Handsfree Video Entry System With Intercom

[Driller]

Comlit and BPT are separate companies

Yeah I just realised but couldn't edit!

I couldn't understand why I never saw Comelit on the BPT website before...

Commax and Comelit stuff looks good but it's looking like I can't get 5 monitors to a system.

At the moment the BPT KB series does the job but it's not hands free and has those horrible (IMO) slinky cable handsets.

Handsfree is all well and good but if it's in a working office and every Tom and Dick can hear the conversation with the DHL man at the door, people are soon going to get a bit pee'd off.

That makes a lot of sense but this is residential hence need for aesthetic. Handsfree is practical for intercom too

i gather you dont do nhs then...

Cams display on tv, use VIDEX 280 phoneline interface and dect phones for comms, perhaps an option?

Just checked with my m8 ( Door Entry Direct formerly SRS ) they say Comelit do a one button 5 monitor video hands free system.

I should get the quote in the morning as only just called them.

Money no object...until I see the quote

What did you have in mind?

intergrate your intercom into your pbx

or ip based intercom & touch screen tft's back to windows pc

[digitalwitness]

Would agree with looking into an IP option, why have them double as phones and extensions too?

lol at HPotter

Thanks for the suggestions, just digesting them all. I had looked at IP stuff before including a handset which was very much like that of MrH above, was called GL or GX or something, can't remember the comapany.

Can't remember why I dropped IP in the end. One of the reasons, I think, is that in at least 3 places the monitor has to go on the wall and although a handset will do that, it's not as integrated as a flat monitor. Also not keen on having to depend upon a pc going all the time, performance and reliability wise. There is a PBX in place already although it's not IP so maybe that was the reason.

I'm having another look at it anyway in-between rewiring my node zero-again (Oxo would approve-or maybe not, have to see )

Arfur's idea is interesting especially since the other cams are already on the screens. Whether or not it is practical to turn a tv on and select the cams each time someone rings though...I'd use standard handsets as well, any DECT ones would get lost rapidly knowing my wife.

Waiting with interest to hear about those Comelit monitors.
