Why upgrading to a video intercom is worth it
An audio intercom does the job, but a video intercom adds a layer of security and convenience you notice every day, especially in Valencia city, where doorstep scams ("I've come to read the meter...") are still common:
- See who's calling before opening, day and night (Fermax panels include cameras with night vision).
- Protection for the most vulnerable: children arriving home alone or elderly people can check who it is without opening.
- With WiFi systems like Fermax Blue, answer the call and open the door from your phone even when you're out: ideal for deliveries or second homes.
- It adds value to the home and building: one of the best cost/benefit upgrades for communities.
Your options depending on your situation
Single-family home or villa
The simplest case: the complete kit is replaced (street panel + indoor monitor). A Fermax VEO kit with WiFi gives you colour video, smartphone door release and hands-free operation. Installation takes a morning.
Flat in a building with a communal intercom
Two routes here: the community renews the complete system (the recommended option, with a new video panel at the entrance and a monitor in each flat that wants one), or individual solutions if the panel already has a camera and your system is compatible.
A community wanting to modernise
Renewing the whole community's system with DUOX Plus reuses the existing wiring. Each resident chooses their terminal: audio-only phone, basic monitor or WiFi monitor. The new street panel serves everyone, and since 2023 Fermax offers a 5-year warranty on DUOX Plus systems for communities.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. In most cases the installation can be modernised, either by replacing the community's complete system or with individual solutions depending on the existing installation. Fermax DUOX Plus systems reuse the existing two-wire cabling, which greatly reduces the cost.
Replacing only your indoor phone with a compatible one usually doesn't require permission, but to add video the street panel needs a camera. If the panel is audio-only, the change affects a communal element and requires the homeowners' association's approval.
A Fermax video intercom kit for a single-family home starts at around €400-700 installed, depending on the model. In communities the price depends on the number of flats and the state of the wiring. We provide a fixed, no-obligation quote after seeing the installation.
