Video Door Phone Selector
Tell us your building type, how many monitors / flats and the features you want — and we recommend the right system (wired VDP, IP intercom or multi-apartment), the station and monitor count, an indicative ₹ band and PoE/backup notes. Indicative India 2026; confirm with an integrator.
Your setup
One or two private gates; a few indoor monitors. Pull Cat6/2-wire now; PoE keeps it tidy. Indicative India 2026 — varies by brand, spec and integrator.
Recommended system
IP / Wi-Fi video intercom
Mobile-app forwarding, recording, multi-gate or several monitors point to an IP/Wi-Fi system that scales over the network.
Outdoor stations

How each system suits your situation
Suitability score (0–100) for your inputs. The recommended system is highlighted.
Notes for your install
- Run Cat6 to each station/monitor and use PoE switches — single cable for data + power, neatest for new builds.
- India power-cut reality: put the panel, monitors and any lock controller on a UPS/inverter — and choose fail-safe vs fail-secure by door role (escape routes must release on power loss/fire alarm, per NBC).
- Recording needs an SD card / NVR; check resolution and retention.
- Mobile-app forwarding needs reliable internet at the gate/router and depends on the brand's cloud — confirm there's no per-call/subscription fee.
Spec the right intercom for your gate
DesignAI matches the video door phone / intercom to your building, wiring and features — and sense-checks brands, PoE/backup and budget before you call an integrator.
Assumptions. Bands are indicative India 2026 ranges covering outdoor stations, indoor monitors, recording/app add-ons and rough cabling/installation; brand, screen size, resolution and integrator margins move the number. GST is 18% and is shown on the headline band.
This is a planning tool, not a quote — get a quote from a security integrator or electrician and isolate power before any wiring work. For door-lock release, choose fail-safe vs fail-secure by the door's role: escape routes must stay free to exit and release on a fire alarm / power loss (NBC), while secure non-egress doors can be fail-secure. Always put the panel, monitors and lock controller on backup power.
