An intercom connects an entry station to one or more answering points, so someone inside can see and speak to a visitor and release the door or gate without walking to it. The design work is deciding where the answering points are, whether they are physical stations or applications on phones, and how the door release is wired.

Where intercom installation goes wrong — and how it's avoided

• Mounting a station beside an air-conditioning unit or facing a busy road
• Leaving a west-facing station unhooded in full afternoon sun
• Running gate cable without conduit or surge protection
• Wiring release without confirming the egress arrangement
• Installing answering points where nobody spends the working day
• Assuming an existing gate operator's wiring can carry the intercom too
