Property Type: Residential | Location: Armadale | Services: Intercom
Not every security challenge is about cameras and alarms. For this Armadale client, the core problem was simple but genuinely frustrating: she spends a significant amount of time at her country property, which means her Armadale home sits unattended for extended periods. Missed deliveries, unannounced visitors, and the inability to manage her front door remotely were all pain points she wanted solved. The answer was a smart, modern intercom and access control system that works just as well from a farm in regional Victoria as it does from the couch inside.
BPoint installed the Aiphone JO wireless intercom and access control kit, a flush-mounted, vandal-resistant unit with a clean, architectural finish that suits the style of homes in this part of Melbourne. Armadale is a suburb where presentation matters, and the Aiphone JO delivers on that front without compromising on functionality. The flush mount installation gives the entry panel a refined, integrated look rather than the surface-mounted appearance of a standard intercom unit.
The system was configured with two relays, meaning it can independently control two separate entry points from the one unit. Both doors can be released from inside the house or, crucially, from anywhere in the world via a mobile app. When a visitor presses the intercom panel, the client’s phone rings just like a call, she can see who is there via the built-in camera, speak with them directly, and choose to open one or both doors remotely if appropriate. If she is not available immediately, she will not miss the notification: the app logs the interaction and she can review it at any time.
For a client who travels frequently or manages two properties, this kind of remote access control is genuinely transformative. Parcel deliveries can be redirected to a safe spot, tradspeople can be let in and out without requiring a physical key handover, and unexpected visitors can be screened and responded to regardless of where she is at the time. The days of returning home to a pile of missed delivery cards or having to arrange key collection in advance are behind her.
The vandal-resistant construction of the Aiphone JO is also worth noting. Entry panels on residential properties are exposed to the elements and, occasionally, to deliberate interference. The robust build quality of this unit means it will continue to perform reliably over the long term without cosmetic or functional deterioration.
The installation was completed neatly with all cabling concealed, and the client received a full walkthrough of the app and system controls before the team departed.
