过去,对讲系统是大型企业和住在配备管家的豪宅中的唯一领域。现在,即使是普通人也可以获得适合家庭或办公室使用的无线对讲系统。妈妈(Moms)们再也不用大喊晚餐准备好了,这肯定会让每个人的家更安静一点。
以下是适用于家庭或小型企业的各种应用的十种最佳无线对讲解决方案。
您可能知道亚马逊 Echo(Amazon Echo)品牌是一种智能扬声器,它将亚马逊的 Alexa(Amazon’s Alexa )语音助手带入家庭环境。Echo Show是一款配备屏幕 的高级Echo设备。(Echo)
在某些方面,Show的功能有点像永久安装的平板电脑。您可以使用它来观看内容、听音乐或浏览网页。除其他事项外。但是,Show与遍布您家的(Show)Echo扬声器和设备相结合,可以用作智能对讲系统。
您可以“插入”以呼叫您家中的特定设备,或者如果您想确保每个人都能听到您的声音,您可以发布全家范围的公告。虽然这需要投资至少一台Show和几台Echo扬声器,但与仅用作对讲机的系统相比,它的整体价格仍然出人意料地好。
Ring已经成为智能可视门铃对讲的代名词。如此之多,如果人们开始将所有视频门铃称为“环”,我们不会感到惊讶。就像“胡佛”一般用来指代真空吸尘器一样。
这个特殊型号是 Ring 2,它配备全高清(Full HD)摄像头和红外夜视仪。它与Alexa家庭自动化生态系统(Ecosystem)集成,因此可以与我们上面介绍的Echo Show一起使用。(Echo Show)但是,您不需要Echo设备即可使用它。它还可以连接到 PC 或移动设备。
最重要的是,由于它是基于互联网的,您可以在世界任何地方通过互联网连接使用此对讲机。这意味着您可以监控门前发生的事情,并轻松地与欢迎和不受欢迎的访客交谈。
虽然数据信号是无线的,但您仍然需要为Ring供电。这意味着要么依靠必须定期更换的可充电电池,要么依靠现有的门铃电线供电,并将电池作为后备。
应该注意的是,围绕 Ring(privacy concerns around Ring)以及第三方如何使用来自这些设备的数据存在一些隐私问题。如果这是您所关心的事情,请做一些功课,以了解最终用户条款的确切含义以及您是否同意它们。
同样重要的是要注意,您需要按月(monthly subscription)付费才能获得该产品的全部价值和使用。
Nucleus Anywhere专门作为家用无线对讲系统出售,您需要多个单元。一个用于您希望连接的每个房间。Nucleus有点贵,特别是如果您有多个房间需要连接,但它是您今天可以购买的最先进的智能无线对讲系统之一。
它还可以与亚马逊 Alexa(Amazon Alexa)服务集成,这意味着每个对讲机也可以用作通用智能设备。
Nucleus Anywhere系统的一个非常酷的功能是它可以超越房间到房间的通信。如果您的家人和朋友安装了相同的系统,您也可以进行家对家通话。此外,还有一个移动应用程序也可以在旅途中与您联系。
其余时间,您可以使用Nucleus Anywhere通过Alexa操作智能家居设备、呼叫Uber 、播放音乐以及其他(Uber)Alexa设备可以做的几乎所有事情。
婴儿监视器本质上只是一种特殊类型的家庭对讲系统,您可以确定智能对讲革命并没有让这些基本设备保持原样。因此,这里我们有一个时髦的名字Motorola MBP164 CONNECT。是的,这就是拥有悠久历史的优秀手机(excellent mobile phones)和语音通信技术的摩托罗拉。(Motorola)
虽然这是一个智能的、联网的婴儿监视器,但它也是一个传统的系统。MBP164 的直视范围约为 900 英尺,插入子单元后即可立即使用MBP164 。子单元插入插座,父单元使用可充电电池。
当您将子设备连接到WiFi时,真正的派对技巧就来了。然后,您可以通过互联网将应用程序下载到您的手机,该应用程序提供与您的父设备相同的功能。更好的是,还有很酷的活动跟踪和警报功能,可确保您在初中卧室发生变化的那一刻就知道。
与我们现在看到的所有智能家居、WiFi 连接系统相比, Samcom(Samcom)的这个对讲系统是一种更加传统的产品。这不是一件坏事!如果您想要的只是一个可靠的家庭无线对讲系统,该系统不能通过软件更新或在互联网出现故障时停止工作,那么很可能就是这样。
