Intercom and video doorbell: what the job involves

Fitting a video doorbell for a house or an audio or video door-entry intercom for a house or apartment block, with chimes, indoor screens and phone app set-up. A doorbell alone is not licensed work, but door-entry systems that release a lock may fall under the PSA’s access control sector.

How long it takes: A video doorbell usually takes one to three hours; a multi-unit intercom with door release takes a day or more.

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

  • Battery or wired doorbell, and whether a transformer must be fitted
  • Single house or multi-apartment panel
  • Door release, electric lock or gate integration
  • Wi-Fi signal at the door
  • Cable runs to indoor screens
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

Rules and grants for intercom and video doorbell

The rules in Ireland

Installers of intruder alarms, CCTV and access control must hold a Private Security Authority licence for each sector they work in.

  • Licences are issued per sector — Access Control, CCTV, Intruder Alarm — and last two years; the PSA register shows each contractor’s sectors and expiry dates.
  • Under section 38 of the Private Security Services Act 2004 it is an offence to engage an unlicensed contractor for a licensable security service (up to €3,000 and/or 12 months on summary conviction); being shown the licence is a defence, so ask to see it.

What to ask before you choose

  • What is your PSA licence number, and does it cover this sector?
  • Is monitoring included, and what does it cost after the first year?
  • Who owns the recordings, and where are they stored?
  • Is VAT included?

What the work usually involves

  • Intruder alarms
  • CCTV cameras
  • Intercoms and video doorbells
  • Smart heating controls

What to put in your task

  • The size of the property and the entrances
  • Whether you have bought the equipment
  • Whether you want monitoring or app access
  • Where cables can and cannot run
