Cloud Based Phone-Entry & Access Control Systems
Phone Entry Systems for Apartments and Commercial Properties
For property managers comparing apartment phone entry systems or commercial phone-entry systems, the right solution should make shared-entry decisions easier. InVision Systems designs and installs cloud-based phone-entry and intercom systems for Chicago-area properties. Visitors use the entry directory to call a resident or designated contact, and authorized users can decide whether to grant access.
How it works for apartment and multi-tenant buildings
For apartment buildings, the system can support large resident directories and guest calls at a shared entrance. Property managers can update resident information through a web browser, while residents can use the phone-entry process to identify visitors before allowing access. InVision sizes the system around the property’s doors, resident count, and operating needs.
How it works for commercial properties
For offices and other commercial properties, phone entry can help manage visitor, employee, and staff access at one building or across multiple facilities. A stand-alone or cloud-based configuration can be selected based on the site’s internet, SIP-provider, door, and management requirements.
What to compare before choosing a phone-entry system
- Number and type of entry points, doors, and connected facilities
- Resident, employee, visitor, and administrator capacity
- Browser-based remote management and whether cloud connectivity fits the property
- Touchscreen visibility, weather protection, and day-to-day durability
- Installation, integration, and ongoing support from a security systems integrator

A phone-entry with access-control capacity offers the ability to regulate who is entering your facilities and alerts on unauthorized attempts to enter. Once an access control system is installed, facility doors will automatically lock, allowing only residents and staff with the right credentials access into the building. Guests may use the system to call a resident to grant access.
