c44me Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Looking for a wireless doorbell that has IP or can be IP enabled to integrate with C4? Anyone found 1 they like? So far all the wireless doorbells I've looked at have no IP ability or wifi.TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maniac36 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 At you talking about ip enabled "ding dong" or are you looking for some thing with a camera?I'm looking for the same thing! Ultimately, I'd be looking for both coming from an Aiphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Panasonic made the video doorbells, but I couldnt think of a way to tie it in to c4http://www.telephones.com/panasonic/video.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The video doorbells typically have a video output, which you could put into a video server, either by Panasonic or Axis, and there are IP Camera drivers for either of them.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekWPE Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I just for the life of me cant think of a scenario were my doorbell needs ip, tie the doorbell in to a contact on you C4 controller if you cant get a wire to the controller use a card access contact, place a ip camera if you want video and if you want a email telling you some ones there program for that.if you want a phone line interface iv used these systems in the past using one of the relays to trigger C4 contacthttp://www.logenex.com/teledoorbell_products.phpBut to satisfy my curiosity c44me fill me in one what you had in mind that a ip door bell would help with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Would there be anyway to utilize the two way audio with Control4?Also - any idea on what connections need to get from this to the closet housing all the equipment? I was thinking of buying the card access kit for doorbell integration, this isn't something I though of when I built my home.This would be killer if I could figure out a way to integrate this.

ILoveC4 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I would also be curious if there was anyway to utilize two way audio with cameras. Do any of the touchpanels have a microphone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 No, there's no way to utilize the two-way audio.There's not even a way currently to utilize one-way audio from IP Cameras on touchpanels.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c44me Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Derek (and all) the very practical application is in a condo/apartment or other domicile the prohibits drilling into exterior walls and running wires etc. i.e. doorbell must actually be mounted IN or ON the door.

DerekWPE Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 ahh ok now i got it. Your best bet might be the card access contact route, if you mounted the doorbell button to the door with the card access on the back side, not ascetically the best but your kind of stuck not being able to cut holes. other wise im sure a wireless doorbell kit could be modified to work a contact instead of making noise if your handy with a soldering iron.

The base station would be kind of redundant, my homes not that big. I just wanted the cool doorbell camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I have a conventional doorbell (audio only) which I would like to keep and use while at home.I would like to add an outdoor IP Camera at the front door for use when I´m out. It should activate when the doorbell button of the existing system is pushed and deactivate when no more audio and movement is detected.I would like the doorbell push button to originate a message or signal on my mobile (SMS, call) so I can connect to the IP Camera, talk to (and see) the guy at the door.I guess that in order to do so the camera would need to allow external microphone and speakers which I woulf fit into the exsting doorbell case. And I know a shop that provided IP wireless doorbell:http://www.espow.com/wholesale-3-5-tft-lcd-wireless-video-doorbell-doorphone-intercom-with-four-cameras.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
