Building & tower intercom
Visitors find the right flat or office from the lobby; tenants answer on a screen or their phone.
UltraTech Kuwait installs IP intercom systems for buildings in Kuwait: a lobby door station with a directory, an indoor monitor or the mobile app for each flat or office, and gate stations where needed, all on the building's network cabling. Every system is designed to the doors and the people who answer them, and quoted after a site visit.

Old buzzers fail as the building ages
Analogue intercoms stop working one flat at a time, spare parts disappear, and tenants end up giving their mobile number to every courier.
- Dead buzzers in some flats
- No video of who is calling
- Couriers calling tenants' mobiles
- Adding a unit means rewiring
