The system is probably wired in 6-core phone wire back to spaghetti

There's a brick-sized junction box absolutely stuffed full of wires on the
first floor landing, which is probably the 'spaghetti junction' to which

put it back on pretty quickly!

You big softy. I had to second fix this buildings video door entry system
