I'm looking into front doorbell options. My requirements are:
- Simple analog phone integration (pick up phone to talk to front door station)
- Chime output (I want it to sound like a normal doorbell, not a "motorboat")
- Nice flush-mount door stations, no plastic surface mount boxes, and no ugly commercial-looking ones.
Doesn't sound like an unreasonable set of requirements to me, but I haven't found anything that satifies them yet!
Notes:
- Doorbell Fon definitely does not satisfy #2
- The Channel Vision TE-110 doesn't have chime outputs (though the discontinued TE-200 did)
- I can't find details about the available Touch-N-Talk systems
- The Viking C-1000b (successor to C-1000a) looks like it would work, but the currently available door stations are UGLY. That being said, their site shows nice ones "in beta"
Have I missed any?
- Mark.
