The best multi-apartment intercom systems, compared.
Top pick: ANJIELO SMART 7 inch, 3 monitors Best value: uoweky 4.3 inch, 3 monitors – Lowest shelf price among three-monitor kits with more than 50 reviews that still score above 50. Three buttons and three monitors are stated. The UK buzz and extra transformers are deducted. Updated 22 October 2026.
A multi-apartment intercom system is a visitor door phone for more than one dwelling. One outdoor panel carries a call for each flat, a monitor sits in each dwelling, and a command can release the communal door. UK buyers use a wired kit for a two-dwelling house or a small block, or an installer when the building already has a bus. You judge a kit by the button map, whether the conduit can hold the cable, whether the unlock output matches a 12 V or 24 V release, and whether the outdoor station is actually for rain. Room-to-room intercoms and a single smart doorbell are a different product. Count the monitors in the box and do not assume the lock is included. A title that lists a range of flat counts is not the contents of that carton. Those checks are in the [multi-apartment intercom buying guide](/hub/electronic-surveillance/multi-apartment-intercom-system/sub/multi-apartment-intercom-system-buying-guide). A four-core kit and a two-wire bus are different architectures.

Question 1 of 2
How many dwellings call the door?
The ANJIELO SMART 94229-3 is listed at £319.99 as a wired kit whose title states a 3-family doorbell, a 7 inch touchscreen, 1080p and three indoor monitors. Bullets name an iOS and Android app that can call, record and unlock, a 32GB Micro SD card, and IP65. The same bullet also says the system supports two occupants in one building, which does not match the three-family title. Included components are an indoor screen, installation kits, a memory card and a user access card, an outdoor doorbell and manuals, and the number-of-items field is 4. The lock line names 12 V electric, electromagnetic, and cathode and anode locks, and the lock itself is not in that parts line. amazon.co.uk shows 5.0 from 1 review and no review text, so the star is not a sample of UK installs. Power and a night-vision distance are not stated. A 5.0 from 1 review is not scored as proof of a three-flat install.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You specifically want the stated 7 inch touch screen, 1080p and a named phone app, and you will confirm the monitor count with the seller before you pay £319.99.
Less suitable: You need a review sample of real installs, or a parts line that agrees with the three-family title.
Specifications
Common questions
How many monitors are in this kit?
The title says a 3-family doorbell with one outdoor camera and three indoor monitors. The number-of-items field is 4. The same bullet also says it supports two occupants in one building.
Does the listing name an app and a lock voltage?
Bullets say an iOS and Android app can call, record and unlock, and that the doorbell connects to various 12 V electronic locks. The lock is not in the included-components line.
Is the 5.0 rating a test?
The captured page shows 5.0 from 1 review and no review text, so it is not a sample of UK installs.
The LIBO Smart Home V70Fx2+520C-2 is a wired 7 inch kit at £149.99 with two monitors, two call buttons and an IR camera. The title prints 800×480, a bullet names RVV4×1.0 cable for a stated 100 m audio and video run, and the weather line is IP54. amazon.co.uk shows 3.9 from 367 reviews, the largest sample in this set. A UK review describes working video, sound and a gate unlock on a two-house villa. Other reviews mention rain stopping a unit, both buttons ringing both monitors, a missing rain hood, and short or missing cable. The specification line also prints a night-vision range of 100 m, the same number as the cable bullet, so that figure is not a measured night range. Unlock is supported, no strike is listed, and one reviewer asks whether a separate supply is needed because the door does not always open. It is the top pick in this set. It is a two-dwelling kit.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a two-dwelling 7 inch kit with a large review count and a cable the listing actually names.
Less suitable: You need a rain hood in the box, a strike included, or an app the listing does not contradict with a no-internet line.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this kit include the electric lock?
Bullets say the kit supports unlock. No strike is named in the included parts. One reviewer asks whether a separate power supply is needed because the door does not always open.
What cable does the listing name?
A bullet says the maximum audio and video distance is 100 metres if you use RVV4×1.0 cable. The specification block also prints a night-vision range of 100 metres.
What comes up in the reviews?
A UK review describes working video, sound and a gate unlock on a two-house villa. Other reviews mention rain stopping a unit, both buttons ringing both monitors, a missing rain hood, and short or missing cable.
