Need to keep your building entrance locked without making employees, tenants or property staff walk to the door for every visitor? Fresh USA installs commercial video intercom systems, door buzzers and visitor entry systems throughout Chicago and nearby Illinois suburbs.
Our systems help you see or speak with visitors before unlocking the entrance. We provide new installations, replacement of outdated intercoms and upgrades for offices, apartment buildings, condominium properties and commercial facilities.
Commercial Video Intercom Installation
A video intercom allows authorized staff or tenants to see and speak with a visitor before opening the entrance. The visitor presses a call button outside, and the call is sent to an indoor monitor, reception desk, office, tenant station or compatible mobile device.
A professionally installed video intercom system can help you:
- Keep the main entrance locked
- See visitors before allowing entry
- Speak with delivery drivers, contractors and guests
- Unlock the door from a desk, office or tenant unit
- Reduce uncontrolled visitor entry
- Manage one or multiple building entrances
- Replace an outdated apartment or office intercom
- Connect visitor entry with compatible electronic door hardware
Fresh USA designs the system around the way your property handles visitors. We do not recommend unnecessary features or equipment that does not fit the building.
Door Buzzer Installation in Chicago
A commercial door buzzer system gives employees, reception staff or tenants a simple way to communicate with a visitor and release a locked entrance remotely.
Door buzzer installation is a practical solution for buildings where the front entrance should remain secured during business hours. Instead of leaving the door unlocked, staff can confirm the visitor and press a button to release the entrance.
Fresh USA installs door buzzer systems for:
- Professional offices
- Apartment and condominium buildings
- Commercial properties
- Medical and dental offices
- Warehouses and distribution facilities
- Manufacturing buildings
- Schools and training facilities
- Healthcare and senior care properties
- Retail and mixed-use buildings
- Employee and delivery entrances
Apartment Building Intercom Installation
An apartment intercom system allows visitors to contact a resident while the main entrance remains locked. After speaking with or seeing the visitor, the resident can release the door from an indoor station, telephone or compatible mobile application.
Fresh USA installs and replaces intercom systems for apartment buildings, condominium associations and professionally managed residential properties.
Depending on the building, the system may include:
- An entrance call station
- A tenant directory
- Audio or video communication
- Remote door release
- Indoor tenant stations
- Mobile answering options
- Multiple entrances or buildings
- Property management controls
If the property already has an older intercom, we can review the entrance panel, wiring, door release and tenant stations to determine whether an upgrade or complete replacement is the better option.
Office Intercom and Visitor Entry Systems
An office intercom system allows reception staff to control the main entrance without leaving the desk. Visitors can press a call button, explain why they are there and wait for the door to be released.
A video intercom is especially useful when the entrance cannot be clearly seen from the reception area. Staff can confirm the visitor before unlocking the door.
Office intercom systems are commonly used for:
- Locked reception entrances
- Medical offices
- Professional service businesses
- Administrative buildings
- Employee-only facilities
- Warehouse visitor entrances
- After-hours deliveries
Replace or Upgrade an Existing Intercom
Older intercom systems often develop poor audio, unreliable call buttons, damaged entrance panels or door release problems. Replacement parts may also be difficult to obtain.
Fresh USA can evaluate an existing system and recommend a practical next step. Depending on the equipment and wiring, the project may involve:
- Replacing an outdated audio intercom
- Upgrading from audio to video
- Installing a new entrance panel
- Replacing indoor answering stations
- Adding mobile answering where supported
- Adding another entrance or answering location
- Connecting the system to compatible door release hardware
We can also install a new system for a property that currently relies on an unlocked entrance, a basic doorbell or employees manually opening the door.
Intercom and Key Card Entry in One System
An intercom manages visitors. A key card or key fob system manages routine entry for employees, tenants and approved contractors.
Combining these functions creates a practical entrance process:
- Employees or tenants enter with a key card or key fob
- Visitors use the intercom to contact an authorized person
- Staff see or speak with the visitor
- The entrance is unlocked only after approval

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does video intercom installation cost?
The cost depends on the number of entrances, answering stations, tenants or departments, existing wiring, door hardware and required features. Fresh USA can prepare an estimate after reviewing the property.
Can you install a door buzzer on an existing entrance?
Many existing commercial entrances can be equipped with an intercom and remote door release. The door, frame, lock, wiring, power and life-safety requirements must be evaluated first.
Can you replace an old apartment intercom?
Yes. We can inspect the existing entrance panel, tenant stations, door release and wiring and recommend an upgrade or replacement.
What is the difference between an audio and video intercom?
An audio intercom allows users to speak with visitors. A video intercom also provides a live view of the person at the entrance.
Can the intercom work with key cards or key fobs?
Yes. The intercom can manage visitors while a key card or key fob system manages entry for employees, tenants and approved users.
Can visitors be answered from a mobile phone?
Some compatible systems allow authorized users to answer visitor calls and release the entrance through a mobile application. Availability depends on the selected equipment and system configuration.
