Wireless Intercoms 

A selection of Wireless Audio & Video Intercoms for the Home & Business.

We have a selection of Wireless Audio & Video Intercom Systems designed to help you safely & easily communicate with a visitor, and in many applications be able to open a locked gate or door.

There are a few factors that we would recommend you take into consideration, before purchasing one of these systems, please see the list below:

1. What is the distance between the proposed locations of both the caller station and receiver?
2. Have you got access to a power supply at the location of the caller station? (some caller stations can be used with battery, some work from 12v DC (which is normally taken from plug in transformer or gate & door control panel).
3. Do you need to be able to open a locked gate or door?.
4. Do you want or need to view who is at the door before starting to communicate? (video does greatly reduce wireless working range)
5. Would you like the system to record a photo image of callers that you have missed whilst you were out?
6. Do you need more than one caller station? (you may want a caller station at the front and rear of your property).
7. Do you need multiple receivers? (you may want receivers located in different rooms of the building).
8. Do the internal receivers need to be able to communicate with each other?
9. How many & what type of obstructions are located between the caller station & receiver?
10. Do you want just Internal Communication between different rooms?
11. What are the obstructions made of, all obstructions will reduce the effective working wireless range of any wireless intercom system, but the type of obstruction will determine the level of reduction, listed below is a very rough guide:

• Glass & Plaster Board = 10% Reduction.
• Trees & Bushes 10% Each One (if in direct line with no visual gap).
• Wood = 15 - 25% Reduction (depending on type and depth of wood).
• Brick = 20 - 25% Reduction.
• Stone = 40% Reduction.
• Steel 30 - 60% Reduction (depending on type & size of steel).

By answering the above questions, it will help you determine which system may best suit your needs, if you need help in choosing a system then see the handy chart below, or contact us with the same answers you have made, it will help us give you the most accurate recommendations, a few tips listed below:

• The Wireless Range advertised by all manufacturers is open line of sight, so it is important to take into account the obstructions.
• Wireless audio signals will operate further and easier than video.
• Quite often, the biggest obstruction is located next to the caller station (perhaps a brick or stone gate pillar), with some systems you can attach an aerial to the caller station and fix the aerial to the inside of the pillar, this removes the first and biggest obstacle to the wireless signal.

Wireless Intercoms & Walkie Talkie:

We have been asked in the past if a particular Wireless Intercom will work in a customers application as they have Walkie Talkie's on site which operate fine, this is actually not a good comparison (due to the reasons below), we would still recommend customers asking us if in doubt where we can give our most honest advice.  

A typical Walkie Talkie (non licence model) operate on 446MHz, and by law they can transmit using 500mW of power, a static Intercom is only allowed by European law to transmit with 20mW of power.

The Walkie Talkie is also normally using an analogue technology which is not secure, if this technology was used on a Gate or Door Intercom, it would be possible for someone to gain access to the system and release relevant locks or listen into conversations, therefore our Intercoms are designed to use Safe & Secure Digital technology.
