| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Decent video intercom, a few strange design items... This is a decent video intercom (for the price) if you are only looking for a way to tell who is at the door. There are a couple elements of the design that you should be made aware of. First, you can only use the intercom feature (i.e. talk to people using the speaker) if the person at the door presses the 'doorbell' button on the camera mount. If they knock on the door or use a different doorbell, you must press the "talk/view" button to activate the camera, but pressing it again will turn the camera off, not activate the microphone. This single design element makes this system substantially less worthwhile. There is even a button with a speaker icon next to it that would have been perfect to activate the microphone independently from the camera, but that is used for a 'warning signal' that emits a ridiculous chirp to scare away unwanted guests (I'd rather be able to talk through the microphone). Secondly, although the product description ends by saying this system can't be used with additional monitors, it does support up to three monitors, they just need to be ordered separately (and at the moment Amazon does not sell them). As one of the other reviews mentioned, it would have been nice if the monitor supported hard-wired power supply, because AC power adapters are ungainly. For the price, it is a decent (read: average) system, but the inability to use the microphone if the button on the outside has not been pushed makes it suboptimal. If you just need a camera to see who is at the door (as is my case), it is a decent solution, but any security camera/monitor setup will work just as well. + See Full Customer Review |  |
