A visitor arrives at the gate and looks up the resident or business in the directory. They press the call button, which dials the registered phone number. The resident or staff member answers and can press a key on their phone (usually 9) to open the gate remotely. All calls and entries are logged.
Basic residential telephone entry panels start around $1,500-$3,000 installed. Commercial multi-tenant systems range from $3,000-$8,000 depending on directory size and features. Industrial systems with video and integration capabilities run $5,000-$12,000+.
Yes. Modern telephone entry systems dial any phone number, including cell phones and landlines. This means residents and staff do not need to be on-site to authorize gate entry. Cloud-based systems also offer smartphone apps for even more control.
Most commercial telephone entry systems support 100-2,000+ directory entries. Large HOA and apartment systems can handle 3,000+ entries. Entries can be organized alphabetically, by unit number, or by department for easy visitor lookup.
For single-tenant residential and small commercial properties, the AES Opyn is often a better choice than a traditional telephone entry panel. It combines video intercom, keypad, fob reader, and smartphone access in one device at a lower price point. Traditional telephone entry systems remain the better option for large multi-tenant properties like apartment buildings and HOAs with 100+ residents who each need their own directory entry. Dubya Fence installs both and can recommend the best fit during a free consultation.
