Answer the Door From a Lecture Hall, a Lab or a Meeting
Waterloo runs on a term calendar. Rentals in Northdale and the streets around the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University fill up in September and empty out in April, startups add people every few weeks, and apartment and condo buildings near Uptown and the campuses handle a constant flow of couriers and food deliveries. Whoever is responsible for a door, whether that’s a tenant, a property manager or the person sitting nearest reception, needs a quick way to see the caller and decide.
JR Security Solutions designs and installs Akuvox video intercoms for Waterloo rentals, homes and workplaces. Visitors press a button at the door, you get a video call on your phone or a wall screen, and one tap unlocks the door if you want to let them in.
Rentals, Condos and Family Homes in Waterloo
Student rentals in Northdale and near campus
Condo owners and small boards
Detached homes in Beechwood, Laurelwood, Columbia Forest and Clair Hills
Student rentals in Northdale and near campus
Multi-bedroom houses and small purpose-built rentals near UW and Laurier get a door station on the main entrance with a call button or directory listing for each unit or room. Every tenant answers in the Akuvox SmartPlus app. When the September group moves in, the landlord adds their accounts and deletes the previous term’s, with no hardware to change and no keys to chase down. During the quiet months between terms, the door release log shows whether anyone was let in.
Condo owners and small boards
In a condo, the lobby entry system belongs to the condo corporation, and changes need the board’s approval. If you’re on a board looking at replacing an aging lobby panel, we can assess the entrance and quote an Akuvox system that the property manager runs from a web portal. If you’re an individual owner, talk to your property manager first; we’re happy to give them product details.
Detached homes in Beechwood, Laurelwood, Columbia Forest and Clair Hills
Families away from the campuses use a video door station to see who’s at the front door from upstairs or from work, and to let a dog walker or cleaner in with a guest PIN that only works on the days they visit.

Tech Offices, Research Space and Uptown Walk-Ups
Offices in the David Johnston R+T Park and along Northfield Drive
In a small team, reception isn’t always staffed. A door station at the suite or building entrance can ring a group of phones so whoever is free picks up, then ring a single person after hours. Staff come and go with fobs or their phones through access control, so the intercom is only for guests. For an interview candidate or a contractor, you can send a QR code that opens the door for a set window and then expires.Second-floor offices and apartments in Uptown
Along King Street in Uptown, many offices and apartments sit above shops behind a single street-level door. A video intercom at that door, with a directory of tenants, lets each office or suite screen its own visitors instead of propping the door or running downstairs.Kept on its own network
Akuvox intercoms are network devices. In an office with production systems or lab equipment, we can put the intercom, cameras and door controllers on their own network segment so they don’t share traffic with your work. We install the cabling ourselves; see our networking services.Intercom Features Waterloo Tenants and Teams Use Most
- Clear HD picture. The door station’s HD camera shows the caller’s face and what they’re carrying before you decide to open up.
- Calls that follow you. Ring the SmartPlus app, an indoor monitor or both. If you prefer, calls can roll over to a regular phone number when the app isn’t answered.
- One-tap unlock. Release the door during a call, or from the live view without calling. Every release is stored with a time-stamped photo.
- Keyless entry built in. Akuvox door stations can take PINs, cards, fobs and phone credentials, and tie into a wider access control system in Waterloo when you have more doors to manage.
- Part of one system. Link a Uniview camera covering the entrance so you can flip to it from the app, and have the same team that installs your Waterloo security cameras and Ajax alarm system in Waterloo plan the intercom around them.

Waterloo Video Intercom FAQs
Yes. Each tenant gets a SmartPlus account linked to their unit or room, so calls from the front door go to the right people. You remove those accounts when the lease ends.
In most cases, yes. Door stations and indoor screens can be taken down and reinstalled at a new office, and we’ll check the new doors and lock hardware before the move.
Yes. You can send a time-limited QR code or guest PIN that works only during the window you set, then stops working on its own.
The lobby entrance is a common element controlled by the condo corporation, so any change needs the board’s approval. We can give your property manager or board the details they need to consider it.
Often, yes. We’ll look at your existing readers, controller and door hardware during the visit and tell you whether the intercom can share the same lock, or whether a combined Akuvox door station makes more sense.
We can usually book a site assessment within a few business days. Once you approve the custom quote, we schedule the installation around your term dates, lease turnover or office hours.
