Cellular and wired video intercoms for Houston homes, estates, and commercial entries, with app control from anywhere.
A gate intercom used to be a speaker box and a landline. Today it is a camera, a microphone, and an app: a visitor presses the button, your phone rings with live video, and you open the gate from wherever you are. If you are not home, you can still let the plumber in and watch him leave.
Texas Gates installs cellular and hardwired video intercoms at driveway gates, estate entries, and commercial gates across greater Houston. We are certified CellGate installers and also install DoorKing and LiftMaster video entry, so we recommend the platform that fits your property instead of the one we happen to sell.
The unit mounts on a post or pedestal at the gate. When a visitor presses the call button, it streams video and audio to your phone or a wall station inside. You can talk, open the gate, or ignore it. Most systems also let you issue a one-time PIN or QR pass to a delivery driver or contractor and see a log of every entry.
Cellular intercoms like the CellGate Watchman need only power at the gate, which makes them the right answer for long drives, acreage, and any property where trenching data to the gate is not practical. Hardwired IP intercoms make sense when the gate is close to the building and you want no monthly cellular plan. We quote both when both are viable.
For estates with a main gate and a service entry, or properties with staff and frequent deliveries, we set up user groups, schedules, and separate credentials so the landscaper's code works Tuesday mornings and nothing else. We can integrate with Control4, Savant, and Crestron where the home already runs on one of them.
Apartment communities, office parks, storage facilities, and gated business parks use video intercoms with tenant directories so residents and tenants get calls on their phones, not a landline in an office nobody staffs after five.
CellGate (Watchman, OmniPoint, Entria, CG Readers), LiftMaster and myQ, DoorKing telephone entry and access controllers, Viking Access, and Apollo Gate operators. We repair most other brands including Elite, Linear, and Nice.
No. Modern systems run on cellular or internet. We replace old landline telephone entry units regularly because the phone line was cancelled or the copper failed.
Yes. The call goes to your phone anywhere you have service. You can see the visitor, talk, and open the gate.
Yes. CellGate and similar platforms let you send a PIN or QR pass that expires when you say. The entry is logged with a photo.
Almost always. The intercom connects to the operator's open input. We confirm compatibility during the site visit.
Cellular systems carry a service plan for the connection and cloud features. Hardwired IP systems typically do not. We explain both costs in the quote so you can pick.
Call and we answer within 30 minutes. The owner or a senior technician comes out, diagnoses, and gives you a written quote on the spot.
