Front Door Bell/Camera/Intercom

[falbhan]

Hi all,

Long time snooper, now I'm building a system and need a little assistance. I'm building up a home automation/security system based on Homeseer and an Elk M1G, but also incorporating a standalone Vitek DVR system employing a half dozen cameras.

I think I've gotten everything sorted out except a solution to use at the front door. What I'd like is some sort of a unit that would be a multipurpose doorbell/intercom/camera. I can envision that pressing a button would trigger a bell, activate a light, enable/switch to intercom mode and start up a window with video, but would like to hear people's thoughts about this. Is there unit that incorporates a buzzer button, camera and intercom out there for purchase?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Al

Panasonic makes a nice but expensive unit that connects to their KSU's

Elan has a unit that will do all of the things you mention. We just installed one and it works great. (doorbell, intercom, camera)
