What is a video door phone system?
A video door phone system — also called a video intercom or video door bell — combines a camera-equipped outdoor door station with an indoor monitor, allowing residents or staff to see, speak with, and remotely grant access to visitors without opening a door. In Abu Dhabi, video intercom installations for residential and commercial buildings are carried out by integrators such as Emirtech Technology, an ADMCC-approved security systems company based in Mussafah and established in 2018. Emirtech designs and installs wired and IP-network video door phone systems for single villas, high-rise towers, and multi-building compounds, integrating them with access control and CCTV where required. These video door entry systems let you see and speak to visitors before granting access.

Why Choose Emirtech for Video Door Phones
Wired & IP Intercom Systems
We supply and install both traditional 2-wire / 4-wire video door phone systems and modern IP-based intercoms, selecting the right technology for your building type, cable infrastructure, and budget.
HD Video with Night Vision
Door stations we install typically feature wide-angle HD cameras with infrared night vision, helping identify visitors clearly in low-light conditions at night or in covered porches.
Integration with Access Control
Video door phones can be integrated with electric strikes, magnetic locks, card readers, and biometric systems so residents or security staff can grant or deny entry directly from the indoor monitor or smartphone.
Mobile App & Remote Answering
IP and SIP-based intercom systems allow residents and building managers to receive visitor calls and unlock doors remotely via a smartphone app — ideal for managing deliveries when away from home.
Annual Maintenance Contracts
Emirtech offers AMC packages that include scheduled inspections, cleaning of door station lenses, firmware updates, and priority fault-response to keep your intercom system reliable year-round.
Wired vs. IP Video Intercom: Technology Comparison
Selecting the right intercom architecture depends on your building type, number of units, cable infrastructure, and integration requirements. The table below summarises the two main technologies Emirtech installs across Abu Dhabi.
| Feature | Wired Video Door Phone (2-wire / 4-wire) | IP / SIP Video Intercom |
|---|---|---|
| Typical use case | Single villas, small offices, low-rise buildings | Residential towers, compounds, multi-tenant buildings |
| Cabling | Dedicated 2-wire or 4-wire bus cable | Existing Cat 5e / Cat 6 LAN or PoE network |
| Indoor station | Dedicated colour monitor (4–10 inch) | IP monitor, SIP phone, or smartphone app |
| Mobile answering | Not standard (requires gateway add-on) | Native: iOS & Android push notifications |
| Number of units | 1–32 indoor monitors per system | Virtually unlimited via server or cloud |
| Access control | Relay output to electric strike / maglok | Full integration with card readers, biometrics, barriers |
| Video recording | Local memory / SD card on some models | NVR / VMS / cloud storage |
Analogue vs. IP: Which is Right for You?
- Single villas and townhouses — A wired 2-wire colour video door phone with one or two indoor monitors is a cost-effective and reliable solution requiring minimal network infrastructure.
- Apartment towers and compounds — IP or SIP-based systems scale to hundreds of apartments, support management software, and allow security-desk operators and residents to answer calls simultaneously.
- Mixed-use and commercial buildings — IP intercoms with server-side software enable lobby directory panels, visitor logging, and audit trails required by property managers and building authorities.

Today's video door phones deliver far more than a simple bell and camera. Emirtech configures every system to maximise convenience, security, and reliability for your specific property type in Abu Dhabi.

Video Intercom Solutions by Property Type
Villas & Private Residences
For standalone villas in Abu Dhabi's residential areas, Emirtech typically installs a flush-mount or surface-mount door station at the entrance gate and one or more colour indoor monitors (7–10 inch) inside the property. Systems are wired during construction or installed retrospectively via concealed conduit. Outdoor door stations are typically IP65-rated for the UAE climate, with sun shields where required. An electric strike or magnetic lock on the gate completes the access control loop.
Residential Towers & High-Rise Buildings
Multi-storey residential towers require a lobby panel with apartment directory, a centralised controller or server, and individual indoor monitors in each unit. IP-based systems allow the building security desk to monitor and manage all calls. Residents can answer from their indoor monitor or via the mobile app. We support major platforms including Hikvision DS-KH series, Akuvox, and 2N IP intercoms.
Gated Compounds & Housing Developments
Compounds require intercom at vehicle-entry barriers, pedestrian gates, and individual villa entrances — all managed from a central guard-house station. Emirtech designs compound-wide intercom networks integrated with automatic barriers and CCTV for complete perimeter security. Visitor management software can capture number plates and log entry/exit events for residents and guests.
Commercial & Office Buildings
Offices and commercial premises benefit from IP intercoms with SIP integration into PBX telephone systems, allowing receptionists to manage visitor calls from their desk phone or PC. Multi-door systems with door controllers manage access across multiple entry points with a full audit trail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a video door phone and how does it work?
A video door phone system consists of an outdoor door station fitted with a camera and microphone, and one or more indoor monitors. When a visitor presses the call button, the indoor monitor rings and displays a live video feed. The resident can speak with the visitor and release the door lock remotely without opening the door.
Is Emirtech Technology approved to install video intercom systems in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Emirtech Technology is an ADMCC-approved security systems integrator based in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi. Emirtech has operated since 2018 and supplies and installs video door phone and intercom systems for villas, towers, and compounds across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
Does Emirtech install video door phones in Dubai as well as Abu Dhabi?
No. Emirtech Technology is ADMCC-approved for the Abu Dhabi emirate, which includes Al Ain. We do not hold SIRA approval and do not deliver video door phone or intercom installation projects in Dubai.
What is the difference between a wired and an IP video intercom?
Wired video door phones use a dedicated 2-wire or 4-wire cable bus and are well-suited to single villas and small buildings. IP video intercoms run over a standard network (Cat 6 / PoE) and are designed for multi-unit buildings, towers, and compounds where residents also want to answer visitor calls via a smartphone app and where integration with access control software is required.
Can I answer my video door phone on my mobile phone?
Yes, with an IP or SIP-based intercom system. When a visitor presses the door station button, the system sends a push notification to your iOS or Android device. You can see the live video feed, speak with the visitor, and unlock the door remotely — even if you are not at home.
Do video door phones work with electric gates and access control systems?
Yes. Emirtech installs video door phones with relay outputs that connect directly to electric strikes, magnetic locks, and automatic gate operators. For larger buildings and compounds, IP intercoms integrate fully with card-reader and biometric access control platforms, allowing centralised visitor management and a complete entry-exit audit trail.
How much does a video door phone installation cost in Abu Dhabi?
Cost depends on the type of system (wired or IP), number of door stations and indoor monitors, cabling requirements, and any access control integration. A basic villa installation with one door station and one indoor monitor is straightforward; compound and tower systems vary considerably. Emirtech offers a free site survey and itemised quotation — call +971 55 651 7843 or email [email protected] to arrange a visit.
Which brands of video door phones does Emirtech supply and install?
Emirtech installs video intercom systems from Hikvision (DS-KH and DS-KV series), Akuvox, 2N, and Comelit, among others. Brand selection is based on the project type, scale, and integration requirements to ensure long-term reliability and manufacturer warranty coverage.
Do you provide maintenance for video door phone systems?
Yes. Emirtech offers Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) for video intercom systems, covering scheduled preventive inspections, door station lens cleaning, firmware updates, and priority fault-response. An AMC is particularly recommended for compound and tower installations to ensure continued reliability for all residents.
