Introduction

This model allows you to identify and communicate with callers at the door, from
the security and convenience of any room in your home. Visitors activate the
system by pressing a call button on the outdoor camera, which sounds a
doorbell chime as well as turning on the inside video monitor. A 2 way audio
intercom then lets you speak with visitors after first visually identifying them. It
consists of a monitor station and an outdoor camera unit. Expansion is possible
to include up to 8 monitors, 2 outdoor camera stations and 2 dome surveillance
cameras with a simple on-screen menu programming change at the monitor
station.
