Is there an intercom feature so I can talk to visitors that come to the door?

yes it dos have that feature,its a two way intercom that is built into the cameras,as soon as the cameras detect motion on the out side of your house,the sound and video comes on the moniter that is in the inside of your house,which lets you hear and see the person talking on the out side of your house,then if you want to talk to them with out even opening the door,you just push the talk button on the moniter and they will be able to hear you talk and its real loud and clear,i installed this system for my father in law and it works real good for him.

There are a number of different ring tones that you can select. It is easy to have different ring tones for different doors.

All of these other answers are wrong! As long as you have the H/W Version B.1 you can talk to people on the viewing end of this camera. You have to do it while using mydlink.com. There is a microphone button that you click on and you have to activate it in settings. The audio quality is questionable but it is a two-way audio camera. I use it quite frequently to annoy my wife.

I am not a technical person, but have been happy with our use where parties on both ends can speak freely to each other. For the price, has worked well enough thus far

Yes, you can access the answering system remotely - you set up a 3-digit access code that you enter when the greeting message starts. We do it all the time - no problems!

There is a feature you can disable if you want that lets you communicate with the panel. Mine is currently disabled.

Yes, there are intercom capabilities. This is a great phone. I suggest this purchase. I bought my phone two years ago and not one complaint so far.

I love our intercom. We use it between the main part of the house and the garage where my husband works on his cars. The "call" button is loud enough for him to hear over power tools.

Yes. Just above the 'Play' button is a Locator/Intercom button.... Happy Hunting!

It depends on the application you're using. Skype certainly gives you that option.

Yes. You call the direct line. Dial your extension, and when you hear your personal greeting, dial the remote entry pass code

Yes, you must press the button to initiate the intercom function. Once activated you can talk back and forth. Do do not use it like a ouch to talk button. Hope that helps.

It can as long as your system supports POTS ports and you have a method to queue the incoming call into your system, as this device will only ring twice, which is about 10 to 12 seconds, at which point your system MUST answer the call, or the person will have to press the button again. We are going to use the Linksys SPA3102, since we have used it many times to do similar things in the past and it is very programmable. It is an advanced configuration, not something a novice VoIP admin will figure out. If you Google "Answer your front door with Asterisk" from NerdVittles you can learn quite a bit more about how to do this on an Open Source phone system.

If you have nearby room service availability that button will alert them that you need immediate service. It works for me occasionally

Open up the front door where the access card is located. The receiver's ID will be listed there on a small white tag. Some HR20s have it also on a sticker on the bottom of the unit.

Yes, but our instruction book has been misplaced--we have our watch set so that there is no chiming and will talk only when requested but we do not remember how to do this without the instruction book. Independent Living Aids has an instruction manual on-line for free download. Their e-mail is techsupport@independentliving.com

These intercoms require that both buildings' electrical systems be tied together. My recommendation is to use walkie-talkies. That is the solution I chose for a similar problem.