FTAN20A可能(FTAN20A)是“哑巴”,但它仍然是一个相当复杂的数字无线电对讲机。它拥有 20 个独立的频道,这意味着多达 19 个单元一起工作。
您可以像婴儿监视器一样持续监控特定单元,也可以进行一对多呼叫。这些对讲机由USB供电,这也意味着您可以使用便携式移动电源、手机充电器和任何其他 5V USB电源为每个单元供电。请务必查看多件装优惠,每件商品均提供可观的折扣。
在这里,我们有另一个支持 Alexa 的可视门铃对讲机,但价格比高级竞争对手更可口。Remo+Ring 2大致相同的功能,但具有无需订阅费即可提供在线服务的明显优势。如果您需要比免费套餐提供的更多容量,它确实有付费订阅。
就像Ring一样,RemoBell S提供基于应用程序的警报和监控、高清视频和广阔的视野。它还具有红外夜视功能!最重要的是,这与我们在上面看到的Ring(Ring) 2具有同等的功能,但价格要低得多。如果您对不太知名的品牌没意见,那么RemoBell S 就很(RemoBell S)划算。
这是另一种提供远程数字无线电通信的非智能对讲解决方案。理想条件下最多半英里!该系统提供七个频道和组呼功能。这些装置通过USB运行,这使得无论放在哪里都可以轻松地为它们供电,并且您可以以最低的价格获得多件装。
只需将它们插入,您的通信系统基本上就可以使用了。对于不关心智能功能,只想在支持范围内连接多个点的预算用户来说,这是一个绝佳的选择。
Wuloo 10 通道对讲系统加入了本综述中的其他“哑”对讲系统,作为一个不使用WiFi工作的系统。这是一个简单、直接的数字无线电解决方案。使它在竞争中脱颖而出的是特别激进的定价。
特别是两件套是我们见过的最便宜的产品之一,它提供USB 供电(USB-powered)、即插即用的数字对讲功能。假设您不住在改建的酒店中,这使得购买多个单元并连接典型家庭中的每个房间都可以负担得起。
它的射程为 5,000 英尺,可通过移动电源运行,这意味着您也可以连接外部建筑物并轻松移动设备。这里没什么好写的,但我们确信,以这个价格会有大量需求。
海康威视是我们看到在预算数字产品领域变得更加突出的品牌。该公司以创建具有良好数字监控技术的安全系统而闻名。他们还销售 SD 卡和其他相关物品以支持该生态系统。
这款智能门铃对讲机是他们对创新Ring(Ring)系统的回应,就价格而言,它与Ring 2 差不多。但是,表面上存在明显差异。
首先(First),没有电池电量。这意味着您需要将其连接到有线电源。海康威视(Hikvision)提供自己的应用程序用于通过设备进行监控和通话,但没有云存储系统。取而代之的是一个 SD 卡插槽,最多可容纳 128GB 卡。
录音保存在这张卡上,可以从那里检索。这当然有利也有弊。您不必依靠互联网连接来保存镜头,但有人可能会破坏设备和里面的卡。
海康威视(Hikvision)有一个 3 兆像素的传感器,这意味着它击败了使用Ring 2获得的“仅仅”1080p 视频。其他一切都如您所愿,具有运动检测、红外夜视和 180 度视野。由于其定价与Ring 2(Ring 2)非常接近,因此选择取决于哪种方法更适合您自己的需求。
如果您对Ring(Ring)提供的基于云的、支持 Alexa 的产品不感兴趣,那么海康威视(Hikvision)实际上可能是一款更具吸引力的产品。
该产品并不是真正的对讲机。相反,它是一个寻呼机系统。我们将其包括在内是因为大量认为他们想要的是全语音对讲机的人实际上正在寻找无线寻呼机系统。
如果您家中有人偶尔需要帮助,例如体弱者、老人或残疾人,那么寻呼系统会更有效。特别是如果他们有沟通问题。
CallToU带有(CallToU)多个呼叫按钮和插件寻呼机。拥有通话按钮的人所要做的就是按下它。这将提醒那些有寻呼机的人他们需要帮助。呼叫按钮包括颈带,但它们也可以固定在床头柜或相关人员可以到达的任何其他区域。
由于这些比完整的对讲机更简单,它们也是一种更便宜的解决方案,而且在 500 英尺的范围内,除了看护之外,还有类似的用例。如果您只需要打电话给某人,为什么要在对讲机上花更多的钱?
