I am looking for a door intercom system has the ability to forward to a cell phone. Two products that look promising are the "Viking C-250 Single Entry Phone Controller" and the "logenex TeleDoorBell Controller". The cost of the Viking controller + an intercom is around $450 and the Logenex system is $600-$650. I am leaning towards the Viking system.
Before I pull the trigger, I would like to know if anyone knows of a less expensive system.
Here is the list of features of my ideal system.
- When a visitor presses the intercom button the house phone rings. Preferably the phone will sound with a distinct ring, so I know it is the intercom vs. a regular phone call.
- Door Strike Control: While conversing on the intercom, I should be able to press a button on the phone to evoke the door strike relay
- Doorbell: Relay that fires when the call button is pressed on the outside intercom.
- Phone Forwarding: Forward the intercom to a cell phone if I don't answer the intercom within x rings
- Phone Forwarding: Automatically forward the intercom to cell phone if the security system is armed
- I am not interested in using a PC based system
The Viking has a one relay that can be configured for doorbell operation or door strike operation (not both).
