One of the most popular video intercoms on the market not only lets you see who is at the door, it also records a short video clip to an internal memory card.  You can use the Cyrex Networks HFX-800M hands-free video intercom/door phone system to safely identify visitors even before answering. When someone rings the doorbell, the system sends live audio and video to the indoor 4-inch, full-color monitor. You simply press a button and you can then speak hands free.

The HFX-800 is also the first video intercom in the industry to offer a full motion Video and Audio clip recording on a removable Secure Digital card. Video clips are viewed and archived on any PC or MAC. Chances are if someone breaks in to your home or business, they’ll ring the doorbell to make sure no one is there (and pretend they’re selling something if you are). You’ll have a nice video to show the police!

The HFX series Hands-Free Color Intercom System even has a night vision mode to accommodate any lighting environment. A built-in infrared system provides supplemental lighting to enhance night viewing. The door phone camera operates in color during daylight and black & white in low lighting conditions.

For the visitor, the HFX-800M in no more difficult to use than a normal doorbell (and the button is still lighted). The unit is not only convenient to use but also designed to provide an additional measure of security. For business/commercial applications where access control is a concern, the system safeguards the entrance while remaining user-friendly to guests.

You can even add an external electric door lock to open the door from the indoor monitor and the door status indicator tells you when the lock is open!

The attractive design of the hands-free intercom system is not only functional, but is also a stylish addition to any décor. Installation is a quick and easy.

There are lots of good reasons to get a video intercom. Security is one of them. Installing a video intercom system at your front door improves your home or business security. A video intercom enables you to not only talk to someone at your front door, but also to see them as well. That gives you more information to make the decision whether you want to let someone in or not without even getting near the door.

A video intercom consists of at least two components, a weatherproof camera and door bell button unit that goes at the front door, and a monitor unit that enables you to see who is at the camera. You can buy monitors that provide either a black and white or color picture.

When someone presses the call button on the video door bell it activates its camera and alerts the indoor monitor. You then talk to them while you view their image. You can even press an open lock button if you have an optional electric door lock installed.
