Wireless Intercom System

September 7th, 2009

If you wanted an intercom system for your home or business as a security and monitoring device you were out of luck or were in for a bit of sticker shock when you got your installation estimate.  Until the advent of wireless technology a decade ago, if you wanted an intercom you were talking about a great deal of wiring that needed to be run.  If you wanted it only for a front door screen and to monitor a single room for the baby it was a little more feasible.  Since the late 1990s more companies have been making intercom systems that feature wireless communication capabilities so that you can have stations in every room of your house.

Even the master control station can be wireless.  If you do not want to make a big enough hole for the master station, you can buy a corded wireless control station for your wireless intercom system.  Of course, all of the satellite stations will be wireless as well.  All of the various wireless products have to have a power source and it is batteries.  Some wireless intercom systems use standard alkaline AA batteries while others use CR123 and other types of batteries normally found in the photo department at rather high prices.  Most all makers of wireless intercom systems have had their models meet Energy Star ratings so that the actual battery use is minimal unless under heavy use.

Here are the various components you will need for the installation of your very own wireless intercom system for your home.  You will need rough in boxes for the various stations – one rough in box per station, speakers in the rooms you want the music from the master control to play in, a master station and covers for your speakers.  You can also purchase outdoor rated stations for your patio and back yard areas.

Your master stations come in a couple of varieties, with and without music capabilities.  There are three models with music available from NuTone.  The first model has a radio only.  The next model up includes a CD player and the voice intercom.  The final model is in the NM series and has the capability of adding a multi disc CD changer to expand your music offerings.  Your decision on the number of stations you will need for your home or business wireless intercom system will hinge on where you want to listen to music and how many rooms you want to monitor or answer the door from.
