Been looking (on web) at a door bell solution that I can tie to my telephones in lieu of a traditional ding-dong door bell. I have seen a door phone listed made by Viking that supposedly allows you to mount a small box at the door which can be tied to your phone system such that pressing the "door bell" button at the front door causes your phone to ring so you can pick up the phone and talk to the person ringing the door phone. Uses 2 pair of wire (one pair for 12V and one pair for connection to phone system).
In my case, I have 2 lines phone instruments in my house but am only using them for line 1. That leaves line 2 unused that I should be able to feed from the Viking door phone so my phones ring on line 2 when the door bell is pressed......at least that is what I think I am reading about the Viking units. The model I am looking at is the W-2000A.
Any good or bad experiences with these units?
