JasonOfOz Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Not sure why but like London buses, these all come along at once!! One of our Clients needs the ability to know when a visitor has arrived at their front door. Problem is that they are away from their desk quite a bit. I think we only have 3 options to choose from: 1. Wireless: We tested AES out already and there's too much interference so signal is not great, otherwise having a wireless (dect-type) handset is ideal 2. App based: Some intercom systems enable you to answer/operate the intercom via an app - Comelit do one and it seems quite viable 3. Traditional wired based system - we are installing a Gira system at the moment at another building where you can have remote "gongs" installed installed in various locations (just like mini-sounders or door chimes) - this is quite good but wiring is a pain in this building so i'm trying to avoid it - I was wondering whether there is such a thing as wireless, relay activated door chimes - this would solve my problem, but i don't want us having to custom build anything. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I purchased one of these but it didnt work that well for me so I sent it back, I then purchased the Chinese version that worked much better for a while, then stopped. I put a wifi amp close to the doorbell and its been fine ever since, I think the Ring would have worked better with the amp too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOfOz Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Vidiline mvdp7 and its smartphone app I saw this in another post and actually this looks perfect - but do you know if the door release relay is on the secure side of the door?

This looks quite nice but I still need for it to release a door - not sure if it does that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrolhead Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Relay is on the intercom itself so could be tampered with, but then again if its secure enough on a honeywell max reader why not? You could always fit a seperate lock release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serg Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Videx 8380 kit is nice solution. We use it to forward call to mobile if nobody in, no app required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
