Intercoms & video doorbells

Intercoms and video doorbells in Canada

Updated 4 November 2026

A simple Wi-Fi or battery video doorbell costs about CA$70 to CA$110 in Canada right now, while a building intercom with an IP door station reaches about CA$1,160. The price depends on whether the system is a doorbell, a kit with an indoor screen, or a multi-unit intercom. For current offers, describe the property and the system you need on BlaBlaPrice and sellers will reply with their own offers.

Privacy and installer rules

In Quebec, recordings from a video doorbell and access data are protected under Law 25, so ask a seller how footage is stored and who can see it. Security installers in Quebec need a provincial licence, and the CAN/ULC alarm guidelines apply to alarm work, so ask for the licence number before the installation starts. Warranties for outdoor devices often exclude damage from storms and flooding. Canada's Office of Consumer Affairs advises checking the warranty laws of your province as well.

Season and weather

Winter, from December to February, and summer, from June to August, both expose an outdoor doorbell to a wide range of weather. For that reason the weather rating in the listing matters more than the brand. A system bought in November should be installed before the cold season starts in Toronto, Montreal or Ottawa.

How it is installed and sold here

Prices are in Canadian dollars, bought from retailers and installers, and the snippets do not say whether tax is included. Wired systems need existing doorbell wiring or a new cable run, and Wi-Fi models need a home network that reaches the door. Local installers sell installation as a separate service, so ask for both the device and the installation price before you agree.

What to write in your request

Say the property type (house, condo or building), the intercom type you want (video doorbell, wired kit or IP door station), and what must be included, such as a chime or an indoor monitor. Add compatibility with your existing doorbell or smart lock, the make and model if you know it, whether installation is needed, your city and your budget. Your street address stays with you until you choose a seller.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the system in your own words in a chat and add a photo if you have one. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to contact. You can also send your request link to a local installer yourself.
