Who should buy the Wireless Portable Intercom Voice Activated?

This product is great for those with large houses, possibly a two storey house with a basement too. If you are tired of shouting across the house calling for people, this intercom will save you the hassle. It is a good choice also because it is truly wireless, unlike power line carrier intercoms.

This intercom is also a good option for those who require multiple communication channels across a small building block. It can have several intercom units installed all over and its signal boosted. It can make for a simple security system if need be. Its other advantage is that it uses batteries, making it a great choice for installing in places where power supply might not be close by.

Pros and cons of theWireless Portable Intercom Voice Activated

Pros:

• No wires needed to operate
• Expandable for multiple unit communication
• Secure link
• Clear signals over long distances with no interruption
• VOX mode conserves battery power
• Easy to use controls

Cons:

• Adding extra units might be a small challenge, though customer support exist for such issues
• Sound quality might also not be too good if you talk into the unit. Try talking normally, without speaking directly into the unit to get better sound

Our conclusion of the Review

While this may not be the most sophisticated unit available around, it certainly is decent enough. The trick with it is knowing how to use it properly in order to get the best out of it. Do not speak directly into the microphone, do not shout and you will most likely get better sound quality.

Its biggest redeeming quality, though, is that its signal is quite clear. Everyone who uses it doesn’t complain about it dropping sound or getting interference, only that understanding what is being said can be somewhat challenging. As stated before, the solution to getting the best sound is to watch how you speak into the unit. Also, it doesn’t hurt that it is quite compact and good looking either.

For its compatibility, expandability, and extended range, the price is decent. If looking for a basic intercom, this will do the job.

Wireless units are a very convenient invention. While some time ago they were used exclusively for military and security uses, today, they have become an accessory in the house and office. Today, they are highly portable, feature great security options and quality sound. The Reporter RWIS Chamberlain Wireless Intercom comes as a pair. It is a true wireless system, using FM communication as opposed to the more problematic power line connection. Here is a little more about it.

Our conclusion of the Reporter RWIS Chamberlain Wireless Portable 4-Channel Intercom System Review

This wireless intercom system gives great service. It may be a bit of a pain to set up and understand, but it is usually not that difficult to understand how it works. We think that the sound and plenty of other convenient features make it quite a worthwhile purchase.

For home solutions to wireless communication, a simple and cheap wireless intercom is a great solution. Not only does it eliminate those pesky wires ruining your house’s overall look, it can be pretty convenient if your house is not too small. The NOVI WI-4C uses your house’s existing power connection to transmit sound. These kinds of intercoms typically face the challenge of interference and connectivity, so how does this intercom handle them? Here is its performance based on an analysis of it features, tests and other customer reviews.

Features of the NOVI WI-4C

• Comes with 4 channels
• Wide range of up to 1500 feet
• Lock button available too

• Easy to set up
• Expandable

Who should buy the NOVI WI-4C?

This installation is best for a home setting which does not have a lot of electronics plugged into the system. This seems more and more unlikely in the modern day house considering the many number of electrical goodies we treat ourselves to. However, for those with experience with power line carrier intercoms, you know that electronics such as microwaves and fridges can cause static interference for your intercom. An office setting has too many other machines that are in constant use which will render this intercom useless.

The home you are using should be wired properly on the same electrical circuit. Power line carrier intercoms like this one are notorious for being selective as to which socket to create a connection with. A large house will most probably have several circuits, making it impossible for this intercom to work.

So, in summary, this is best for a simple house structure with a not-so-complicated wiring system.

Pros and cons of theNOVI WI-4C

Pros:

• Very affordable
• Easy to set up
• Can be expanded to accommodate other intercom units
• Can hold one channel or multi-channel conversation
• Decent sound

Cons:

• Being a power line dependent intercom, it is susceptible to static and interference. This makes it unsuitable for office use or houses that have a lot of electronics
• It may be a little difficult to set up, especially if you are living in a big house
• May not work in all houses because of the circuit arrangements

Our conclusion of the NOVI WI-4C Review

This intercom is simple and straightforward. It doesn’t promise the world, and has a price tag that reflects it. When you do get the set up right, it works like a dream. You can communicate with other rooms, either all of them or a select one. You can also leave it to monitor a specific channel, a great tool if you are on babysitting duty.

However, the troubles that plague power circuit dependent wireless intercoms still plague it too. The interference from the machines and challenge of getting outlets that allow the unit to work can be a bit frustrating. However, its redeeming factor is that its price is very low and for an intercom in its category, it is good quality.
