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 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: Can the WiFi intercoms trigger a door release relay from a phone, and are there ongoing costs?
A: Yes, the door release can be activated through the app on a phone. There are no ongoing fees for using the app once the system is installed.

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.
