Can I mount one intercom outside the front door for security purposes?

The only problem as I see it is getting secure electrical power to the unit that's mounted outdoors. Then how do you protect the unit from the elements? My answer to your question is probably "NO"! Perhaps this manufacturer makes an outdoor unit to fulfill your need. Good Luck!

I am not sure, but I would not recommend this. The unit, I believe is NOT meant for outdoor use. You need to find a unit specifically made for outdoor exposure.

Sorry, no clue. I use it on a land line and don't really expect a high level of security there.

One of the Insteon contact sensors (with transmitter mounted outside the mailbox) would probably be a better approach.

It should not interfere with a security system. I would look into your security system for a temp alarm, unless you are using this in an out building.

Do you HAVE to? No. If you want to mount a secondary siren in a hidden location, you can do so. Studies show people don't pay attention to car alarms though. It's the page to your remote that should serve as security.

Yes you can. It's identified as 'External Digital Audio In (Optical)' on page 11 of the user manual, and on the back of the unit. It's a square receptacle.

I have mine connected to a small video camera with infrared lighting mounted high on an exterior wall, and use it to see who is at my door. I have a toggle switch on the power wire and I only switch it on when someone is at the door or if I want see if I have a package that has been left on my porch. It works great for that purpose.

This outdoor version I have has alarm contacts. Depending on your audio source, you should be able to either wire direct or through a relay.

Yes, this this is a wired intercom. it is supplied with 60ft maximum wire you could less depending on the distance between the intercoms. you just coil up the excess wire. If you do not want to run wire then you need a wireless intercom system.

It isn't necessary to mount the receiver by the door. It must be connected to an AC outlet, however. Any convenient and out of the way location should work. I have it in my catch-all room (den), where it is not seen by anyone but me.

We set this up with FrontPoint Security which is similar and the only caution is the range varies with the weather but works great once installed and tested to be sure it is within range. Once installed just turn it off and on manually (using the button) several times with the security system in setup mode.

You can not alarm the system if there is an open window/door unless you by pass that station. I't will give you a trouble light (yellow). You'll need to talk to your alarm company to do that.

You can but it may hinder transmission depending where the unit is mounted.

You can use the Ubiquiti Unifi outdoor AP for this. If you do not have clear line of site to the office you can also attach the outdoor unit to a Ubiquiti sectional antenna to enhance signal to the office.

This is a one to all type of system. However, all units can isolate the call to the front door intercom exclusively. The newer series provides room to room. I believe this system is listed as discontinued on many resellers websites.

I buy this security system as a request from my son so I have no knowledge about but seems to me that you could contact http://www.scytek.net/ for more details
