Just a few weeks ago, we walked into a building in Vancouver that reminded us how far intercom systems have come—and how many buildings are still playing catch-up.
Each unit had a wired telephone-style intercom.
Residents were using keys to open the front door.
They used another key to open the parkade gate.
No video. No mobile control. No convenience.
We asked the property manager, “What happens if someone loses a key or needs access remotely?”
She sighed, “It’s a headache. We have to arrange for a locksmith, or meet someone in person.”
That’s when WeTech Security Solutions stepped in to modernize the building—and take the stress off the manager’s shoulders.
The Plan: One Smart Intercom, Full Building Control
We replaced the old system with a modern smart video intercom—a system with 3 relays, built-in access control, and smartphone integration.
Here’s how the transformation unfolded:
🚪 Front Door Access – Reimagined
We connected Relay 1 to the front entrance.
Now, when someone rings the unit, residents receive a video call directly on their smartphone.
They can see who’s at the door and open it remotely—no more blind buzzing.
And forget about keys…
Residents can now enter the building using:
-
Face recognition
-
PIN codes
-
NFC/fobs
-
Bluetooth or the mobile app
-
Even Siri voice commands
🚗 Parkade Gate – Hands-Free Entry
The parkade gate was previously accessed with an old-school key.
We connected Relay 2 of the intercom directly to the gate.
Now?
Residents open the parkade with the same mobile app, no extra remotes needed.
They can even say, “Hey Siri, open parkade gate”—and drive right in.
👨💼 For the Property Manager – Less Hassle, More Control
This upgrade wasn’t just for residents. It made life easier for the property manager, too.
Now, she can:
-
Add or remove residents remotely
-
Avoid locksmiths and key copies
-
Send out building-wide announcements through the intercom
-
Enjoy a cleaner, more efficient access control system
✨ A True Transformation
Before the Upgrade:
-
Landline intercoms in units

Imagine selling a unit in this building.
Instead of handing over keys, you walk the buyer to the front door and open it with facial recognition.
They see the clean, modern intercom panel.
You say, “You can manage all this from your phone.”
That first impression sells.
We’re proud to bring this kind of transformation to buildings across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Langley, and Coquitlam.