你让?(You Rang?)
如果您认为我们可以与世界另一端的某人进行视频通话很愚蠢,但必须在大厅里大喊大叫才能在字面上大喊大叫距离内引起人们的注意,那么这些对讲机解决方案将使生活变得一团糟容易得多。无论你选择聪明、笨拙的东西还是只是一个充满活力的门铃,你被滥用的可怜的声带都会感谢你。
10 Best Wireless Intercom Systems For Home Or Small Business
It used to be that intercom systems were the sole domain of large busineѕses and peoplе who lived іn butler-equipped mansions. Nоw, even regulаr folk cаn gеt a decent wireless intercom system for home or office use. Moms no longer have to shout that dinner’s ready, which is sure to make everyone’s home a littlе more peaсeful.
Here are ten of the best wireless intercom solutions for various applications at home or for your small business.
You may know the Amazon Echo brand as a type of smart speaker that brings Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant to the home environment. The Echo Show is an advanced Echo device that’s equipped with a screen.
In some ways, the Show functions a bit like a permanently installed tablet. You can use it to watch content, listen to music or browse the web. Among other things. However, the Show, combined with the Echo speakers and devices spread through your home, can be used as a smart intercom system.
You can “drop in” to call a specific device in your home or you can do a home-wide announcement if you want to make sure everyone hears you. While this requires investment in at least one Show and several Echo speakers, it still works out surprisingly well in terms of overall price when compared to systems that only work as an intercom.
Ring has become synonymous with the idea of a smart video doorbell intercom. So much so, that we wouldn’t be surprised if people start referring to all video doorbells as “Rings”. In the same way that “Hoover” is used to refer to vacuum cleaners in general.
This particular model is the Ring 2, which sports a Full HD camera and infrared night vision. It integrates with the Alexa home automation Ecosystem, so it’ll work with the Echo Show we covered above. You don’t need Echo devices to use it however. It can also connect to a PC or mobile device.
Best of all, since it’s internet based, you can use this intercom from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Which means you can monitor what’s happening in front of your door and speak to both welcome and unwelcome visitors with ease.
While the data signal is wireless, you still need to provide power to the Ring. This means either relying on the rechargeable battery, which has to be changed out periodically or the power from existing doorbell wires, with the battery as a fallback.
It should be noted that there have been some privacy concerns around Ring and how data from these devices are used by third parties. If that’s the sort of thing that concerns you, do a little homework to see exactly what the end-user terms are and whether you agree with them.
It’s also important to note that you need to pay a monthly subscription to get the full value and use from this product.
The Nucleus Anywhere is sold specifically as a wireless intercom system for home, and you’ll need multiple units. One for every room you wish to connect. The Nucleus is a bit pricey, especially if you have multiple rooms that need to be hooked up, but it is one of the most advanced smart wireless intercom systems you can buy today.
It can also integrate with the Amazon Alexa service, which means that each intercom can also function as a general-purpose smart device.
One very cool feature of the Nucleus Anywhere system is that it can go beyond room-to-room communication. If your family and friends have the same system installed, you can do home-to-home calls as well. Moreover, there’s a mobile app that can connect you when on the go as well.
The rest of the time you can use the Nucleus Anywhere to operate smart home device via Alexa, call an Uber, play music and pretty much everything that other Alexa devices can do.
A baby monitor is in essence just a specialized type of home intercom system and you can be sure that the smart intercom revolution hasn’t left these essential devices untouched. Thus, here we have the snappily-names Motorola MBP164 CONNECT. Yes, it’s the same Motorola with a long history of excellent mobile phones and voice communication technologies.
While this is a smart, internet-connected baby monitor, it is also a traditional system as well. With about a 900-foot range with direct line of sight, you can immediately use the MBP164 after plugging in the child unit. The child unit plugs into an outlet and the parent unit runs off a rechargeable battery.
The real party trick comes when you connect the child unit to the WiFi. Then you can download an app to your phone that provides the same functionality as your parent unit over the internet. Even better, there are cool activity tracking and alert functions that make sure you know the very second something changes in junior’s bedroom.