The uoweky model 168 is a corded 4.3 inch kit at £200.99 whose title states three indoor monitors and three call buttons, each talking to one monitor. Bullets print IP54, a 700TVL camera and RFID for 500 cards, and night vision is listed as 2 m. amazon.co.uk shows 3.5 from 77 reviews. A UK review describes a continuous buzz that an electrician could not stop, and says a neighbour has the same fault. Other reviews mention plugs that do not fit, missing transformers, one adapter per handset, and a cable that would not pass the existing conduit. Units that fail after months also appear in the written notes. A Wi-Fi line sits beside the wired title, and smartphone is listed with no app name. The monitor has a button for an electric lock, and the lock is not in the box. It is best value in this set: the lowest shelf price among three-monitor kits with more than 50 reviews that still score above 50.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have three flats, you want the title's three buttons and three monitors at £200.99, and you can pull new cable.
Less suitable: You need a quiet handset, a BS 1363 plug you can see in the listing, or a kit that will reuse the old conduit.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a three-flat kit?
The title says three indoor monitors, and a bullet says three call buttons, each talking to one monitor, for three apartments.
Will it use the old two-core cable?
Reviews describe several cores and one adapter per handset, and one reviewer could not get the cable through the existing conduit. The page does not call it a two-wire bus.
What is the repeated complaint?
A UK review says the unit buzzes continuously and a neighbour has the same fault. Other reviews mention plugs that do not fit, missing transformers, and units that fail after months.
The Kadongli V70Nx2+520C-2 is listed at £147.99 as a corded 7 inch video kit whose title states two monitors and two call buttons. The title also states 700TVL, while the specification line says 480p, and the specification block says Wi-Fi even though the title says wired and no internet. amazon.co.uk shows 3.5 from 13 reviews. A UK review says the outdoor unit is not suitable for external use, and the page claims waterproof with no IP code. Another review describes a dead screen, then a replacement with no bell whose unlock rings both monitors. The number-of-items field is 1, so the two-monitor claim sits in the title rather than in a parts count you can treat as settled. One-key unlock is stated, and no strike is named in the box. £2.00 under the top pick is not enough for the value badge.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have two dwellings, £147.99 is the reason to look, and you will open the carton to confirm that two monitors are actually inside.
Less suitable: You need a printed IP code, a listing that agrees with itself about Wi-Fi, or a larger set of UK reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
How many flats does the title cover?
The title says two monitors and two call buttons, and a bullet says each button controls one monitor. The number-of-items field is 1.
Is an electric lock in the box?
The indoor bullet says one-key unlock. The listing does not name a strike or maglock in the box.
What do the written reviews say?
Four reviews are in the file. The UK one says the outdoor unit is not suitable for external use. Another describes a dead screen, then a replacement with no bell and an unlock that rings both monitors.
The ANJIELO SMART 60120S+61681 is listed at £499.99 with a variation title that prints 2/3/4/6/8/10/12 family units and ends with for 6 family. Included components are a doorbell, a monitor and a power adapter, and the number of items is 1, so the six-family wording is a range rather than six monitors in the box. A bullet says the system supports up to 12 security devices and tells you to contact customer service above six. The captured amazon.co.uk page has no customer-review line, so the rating is not available. The specification block prints IP55 and 720p, a bullet says 700TVL CMOS, and another bullet says IP technology beside a wired and Ethernet line. No app is named. Electronic door unlocking is stated, and the lock is not included. An empty rating line is not scored as a hidden five stars.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are only checking what a six-family title on amazon.co.uk actually puts in the included-components line.
Less suitable: You need six monitors in the box, a review sample, or a kit you can fit without asking the seller what arrives above six devices.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this box contain six monitors?
The title lists 2/3/4/6/8/10/12 family units and ends with for 6 family. Included components are a doorbell, a monitor and a power adapter. Number of items is 1.
What happens above six devices?
A bullet says the system supports up to 12 security devices and tells you to contact customer service above six.
Is there a star rating?
The captured amazon.co.uk page has no customer-review line, so there is no star rating and no review count for this ASIN.
Shelf date 20 October 2026. Scores use the five amazon.co.uk listings kept for this comparison and the review notes already in the display file. This is not a lab test. A search-snippet price from the same day is context only and is not a score. The highest score is the top pick. Best value is the lowest shelf price among kits that state three indoor monitors, have more than 50 amazon.co.uk reviews, and still score above 50. The two-monitor top pick is a different flat count, so it does not also take the value badge. One of each. The weights below sum to 100.
