Actually, right now its proof-of-concept in an existing home, which I built three years ago, fully wired. I have a minimum of two cat5 in each room, as well as attic and garage, all home-run into the basement. I want to see if I can get this to work, in order to know how to prewire the next house we're breaking ground on in a few months.
The idea is to get an intercom/PA system going, as well as utilize the PBX as a baby-monitor (dial ext, connect mic in one -- soon two -- bedrooms to speaker in master bedroom). I got one Sipura in the office, the rest in the basement -- like I said, wiring isn't the issue. I'll research some doorphones -- still think that's so far the best lead. The Grandstream doesn't seem like a good solution, since it inserts that announcement-beep before turning on speaker. > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Shaw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 6:37 PM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] SIP "unphones" > > > Is this for a remodel or a new home?
