric lock on the side or front door. You can answer from a screen in the kitchen or from your desk across town, and the app keeps a dated photo record of every door release.

Downtown Walk-Ups, Clinics and Hanlon Business Parks
Mixed-use buildings downtown
Many of the limestone and brick buildings along Wyndham, Macdonell and Quebec Streets have a shop at street level and apartments or offices upstairs, reached through a narrow street door. A slim door station with a resident directory fits that doorway, so visitors call the right suite instead of knocking on the shop. We route cable inside wherever we can. If your building is on Guelph’s heritage register, check with the City of Guelph before changing the street face, and we will work within what is approved.
Hanlon Creek Business Park and the Northwest Industrial Park
At plants and warehouses, 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 visitor and open up. At a fenced yard, a post-mounted station at the pedestrian gate does the same job, coordinated with your gate supplier.
Clinics and professional offices
Dental, physio and other practices along Gordon Street, Stone Road and near Guelph General Hospital often buzz in patients after hours or keep a staff-only back door. Staff can check each caller on video before unlocking, without leaving the front desk.
What a Guelph Video Intercom System Includes
- HD video at the door. 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 release. Tap Unlock during the call to release an electric strike, maglock or gate lock. Each release is logged with the date, time and a photo.
- Access control at the same door. Many Akuvox door stations include a keypad or card reader, so tenants or staff can come in with a PIN, fob or phone, and you can issue temporary virtual keys. See access control in Guelph.
- 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, the intercom, cameras and alarm are planned and supported by one team. See security cameras in Guelph and alarm systems in Guelph.

Guelph Video Intercom FAQs
Yes. The door station at the shared entrance gets one call button or directory entry per unit, and each household answers on its own indoor screen or phone. If a unit has its own outside door, it can have its own door station on the same system.
In the SmartPlus app or web portal, you delete the outgoing tenants’ accounts and PINs and add the new group. Nothing changes at the door, and old codes stop working right away.
Usually, yes. We choose a door station that suits the doorway, keep it compact and run cable inside where we can. Check with the City of Guelph before exterior changes to a designated building, and we’ll work within what’s approved.
Yes. Calls can ring a reception screen and a group of phones at the same time, or follow a sequence, so a visitor at the front door or shipping door isn’t left waiting while staff are on the floor.
No. Guelph is about 20 to 25 minutes from our office, and travel is included in your written quote. There are no separate mileage charges anywhere in our service area.
Every system is custom-quoted after a free on-site visit. The quote depends on the number of doors and units, the door hardware each entrance needs, the cable route and whether you want indoor screens, app answering or both. We don’t publish prices because no two buildings are the same.
