A resident needs to hear about a maintenance shutoff, get through the front door, and trust that someone is actually watching the property. All three, every day.
Hiscall designs, installs and supports phone systems, unified messaging, door intercom, CCTV, access control and digital signage for Tennessee apartment communities and multi-family properties. One certified team installs it, and the same team answers when you call.

Every technician who enters your property is a badged Hiscall employee. We do not subcontract installation or support.
A multi-family community depends on communication moving through every channel a resident actually uses, email, signage, a property management app, and on two-way conversations that build trust rather than a one-way bulletin board. That same trust depends on residents believing the property is genuinely secure: someone can get through the front door, and someone is watching the common areas. Hiscall designs the whole path, from the leasing office to the front door, and supports all of it with the same certified technicians who installed it.
How it fits together
From the leasing office to the front door
A community runs on residents trusting two things at once: that they'll hear what they need to hear, and that the property is actually secure. Built as one system, both hold up. Built from four separate vendors, both are the first things residents complain about.
The notice
Unified messaging and digital signage keep residents informed about events, maintenance and updates across the channels they actually check.
The door
Door intercom systems and access control let residents in and keep the wrong people out, without a staff member stationed at every entrance.
The conversation
Sound masking and acoustic solutions keep a private conversation in the leasing office actually private, while call recording keeps an accurate record of it.
The property
CCTV, situational awareness/alerting and staff ID badges secure common areas and buildings, all riding on the data network and cabling underneath.
Why one team
What actually changes when one team owns the whole system
A property that buys phones, cameras and messaging from three vendors owns the gaps between them too, usually the ones residents notice first. Here is what that costs in practice.
| Where it counts | Hiscall | Separate vendors per system |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | One team, one schedule | Coordinated by you, across contractors |
| Support calls | A Hiscall employee who knows your property | Whichever vendor you guess is responsible |
| System integration | Designed together from the start | Bolted together after the fact, if at all |
| Resident trust & security | One point of accountability | Finger-pointing between vendors |
| Everything else | Cabling, cameras, AV, IT, all included | Another vendor, another contract |
Built for community life, not adapted to it
Four capabilities that general low voltage contractors typically do not carry.
- Unified messaging. Reaches residents about events, updates and maintenance across the channels they actually use.
- Door intercom & access control. Lets residents in and keeps unauthorized visitors out, without staffing every entrance.
- Sound masking. Keeps a sensitive leasing-office conversation private in a space that was never designed for acoustic isolation.
- Situational awareness & alerting. Gives staff a fast way to know what's happening across the property, not just at the front desk.
What we install
Every system across the property, from one team
Most communities buy each system from a different vendor, then spend years getting them to talk to each other. We put them on one design and one support relationship.
Phone systems
Cloud and premise-based phone systems with unified messaging, speech-to-text and call recording/accounting.
TelecommunicationsCabling and infrastructure
Copper and fiber optic low voltage infrastructure installed by BICSI-certified technicians, sized to a single property or a multi-site portfolio.
Network cablingDoor intercom, CCTV & access control
Door intercom systems, CCTV security cameras, access control and staff ID badges securing every entrance and common area, under Tennessee CCTV license #1405.
Security solutionsData networking
Data networking equipment that keeps phones, messaging and signage running reliably across the whole property.
IT services & data networkingAudio/visual for community rooms
Audio/visual systems and digital signage/video walls for community rooms, leasing offices and shared amenity spaces.
Audio visualOverhead paging & sound masking
IP overhead paging and sound masking/acoustic solutions keeping communication clear and conversations private.
Audio visualProperties we work with every week
From a single apartment community to a multi-site portfolio, with the same certified technicians on every job.
- Independent apartment communities. Phones, messaging and CCTV scoped to a single property, not sold as an enterprise package.
- Multi-site property portfolios. Consistent systems and support across every community, with one point of contact instead of a different vendor per site.
- Communities with shared amenity spaces. Audio/visual and digital signage sized to community rooms, fitness centers and clubhouses.
- Properties adding resident communication for the first time. Unified messaging built to reach residents across every channel they check.
How we work
Five steps, and you know who to call at each one
Survey
We come to you at no charge, look at what is already in place, and tell you honestly what should be replaced and what has life left in it.
Design
You get a documented scope and clear pricing. For a multi-site portfolio, we design one standard that repeats cleanly across every property.
Install
Our own badged technicians do the work, scheduled around residents, not around us.
Train
On-site sessions for leasing, maintenance and management staff, repeated as often as your team needs it.
Support
You call us directly, not a queue, with 24/7/365 emergency response and unlimited moves, adds and changes.
Local technicians, statewide coverage
Two Tennessee offices mean a certified Hiscall employee on site rather than a subcontractor you have never met. Cloud-managed systems let us monitor, configure and resolve a great deal remotely, so a multi-site portfolio costs you far less time than it used to.
- Dickson. Corporate headquarters and 25,000 square foot distribution facility, serving Middle Tennessee and the Nashville region. Reach the Dickson office directly at (615) 740-7771.
- Knoxville. Branch office at 4620 Old Broadway, serving East Tennessee since 2001, with the same certified technicians and the same emergency response. Reach the Knoxville office directly at (865) 862-4650.
- You reach a person. You work directly with a trained, certified, Hiscall-badged employee. Your needs are not outsourced to a call center overseas.
