These are the intercom, access control, and security camera products DSS installs and services across NYC and Long Island. Every product here is one we know well: we install it, program it, and support it after the job is done.
Prices depend on your building and the wiring we find, so every order starts with a free quote. See our intercom cost guide for typical prices. Call (212) 262-2820 and we’ll help you pick the right system, or learn more about our intercom installation and repair services.
Comelit. Italian-designed video intercoms with touch screen entrance panels and a phone app. The Comelit Ultra Touch panel and the Ultra Touch VIP Kit are popular upgrades for apartment buildings, and they can work alongside your existing intercom units.
Aiphone. A long-time standard in NYC buildings. We install and repair the Aiphone GT Series multi-tenant system, including entrance panels like the GT-DMB-N and tenant stations like the GT-1C7, plus the JP Series for smaller buildings.
DNAKE. Cloud-based smart intercoms with facial recognition and large touch screens, like the DNAKE S617.
We also work with Akuvox, ButterflyMX, DoorKing, Linear, Leedan, Elvox, and 2Easy systems.
The right system depends on your building, not on what’s newest. Here’s what we look at with you:
For video surveillance, we install IP cameras like the PAR 4MP turret camera and the PAR 2MP bullet camera, with recording, remote viewing, and cloud storage options.
We also carry replacement parts that keep older intercoms running, such as the PK-543A intercom amplifier and handset-style apartment stations. Replacing one failed part is often much cheaper than a new system.
You can find many of these products online, but an intercom only works as well as its installation. When you buy through DSS, a certified technician checks your wiring, installs the system, programs every apartment, and shows you how to use the app. You also get one company to call if something goes wrong. On Comelit video intercom installs, we offer a 3-year guarantee on Comelit material and a 1-year guarantee on service and labor. DSS is licensed and insured, so your property is protected while we work.
Many buildings combine these: a new video panel with phone access that still rings the existing apartment units. Read about our audio-to-video upgrade.
If you manage one or more buildings, the right product depends on more than price. Think about how tenants get deliveries, how often residents move, how many entrances you need to control, and whether you want to update the directory from your phone or computer. Standardizing on one system across your buildings also makes repairs faster. We’ll help you compare the total cost over five and ten years, including any monthly fees. See our intercom cost guide.
Every product on this page is installed by DSS. After you choose one, a technician visits the property to check the wiring, the door hardware, and where the equipment will go. You get a written quote, we schedule the installation, and we program and test the system before we leave. If you’re not sure which product fits, call us and we’ll recommend one after the visit.

For a private house or a two-family home, a video door station like the Aiphone JP-DV with an indoor monitor and phone access is usually all you need. Small walk-ups often do well with a compact video entrance panel that works with the existing apartment units, which keeps the cost down. We’ll help you choose between a simple wired system and one with app access based on how you want to answer the door.
Offices and shops usually need a video entrance station at the door, a desk station or app for staff, and a way for employees to get in without a key. A keypad like the Aiphone AC-10S keypad handles staff entry, and a camera at the door gives you a record of visitors. We can connect these so one person manages the entrance from the front desk.
Yes. We install, program, and service every product listed here, and we can repair many older systems that aren’t listed.
It depends on the number of units, the entrance panel you choose, and the condition of your wiring. We give you a free quote after we inspect the building, so you know the full price before any work starts.
In many buildings, yes. Our Comelit video intercom works alongside your existing intercom units, so tenants keep their apartment units and can also answer the door from their cellphones.
Our Comelit systems are a one-time investment with no monthly payment. Property management software and call-log servers are optional and sold separately.
It depends on the building. The Aiphone GT Series is a strong choice for large multi-tenant buildings, Comelit Ultra Touch works well when you want touch screen entry and phone access with your existing units, and DNAKE suits buildings that want cloud access and facial recognition. We’ll recommend one after seeing the property.
Yes. We carry common parts like intercom amplifiers and handset-style apartment stations, so many repairs on older systems are done in one visit.
On Comelit video intercom installs, we offer a 3-year guarantee on Comelit material and a 1-year guarantee on service and labor. For other products, we explain the manufacturer warranty before we start.
