Commercial Intercom Systems Designed Around Your Premises

An intercom system is your first point of control over who enters your building. Whether you need a simple audio panel on a single entrance or video entry across multiple doors integrated with your access control, we design door entry solutions around how your premises actually operates.

As a Paxton partner, we install wired intercom and door entry systems built on one of the UK’s most trusted access control platforms, alongside systems from other leading manufacturers including Videx and Hikvision. Whatever your premises needs, we’ll recommend the right system for the job, configured to manufacturer standards and backed by our in house maintenance support.

Video Intercom

See and speak to visitors before granting access. Video entry panels display a live image of whoever is at the door, allowing your staff to verify identity before releasing the door, from a handset, monitor or desk station. The right choice for offices, multi tenant buildings and any premises where visual verification matters.

Audio Intercom

A reliable, cost effective entry solution where visitors announce themselves before access is granted. Ideal for lower risk entrances, internal doors, trade counters and premises where visual verification isn't a requirement.

Integrated Door Entry

Intercoms work best as part of a complete entry solution. We integrate intercom panels with access control, electric door releases and CCTV, so your team can verify, admit and log every visitor through one system.

Do I Need an Intercom System?

If anyone other than staff needs to get into your building, visitors, deliveries, contractors, clients. An intercom gives you control over that entrance without someone having to physically attend the door.

Controlled Visitor Access

Verify who’s at your entrance before letting them in. No more unlocked front doors and no more walking across the building to answer a knock. Your team controls entry from wherever they’re working.

Staff Safety & Lone Working

For premises with lone workers or public facing reception areas, an intercom puts a barrier between your staff and unverified visitors. This is particularly valuable out of hours or in buildings without a staffed front desk.

Deliveries & Contractors

Manage deliveries and contractor access efficiently without leaving the door open or issuing keys. Speak to the driver, verify the visit and release the door, all from a handset or desk station.

Integration with Your Wider Security

An intercom doesn’t operate in isolation. Combined with access control and CCTV, every entry is verified, logged and recorded, giving you a complete picture of who entered your building and when.

Not sure if an intercom is right for your premises? We’d rather give you an honest answer than sell you something you don’t need. Get in touch and one of our team will talk through your requirements, with no obligation and no pressure.

Premises We Install Intercom Systems In

We install intercom and door entry systems across a wide range of commercial premises throughout Hull and East Yorkshire. Every system is designed around how your building and your visitors actually work.

Offices & Corporate

Control visitor access at reception, manage deliveries and keep unstaffed entrances secure, with entry managed from a desk station or handset.

Industrial & Manufacturing

Verify drivers, contractors and visitors at gates and entrances without staff leaving the floor. Robust panels built to handle demanding environments and constant daily use.

Manage vehicle and pedestrian access at barriers, gates and car park entrances. Visitors call through, your team verifies and releases, and every entry is controlled from inside the building.

Warehouses & Logistics

Handle driver and delivery access at loading bays and trade entrances efficiently. Speak to the driver, confirm the visit and release the door or gate without leaving the office.

Schools and Education

Keep entrances locked during the school day while reception verifies every visitor before granting access, supporting your safeguarding responsibilities without disrupting legitimate visitors.

Retail & Hospitality

Control back of house entrances where deliveries and reps come and go throughout the day, and keep staff only areas separate from public spaces.

If your premises isn’t listed, get in touch. We work across a wide range of sites and can advise on the right door entry solution for your building.

Why Choose Cobra for Door Entry in Hull?

A door entry system is only as good as its installation. Poorly routed cabling, badly positioned panels or cheap door hardware lead to systems that fail exactly when you need them. Here’s what sets Cobra apart.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a commercial intercom system cost?

A single entrance audio intercom starts from a few hundred pounds installed, while multi entrance video entry systems integrated with access control will vary with scope. We provide itemised quotes after a site survey, so there’s no guesswork.

What’s the difference between audio and video intercom?

Audio intercoms let you speak to visitors before granting access. Video intercoms let you see them as well. Video costs more but provides visual verification, which is worth it for most commercial entrances, while audio remains a solid choice for lower risk doors.

Which intercom brands do you install?

We’re a Paxton partner and also install systems from other leading manufacturers including Videx and Hikvision. We’re not tied to a single product range, so we recommend the system that best suits your premises, entrance layout and budget.

Can an intercom integrate with our access control system?

Yes, this is exactly what systems like Paxton are designed for. Intercom, access control and door releases all run on one platform, so staff use fobs while visitors use the intercom, and every entry is logged in one place.

Can we answer the intercom from more than one location?

Yes. Modern entry systems support multiple internal stations, so reception, the office and the warehouse can all answer and release the door. Some configurations also support answering remotely.

Do you take over existing intercom systems?

In most cases, yes. We can inspect your existing system, advise on whether it’s worth maintaining or replacing, and take over servicing if it’s in workable condition.

How often should an intercom system be serviced?

We recommend annual servicing as a minimum for commercial door entry. External panels in particular take a beating from weather and daily use. Regular maintenance keeps the system reliable and your documentation in order.
