In my search for the correct door intercom system to suit our requirements for our new home, I discovered many types available. Of them all, Door Guard seemed to offer the most value.
The system is permanently wired, no batteries required and suitable for new or existing homes. The unit is flush mounted, with electronic door chimes, illuminated push button and auto level control, consisting of one door station and one room station, plus it can be expanded. The room stations are available in six decorator colours and the door station in two colours.
The basic system does not include installation or wiring, however, it may be safely installed and wired by the handy person, using colour coded cable at approximately $1 per metre. This is a door answering system only, however, if you wish to communicate between rooms, there is a variety of options in the Multicom range.
