Smartphone Intercoms

Smartphone Intercoms 

Give users the ability to answer your door station from a smartphone, with electronic lock release support.

View live video from the intercom door station and linked security cameras with smartphone intercoms.

CTC Communications stocks leading smartphone intercom brands with full app functionality so you can view your door station camera on your phone. Choose from Aiphone, Hikvision, HiLook, Dahua, Elvox, Golmar, and Kocom.

Having the ability to answer your intercom from your smartphone adds an extra layer of security: visitors can’t tell if you’re home, making smartphone intercoms an ideal choice.

Smartphone Intercoms — Comparison Guide

Shortlist by wiring, door station style, monitor size, and app features. (No pricing below — specs & suitability only.)

How to Choose (At-a-Glance)
  • Dwelling type: House, villa, unit; confirm flush vs surface mounting.
  • Wiring: Reuse 2-wire/4-wire or run new CAT6 (IP). Wireless suits rentals.
  • App experience: Answer calls, remote unlock, snapshots/video, multi-user, reliable push.
  • Door hardware: Need keypad, prox/QR, or call-button? Confirm strike power type.
  • Camera & view: 2MP/4MP, FOV, IR/night, WDR; facial recognition on select models.
  • Monitors: 7″ standard; choose single or two-monitor kits for upstairs/downstairs.
  • Security: App permissions, user codes, audit logs; keep firmware up to date.
  • Expandability: Extra door stations, secondary cameras, multi-apartment options.
  • Install: DIY pre-config possible; pro install ensures neat cabling & strike wiring.
Compare by Wiring Type (Best Starting Point)
2-Wire / Retrofit IP over CAT6 4-Wire Classic Wireless / Wi-Fi Doorbell
Wiring Type Typical Kits Best For App / Remote Door Station Styles Notes
2-Wire (retrofit) Aiphone JO (JOS-1VW/JOS-1FW/JOS-1AW; 1M/2M), Dahua KTX01 & KTX03 keypad, Hikvision DS-KIS702Y-P, Kocom 2-wire Existing cabling; minimal wall works Smartphone answer, unlock, push alerts Surface/flush, vandal, keypad options Check cable condition & length
IP (CAT6) Akuvox E12S/C313N, Dahua KTP01L-F / KTP02 / KTP05, Hikvision KIS602(F) / KIS603-P(C), HiLook HA-KIT-IP2, Elvox, Golmar GL-SOUL New builds/renos, multi-monitor Rich app features, multi-user, video clips Surface/flush; keypad/prox/facial on select PoE simplifies power; easy camera expansion
4-Wire Videoman 4-wire kits (Black/White) Legacy 4-wire sites App via gateway/Wi-Fi monitor (varies) Surface Confirm app capability per model
Wireless / Doorbell Alarm.com SmartChime (VDB780B), Videoman Wireless Rentals & quick installs App-first experience, cloud events Doorbell form factor Wi-Fi strength & power (battery/plug-in)

Tip: Start with your available cabling — that usually decides between 2-Wire retrofit or IP/CAT6.

Smartphone Intercom FAQs

Do I need Internet? The indoor monitor rings locally, but Internet is required for smartphone calls and remote unlock.

Can I reuse existing cables? Yes — 2-Wire kits are designed for retrofits. IP kits prefer CAT6 and PoE.

Can I unlock my electric strike from the app? Yes — supported on most kits once wired to the door station/relay.

Can I add a second monitor? Many families use a two-monitor kit for upstairs/downstairs convenience.

Need help choosing? Send your floorplan or doorway photos and we’ll recommend a kit that suits your cabling, access control and app needs.
