Below are questions asked by our customers regarding our WiFi intercoms. Wi-Fi–enabled door and gate intercom systems provide mobile app–based two-way audio, live video, remote access control, and modular options for homes and businesses.
Q: I need an outdoor-to-indoor intercom system that covers 800 feet and includes push button, speaker, microphone, card entry, and gate control — what do you recommend?
A: For a setup that includes communication, card entry, and push button gate access over 800 feet, you'll need a WiFi or CAT5-based intercom system. We recommend taking a look at this option: https://www.intercomsonline.com/wifi-video-system-with-keypad
Q: Is there a free-standing cellular intercom that can call up to 8 cell phones in succession from a single button?
A: Standard cellular intercoms typically support up to four phone numbers per button and roll through them until someone answers. For calling more users, alternatives include app-based systems like the IO1125 cellular video intercom or the IO1123 WiFi video intercom. These options allow multiple users to receive calls through an app, provided you have cellular service or WiFi coverage.
Q: I need a WiFi-connected outdoor call box that communicates with a smartphone. What do you recommend?
A: If you only need a call button with two-way voice and no keypad, the IO1115 WiFi/CAT-5 intercom is a suitable solution. If you need a keypad also, then the IO1123 would work.
Q: I need an intercom for a remote gate with no cell or WiFi service, about half a mile from the house. What are my options?
A: If the house has internet, WiFi/CAT-5 intercoms such as the IO1039 or IO1123 can work using a smartphone app. Without internet, a long-range wireless call box like the RT1095 may work, but performance can be affected by terrain and foliage growth.

Q: What intercom can I use for a
remote gate with no Wi-Fi or cell service, about half a mile from the
house through trees? We do have Starlink but it is not reliable.
A: If you want smartphone connectivity, you would need internet, so the Wi-Fi/CAT5 units like the IO1039 or IO1123 only work when Starlink is up. Without internet, the alternative is a long-range wireless callbox such as the RT1095, though reliability may vary with foliage. The wireless intercom may work fine in the winter, but not in the summer.