This intercom system from Samcom is a much more traditional product compared to all the smart home, WiFi-connected systems we’re seeing these days. That’s not automatically a bad thing! If all you want is a reliable wireless intercom system for home that can’t be borked via a software update or stops working when the internet goes down, this may very well be it.
The FTAN20A may be “dumb”, but its still a pretty sophisticated digital radio intercom. It sports 20 individual channels, which translates to as many as 19 units working together.
You can monitor specific units constantly, almost like a baby monitor and one-to-many calls are also possible. These intercoms are powered by USB, which also means you can use portable power banks, phone chargers and any other 5V USB power source to power up each unit. Be sure to check out the multipack offers, which come with a decent discount on a per-unit basis.
Here we have another Alexa-enabled video doorbell intercom, but at a price much more palatable than the premium competition. The Remo+ offers about the same functionality as the Ring 2, but has the distinct advantage of needing no subscription fee to offer online services. It does have paid subscriptions if you need more capacity than the free tier offers.
Just like the Ring, the RemoBell S offers app-based alerts and monitoring, HD video and a wide field of vision. It also has infrared night vision! The bottom line is that this has feature parity with the Ring 2 we looked at above, but at a significantly lower price. If you’re OK with a less famous brand, the RemoBell S is a great deal.
This is another non-smart intercom solution that offers long-range digital radio communication. As much as half a mile under ideal conditions! This system offers seven channels and a group call function. The units run off USB, which makes it easy to give them power wherever they are put and you can get a multi-pack at a rock-bottom price.
Just plug them in and your communication system is basically good to go. For budget users who don’t care about smart features and just want to connect multiple points within the supported range, this is an excellent choice.
The Wuloo 10-channel intercom system joins the other “dumb” intercoms in this roundup as a system that doesn’t use WiFi to work. It’s a simple, straightforward digital radio solution. What does set it apart from the competition is particularly aggressive pricing.
The two-unit pack in particular is one of the cheapest products we’ve seen that offers USB-powered, plug-and-play digital intercom functionality. This makes it affordable to buy multiple units and hook up every room in the typical home, assuming you don’t live in a converted hotel.
It has a 5,000-foot range and will run from a power-bank, which means you can connect outside buildings as well and easily move the devices around. There’s not much to write home about here, but at this price there will be plenty of demand, we’re sure.
Hikvision is a brand we’re seeing become more prominent in the budget digital product space. The company is known for creating security systems with good digital surveillance technology. They also sell SD cards and other related items in support of that ecosystem.
This smart doorbell intercom is their answer to the innovate Ring system and in terms of price it’s about on par with the Ring 2. However, there are stark differences under the surface.
First of all, there’s no battery power. Which means you need to hook it up with wired power. Hikvision provide their own app for monitoring and talking through the device, but there is no cloud storage system. Instead, there’s an SD card slot that can take up to 128GB cards.
Recordings are saved to this card and can be retrieved from there. That has pros and cons of course. You don’t have to rely on an internet connection to save footage, but someone could destroy the device and the card inside as well.
The Hikvision has a 3 megapixel sensor, which means it beats the “mere” 1080p video you get with the Ring 2. Everything else is as you’d expect as well, with motion detection, infrared night vision and a 180-degree field of view. With its pricing so close to that of the Ring 2, the choice is down to which approach better fits your own needs.
If you have little interest in the cloud-based, Alexa-enabled offering from Ring, the Hikvision may actually be a more compelling product for the money.
This product isn’t really an intercom. Instead it’s a pager system. We’ve included it because a significant number of people who think what they want is a full-voice intercom are actually looking for a wireless pager system.
If you have someone in your household who occasionally needs help, such as frail, elderly or disabled persons, then a pager system can be more effective. Especially if they have communication problems.
The CallToU comes with multiple call buttons and plug-in pagers. All the person with the call button has to do is press it. This will alert those with pagers that they need help. Neck straps are included for the call buttons, but they can also be affixed to bedside stands or any other area the person in question can reach.
Since these are simpler than a full intercom, they are also a much cheaper solution and with a range of 500 feet there are use cases for something like this beyond caretaking. If all you need is to call someone over, why spend more on an intercom?
You Rang?
If you think it’s silly that we can video call someone on the other side of the world, but have to yell down the hall to get the attention of people within literal shouting distance, then these intercom solutions are going to make life a heck of a lot easier. Whether you go with something smart, dumb or just a juiced-up doorbell, your poor abused vocal cords will thank you.
