BPT Intercoms NZ: Complete Range Guide for Security Professionals

Essential Security Supplies

BPT intercoms are trusted by security professionals and installers across New Zealand for their Italian engineering, robust build quality, and scalable architecture. Whether you are specifying a simple audio entry system for a residential apartment or a networked video intercom solution for a commercial complex, the BPT range offers a sub-category for every application. This guide walks through the full BPT Intercom collection available at Essential Security Supplies NZ, covering every series, its key features, and the ideal use case for each.

BPT-PLX-V BPT 5-inch Video Audio Intercom Handset - modern minimalist matte white design for residential and commercial entry

What Is the BPT Intercom System?

BPT (now part of the CAME Group) is an Italian manufacturer specialising in video door entry and access control systems. The BPT range is built on a two-wire BUS architecture, meaning a single cable pair carries both power and data between the door station and indoor monitors. This dramatically simplifies installation, reduces cabling costs, and makes the system highly scalable — from a single apartment to a multi-tenant building with dozens of handsets.

BPT intercoms are designed to integrate with electric strikes, magnetic locks, automatic gate operators, and third-party access control systems, making them a natural fit for professional security installations across New Zealand. For the latest technical standards applicable to intercom and access control systems in NZ, refer to the New Zealand Security Association (NZSA) technical guidelines.

BPT Intercom Sub-Categories at Essential Security Supplies NZ

The BPT range is organised into distinct sub-categories, each targeting a specific application, aesthetic, or technology tier. Below is a breakdown of every series available.

AGT Series — Audio & Video Handsets

AGT A BPT Audio Intercom Handset - soft-touch button wall-mounted handset for residential BUS intercom systems NZ

The AGT Series is BPT's entry-level to mid-range handset line, available in both audio-only and video configurations. Both models feature a clean white finish, soft-touch buttons, and automatic door-opener functionality — making them a reliable workhorse for residential and light commercial installations.

The AGT A (audio) is a compact, wall-mounted handset with a programmable auxiliary button, latch function for gate control, and ringtone adjustment with LED exclusion indicator. It operates on 15–20 V DC via BUS and carries an IP54 rating, making it suitable for installations where the handset may be exposed to light dust or moisture ingress.

The AGT V (video) adds a 5" colour LCD display with OSD image adjustment, PAL/NTSC video standard support, and AUX2 for porter call functions. It supports up to 8 intercom calls and melody programming per call type.

PERLA Series — Audio & Video Handsets

PERLA Audio BI BPT Audio Intercom Handset - slim wall-mounted audio handset with ringtone control for apartment entry NZ

The PERLA Series offers a slimmer, more refined aesthetic compared to the AGT line, with a profile of just 31 mm depth. Available in audio (PERLA Audio BI) and video (PERLA Video BI) variants, the PERLA range is well suited to modern residential apartments and boutique commercial premises where aesthetics matter as much as function.

The PERLA Audio BI (model PEC BI) measures 110 × 170 × 31 mm and supports 2 intercom calls, auxiliary/porter call keys, and programmable ringtone melodies. It operates at IP30 and draws only 80 mA from the BUS in active use.

The PERLA Video BI (model PEV BI) adds a 3.5" TFT LCD display, self-inserting video from entry panels, up to 8 intercom calls, a "Panic" button for emergency porter calls, Master/Slave function, and video bouncing among receivers during simultaneous calls. It supports PAL/NTSC video and draws 200 mA from the BUS.

PLX Series — Premium Handsfree Audio & Video Handsets

BPT-PLX-A BPT Audio Intercom Handset - ultra-slim 21mm matte white handsfree audio handset for premium residential entry NZ

The PLX Series represents BPT's premium handset tier, combining a modern minimalist design with a matte white finish and an ultra-slim profile. There are no visible holes on the front panel — the speaker and microphone are fully concealed — giving the PLX a distinctly architectural appearance that suits high-end residential and commercial fitouts.

The BPT-PLX-A (audio) is just 21 mm thick and supports handsfree audio, concealed LED signals, AUX2 for auxiliary and porter call functions, and automatic door-opener. It is compatible with 503 box (horizontal or vertical) and Ø 60 mm round box installations.

The BPT-PLX-V (video) adds a 5" colour display with 480 × 272 pixel resolution and OSD for colour, brightness, and contrast adjustment. At 24 mm thick, it retains the PLX's slim profile while delivering full video entry functionality including self-inserting video, Master/Slave function, and video relaying between extensions during simultaneous calls.

The BPT-PLX-V-WIFI extends the PLX-V with on-board WiFi connectivity, enabling remote call management and integration with mobile devices — ideal for installations where the resident requires remote access capability without a full IP monitor.

The XTS Series is BPT's flagship indoor monitor, designed for installations that demand the highest level of functionality and connectivity. The XTS 7" White WIFI Monitor features a 7" TFT full-touchscreen display with Optical Bonding anti-glare technology, making it highly readable in brightly lit environments such as lobbies, reception areas, and open-plan offices.

Key capabilities include RJ45 Ethernet and on-board WiFi (IEEE 802.11b/g/n), local or PoE (IEEE 802.3af) power supply, SIP protocol support with H.264 video and G.711 audio codecs, live IP camera feeds, video answering service (stores up to 100 × 10-second messages), and support for up to 19 mobile devices for remote call management. The customisable UI Creator software allows installers to tailor the interface to the end user's workflow.

FUTURA Series — Video Intercom Monitor

FUTURA SERIES BPT Video Intercom Monitor - 7-inch graphical interface monitor with Master-Slave and picture capture for residential NZ

The FUTURA Series sits between the standard handset range and the XTS IP monitor, offering a 7" display with a graphical interface and soft-touch navigation keys. Available in black and white, and across three models (X1 through to IP), the FUTURA is suited to residential and small commercial installations that require a larger display and richer feature set than a standard handset, without the full IP connectivity of the XTS.

Features include self-inserting video with cyclic selection, Master/Slave and video bouncing among receivers during simultaneous calls, picture capture for storing visitor images, a phonebook and AUX list user interface, and a "Panic" button. The IP model adds live IP camera feeds, audio/video message recording, and text messaging to and from the porter.

Choosing the Right BPT Intercom for Your Application

Selecting the correct BPT sub-category comes down to three factors: the number of apartments or entry points, the required display type, and the level of remote connectivity needed. For straightforward single-family residential installations, the PERLA or AGT handsets paired with a LITHOS kit provide a clean, cost-effective solution. For premium residential fitouts where aesthetics are paramount, the PLX Series delivers an architectural finish with no visible speaker or microphone apertures. For multi-tenant buildings or commercial premises requiring IP camera integration, remote mobile access, and advanced call management, the XTS 7" WIFI Monitor is the recommended indoor unit. Where a modular, vandal-resistant door station is required for a high-traffic entry point, the MTM Series provides the configurability and durability to match.

All BPT systems are supported by Essential Security Supplies NZ with full technical documentation, spec sheets, and installation guides available on each product page.
