Apartment Video Door System Planner
A first-pass plan for a multi-apartment video door / intercom system. Enter your building and get the component counts, the sensible architecture and an indicative cost band — a starting point to take to a consultant or installer, not a quotation. Runs in your browser.
A wide first-pass band — actual quotes vary by brand, resolution, city and site. Use it to sanity-check a proposal, not to budget precisely.
At this scale you want a networked system: any monitor or the guard can answer any door, every flat gets an app, and it integrates with the gate, CCTV and access control. Plan structured cabling, PoE switches and a riser per floor at build stage.
Lobby footage and visitor logs are personal data under the DPDP Act, 2023 — the building owner/RWA must set who administers access and how long logs are kept. Cabling, mains and gate-lock work is for licensed trades.
