A new age of intercom and whole home paging is here. The basic on-wall stations with intercoms are still very popular and are great for those who just need basic paging with distributed audio and desire any more features. We still do install standard intercom systems, so let us know what you need and we will find the perfect fit.

Now let's talk about real whole home intercom/communication systems.

Imagine having whole home audio, video, intercom, doorbell and telephone all tied into one single system. No more on-wall intercom stations, instead you use any telephone in the house to page, answer the doorbell and even to mute home audio.
This is how it is done:

We install your whole home audio system (or if you already have one) with speakers in all main areas of listening, i.e.; Master Bedroom & Bathroom, Living Room, Dining Room, Family Room, Guest Rooms, Game Room, Exercise Room, Theater, and so on. Now that the audio system is in place, we install a controller that takes input from the incoming phone lines (excluding security and fax). This can now be used for paging. Picking up any phone in the house and pressing *P on the keypad will page to any rooms with speakers. Even if audio is being played at the time, it will mute the speakers and announce the page. Neat huh?

It gets better. With the system in place, if the phone rings while your audio system is on, it will mute. If you have a door station system and someone arrives, it will mute and play a programmed chime through the speakers at a selected volume level. Then just pick up any phone, press *D, and you are talking to the person at the door! (If we install the door station with the camera, you can even see your visitor on any TV at the same time!)

Even more coming! Let's say you are in the bathtub, on the phone and someone comes to the front door. When they press the doorbell, it will give you a special beep on the phone, press *D, it will place your call on hold while giving them on-hold music, and transfer you to the person waiting at the door. We're sure when you return to your phone call the person will be amazed you have on hold music! Do you ever leave the phone off the hook on accident? If this happens you will be notified by a quaint "beep" through the speakers every 3 minutes. (This feature can be turned off) So now you don't just have a basic intercom, you have a convenience system that combines features you have always wanted.
