Whether you are building a new residence on Lake Mendota or renovating a classic bungalow off Monroe Street, a reliable door intercom system is no longer a luxury—it is a core safety feature. CountBricks combines on-site craftsmanship with AI-driven estimating to deliver door intercom Madison WI homeowners rely on for peace of mind and modern convenience.
Safety: Protect loved ones by screening visitors from any room or smartphone.
Convenience: Receive deliveries, grant access to trades, and answer the door without pausing family time.
Property Value: Appraisers in Dane County report higher resale values for homes with integrated smart security.
Today’s intercoms integrate HD cameras, two-way audio, motion alerts and cloud recording. CountBricks partners with leading manufacturers and programs every unit to your Wi-Fi and smart-home hub. Our technicians also ensure door strikes, magnetic locks and power supplies meet Wisconsin Residential Building Code.
Because prices fluctuate with chip availability and low-voltage labor demand, a static price list is worthless. CountBricks’ AI pulls live material pricing from regional suppliers every time you speak with our estimator. The result: an on-the-spot figure that reflects current
• equipment options (basic audio or full video)
• wiring distance from door to central panel
• retrofit versus new-construction rough-in
• integration with existing security or smart-home platforms
• required electrical upgrades or transformer swaps
1. Schedule a voice consultation through CountBricks.com/services. Our AI records dimensions while you talk, producing a preliminary takeoff in minutes.
2. A licensed technician conducts an on-site walk-through, confirming conduit paths, mounting heights, and code clearances.
3. You receive a detailed line-item estimate and digital blueprint overlay generated by CountBricks AI. Approve it with one click.
4. Rough-in stage: we run CAT6 or 18/2 shielded cable, install backboxes, and label circuits per our CountBricks quality checklist.
5. Trim-out stage: we mount the intercom panel, connect PoE injectors or low-voltage transformers, and program the system to your devices.
6. Final walkthrough: our team trains your family on features and provides an as-built report stored in your CountBricks client portal.
Madison homeowners increasingly connect intercoms to smart locks, lighting scenes and HVAC. CountBricks coordinates with electricians and AV specialists so your doorbell event can:
• turn on the porch light at dusk
• unlock for trusted guests during preset hours
• pause house audio when someone rings
This whole-home approach eliminates app overload and keeps daily routines effortless.
Cold Weather Performance: Sub-zero winters can drain power supplies. CountBricks specifies heaters or 24-volt units rated down to -40°F.
Historic Facades: For Summit Avenue stonework, we use flush-mount bezels and color-matched plates to preserve curb appeal.
Multi-Unit Homes: Duplexes near UW campus need separate call buttons and cloud log-ins. Our AI automatically scales hardware and labor for each tenant module.
• Run an extra data cable now—future 4K video upgrades will thank you.
• Place chime modules away from HVAC returns to avoid audio distortion.
• Use a static IP address to prevent remote-access dropouts.
• Angle the camera 15° downward to capture packages, not just faces.
• Add a surge protector; Midwest lightning storms can fry low-voltage boards.
Every install includes a 12-month workmanship warranty and optional CountBricks Care Plan. Our AI schedules firmware updates automatically and flags abnormal voltage draws before failure. Homeowners receive:
• semi-annual system health reports
• discounted service calls
• lifetime access to digital manuals inside the CountBricks portal

When the Larsen family transformed their 1970s ranch near Odana Hills, they wanted more than new siding—they needed modern security that blended with fresh cedar trim. CountBricks recommended a flush-mount video intercom paired with smart deadbolts.
• Square footage: 2,400 sf
• Timeline: 3 weeks from estimate to final hand-off
• Budget: $3,950 (intercom, cabling, labor, programming)
