Gate Intercom Installation in Chislehurst
Gate intercom and video entry in Chislehurst. Videx GSM — no wiring to the house, app control. Call 07542 024681.
Chislehurst is an area where homeowners value security. The large detached houses near Chislehurst Common, the period properties along Manor Park Road, and the gated homes approaching Scadbury Park all have gates that serve as the primary security barrier. But a gate without an intercom forces a choice — leave it open for expected visitors, or get up and walk to the gate every time someone buzzes. A video intercom solves this by letting you see who is at the gate, speak to them, and release the gate from your phone.
We install Videx GSM intercoms. The system uses the mobile network rather than wiring between the gate and the house. For Chislehurst's established properties — where running a cable from the gate post to a handset inside the house means digging across the driveway — this is a practical advantage that eliminates the most disruptive part of the installation.
Intercom installation: £1,250+VAT | Monthly SIM: £10

Why GSM Works Well in Chislehurst
No Driveway Disruption
The main objection to wired intercoms on established Chislehurst properties is the cable run — across the driveway, through walls, to a handset location inside the house. With a GSM system, the intercom panel only needs power at the gate. No trenching, no cable routing, no making good.
Remote Access for Commuters
Chislehurst is a commuter suburb — many homeowners spend the day in central London. The GSM intercom calls your mobile phone, so you can answer the gate from the office, the train, or anywhere with phone signal. Accept a delivery, let the cleaner in, or verify an unexpected visitor — all from your phone.
Video Verification
The Videx panel includes a camera. Before you answer, you can see who is at the gate. In an area like Chislehurst where security matters, this is the feature that makes the difference between a useful system and one that gets ignored.
Integration with Existing Gates
The Videx GSM system connects to the existing gate automation. When you press "release" on your phone, the gate opens as if you had pressed the remote. We configure the integration during installation and tests the full cycle.

Replacing Old Intercom Systems in Chislehurst
Many Chislehurst properties have audio-only intercom systems from the 1990s — often Entryphone or BPT units with deteriorating wiring. These systems buzz or crackle, lose connection in rain, and have no video capability. We remove the old panel, installs the Videx GSM unit in the same location, and connects it to the existing gate automation. The old wiring is simply left redundant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need good phone signal at the gate for GSM?
Yes, but Chislehurst has strong mobile coverage across all major networks. Your engineer tests signal strength at the gate position during the survey and selects the best network for the location.
Can the intercom ring multiple phones?
Yes — the system can be configured to call multiple numbers in sequence. Homeowner, partner, au pair, cleaner — each answers and releases the gate from their own phone.
How long does installation take?
Typically half a day. If the gate automation needs modification to accept the intercom integration, it may take a full day. We confirm the timeline during the initial assessment.
Can I keep my existing keypad?
Yes — the keypad and the GSM intercom can work in parallel. We configure both to operate the same gate.
What happens if nobody answers the intercom?
The system can be set to try multiple numbers, then go to voicemail. No visitor goes unrecorded.
