<p dir="ltr">Carlos,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have been using 2N for several years now. It is not cheap at all, but once you get it installed it works just great. It is a full IP phone, not just a speaker or an intercom. Mine also has video which you can watch on a video phone, such as GrandStream.<br>
I am not sure if it has WiFi, but I am using it with POE so it has a wire anyways.<br>
Some other great advantage is that it has an RFID sensor so the door can be opened with multiple unique cards or keyfobs.<br>
I think that you can also get it today with Bluetooth or NFC, which will make it even more convenient.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I would recommend it whole heatedly, and I am not affiliated with 2N.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Good luck!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1f497d">Requirements:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1f497d">Analog phone line, can be used by any phone in the house, two way audio, use existing doorbell wire.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1f497d">What this device does is insert itself between the demarc and the phones in the house. If you are on the phone it acts like a call waiting service to let you know someone is at the door. The reverse is also true, If you are talking to someone at the door and a phone call comes in, you will be notified that the phone is ringing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1f497d">I believe you can set the ring so that you can tell if it’s a phone call or the door (double ring for door). There is also the ability to activate a relay for a door opener if necessary.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1f497d"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1f497d">When I installed this some 10 years ago, it cost about $85.00 wholesale. It’s still running and they still love it. You can still get parts so if something fails, just order the new part and you are good to go. I’m seeing current retail for this item in the $150 range or less.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I need to deploy a few outdoor-rated speakerphones for a customer, to serve in place of the old intercom systems. The ONLY thing they need to do is dial a single pre-set number on our system when a button is pressed. So really, just looking for an outdoor speaker phone with a "dial from memory" button.</p>