Amazon evidence
30%Star rating and review count on amazon.co.uk. A missing rating line scores low. One review with no text cannot earn a full sample. A small sample is deducted.
Fit for the stated dwellings
35%A title that states the same number of monitors and call buttons scores higher. A range such as 2/3/4/6/8/10/12, a parts line that lists one monitor, a Wi-Fi line on a wired kit, or a bullet that also says two occupants, is deducted.
Review outcome
20%A captured note of video, sound and an unlock on a real door scores higher than a file that repeats rain, a dead screen, a continuous buzz, crossed buttons, or a missing transformer. No review text cannot earn this block.
Value
15%Shelf price in GBP against a kit whose station count you can actually read. A low price does not score when the outdoor unit is already described as unsuitable. A high price does not score when the included-components line disagrees with the title.
You are choosing a multi-apartment intercom system for more than one dwelling: a call per flat, a monitor in each dwelling, and a release for the communal door. These five amazon.co.uk listings are the rows on this page. Prices on 20 October 2026 run from £147.99 to £499.99. The score uses dwelling fit, the review notes, the star line and the shelf price. It is not a lab test. Count the monitors in the box before you treat a flat-count in the title as the contents.
A multi-apartment intercom system is a visitor door phone for more than one dwelling: one outdoor panel with a call per flat, a monitor in each dwelling, and a command that can release the communal door. UK buyers use a wired kit for a two-dwelling house or a small block, or an installer when the building already has a bus.
A wireless pair sold as a way to talk between rooms is not a visitor panel for several flats. This comparison is one outdoor panel, a call per dwelling, and a monitor in each dwelling.
Many marketplace video kits want four or more cores. Reviews on the three-monitor kit describe a cable that would not pass the existing conduit, and one adapter per handset. A 2-wire bus is a different architecture.
None of the five kits lists a strike in the included parts. Unlock on a monitor is not the lock. Fail-secure stays locked when power is removed and does not belong on the only way out. Reading 240 V is not a BS 1363 plug.
The first check is that the number of flats equals the call buttons and the indoor monitors in the box. A title that lists 2/3/4/6/8/10/12 is a range, not the contents of that ASIN. On this page the two-monitor titles are the LIBO kit at £149.99 and the Kadongli kit at £147.99. The Kadongli number-of-items field is 1, so the two-monitor claim sits in the title. The uoweky kit at £200.99 states three indoor monitors and three call buttons.
The door release is a separate decision: voltage, fail-safe versus fail-secure, and a way out if power fails. None of the five kits lists a strike in the box. The ANJIELO SMART 7 inch listing is the one that states 12 V locks. Fail-secure stays locked when power is removed and does not belong on the only way out. Secured by Design's guide for blocks of 25 or fewer flats expects video, remote release from the dwelling, and unrestricted egress if power fails.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You can pull new cable and you want a gate release from a 7 inch monitor. The LIBO kit states two monitors, two call buttons and RVV4×1.0 cable, at £149.99, with 3.9 from 367 reviews. Rain and crossed buttons are in the review notes.
You have three flats and you can pull new cable rather than reuse an old conduit. The uoweky kit states three monitors and three call buttons at £200.99, with 3.5 from 77 reviews. A UK review describes a continuous buzz, and one reviewer could not get the cable through the existing conduit.
You want the stated 7 inch touch screen, 1080p and a named phone app, and you will confirm the monitor count before you pay £319.99. The title says three monitors, and the same bullet also says two occupants. The star line is 5.0 from 1 review with no text.
The top pick is the LIBO 7 inch, two-monitor kit at £149.99. It has the highest score in this set, 64, with two monitors and RVV4×1.0 stated, after deductions for rain, crossed buttons and the 100 m night-vision line. Best value is the uoweky 4.3 inch, three-monitor kit at £200.99, the lowest shelf price among three-monitor kits with more than 50 reviews that still score above 50. The two-monitor top pick is a different flat count, so it does not also take the value badge. None of these scores means the lock is in the box, and none of them is a lab test.
uoweky 4.3 inch, 3 monitors
Lowest shelf price among three-monitor kits with more than 50 reviews that still score above 50. Three buttons and three monitors are stated. The UK buzz and extra transformers are deducted.
