Bit of a random one - we recently got a new front door section but it doesn’t have a spyglass and with frosted window surrounds, we can’t see who is on the other side before opening.
There seem to be a few wireless intercom units around (don’t need a remote door unlock, just a bell, wireless camera and screen to put in the kitchen to see who’s at the door - oh and lighting to see at night). Can anyone recommend a particular model?
Maplins have one from Yale. Amazon have a bunch of other makes. I don’t know if they’re the kind of thing that break easily or if there are more reliable ones. It’s not the kind of thing you find reviews of though!
I’m fairly sure, that in the future, recognition SW may have improved to the extent of identifying them from their gait. Due to their arses being overflowing with righteous piety, homophobia & general wrongness.
Stu - I’ve seen that, weirdly it only sends the image to your phone, not a monitor. And doesn’t have a doorbell function. I don’t see why they didn’t add that basic functionality.
We’ve had an iron railing fence and gate installed at the bottom of the front garden at the entrance by the garage, and now it seems like a good idea to fit a remote smart door bell.
Slight fubar is that the gate is just under 100 yards from the front door, and our Wi-fi probably only reaches 40 ish yards down the garden.
Any ideas beyond having an Ethernet cable run all the way down the garden into the garage and up to the front (next to gate)? There is electricity in the garage so could be wired .
Presumably from the same meter as the house ? One of those via-the-mains intercoms might work that far, if you don’t mind having the mains that also powers your hifi modulated by whatever the intercom puts onto it.
