1)
Estimated video intercom installation cost:
Intercom only (Intercom without remote lock release) =
£260
This estimate is based on following assumptions:
- Door Panel
will be fitted by front door to the building
- Cables will be clipped to skirting boards / walls.
- Handset is within 20 meters from the door
- System is powered from plug-in power supply, plugged into power socket.
2)
Electric lock release connection:
It is possible to link this system to electric lock
release but extra cost
(depending on type fo door and existing lock) =
+£160 up to +£250
3)
Warranty
-
1
year

NOTES:
This is budget item I picked up from
Amazon and did some testing on it.
Below there are my observations.
Positives:
- Price. It is quarter of makes like VIDEX, FERMAX, BPT etc.
- It is wired system so no need for internet nor monthly subscription.
- Item has fairly solid feel .
- Monitor is made of ABS plastic.
- Door panel is full metal.
- Picture is surprisingly crisp and clear.
- Voice quality is fairly decent.
Negatives:
- One way speech: You and visitor can not talk simultaneously.
- Camera angle: 90 degrees from left to
right (so not very wide)
- Night vision works OK but switches to black and white mode,
//By comparison RING doorbells have 160 degrees angle of view//
- It works well as doorbell only but not really good as full door entry
system.
