Overview

  • Rings phones in the home when door intercom button is pressed
  • Pick up the phone to converse with door intercom

Essential Info

When a visitor presses the button on the door intercom, the DoorBell Fon rings the phones in your home with a distinctive ring. Pick up the phone to converse with the door. If you are on the phone when a visitor arrives a call waiting tone will sound to alert you. In fact, the DoorBell Fon system will even work without phone service. The system provides the necessary voltage to operate on its own.

What's Included

  • One ivory intercom
  • Control unit
  • More Info


    Up to 2 intercom stations can be attached. Add an optional Electric Lock Controller, electric door strike, a corresponding power supply and you can unlock the door from the phone by pressing "*". Easy 2 wire connection to door intercoms. Works with answering machines, most home PBX phone systems, and phone-company provided services like voice mail. Includes one door intercom station, which measures 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" X 1", and a power supply.

    Expand your intercom system with these optional accessories:

    Electric Lock Controller (#5070EL)
    Add this optional lock controller and an electric door strike and power supply and you can unlock the door from the phone by pressing "*".

    We recommend the following doorstrikes:
    Electric Doorstrike 8-16VAC (#5190)
    16VAC Electric Doorstrike for Schlage Locks (#5190S)
    12VDC Electric Doorstrike for Schlage Locks (#5190S12)

    A seperate power supply is required when using a doorstrike. See the doorstrike page for a recommended power supply.

    Doorchime Interface Module (#5070CI)
    Provides 800ms of dry contact contact closure, and is simply bridged to the door box leads. Activated by the push button on the door box, it's perfect for integrating a door chime, activating a camera, or turning on a light with your DoorBell Fon system. Requires two AA batteries, included.

    Ring Extender (#5070R)
    Increases the number of rings the DoorBell Fon will provide from three to eight. Normally, after someone presses the button on the outdoor intercom station, the phone will ring and there be approximately 20 seconds available for you to pick up the telephone and be automatically connected to the doorbox. By installing this chip, you'll have a total of 8 rings or about one minute.

    Extra Ivory Intercom (#5070DS)
    For applications where you have multiple entryways, purchase an additional intercom. Also available in White and Brass.

    Intercom Awning Single Gang (#5070A)
    If your intercom is not located under an awning, we recommend that you purchase this awning specifically designed to protect the intercom against direct rain and snow.

    I could not have asked for a better shopping experience. THANK YOU.
    CHET -- bolivar, MO   5/13/2012
    These units are great! I've installed one in each of my three homes......well made, work well, and simple to install. Manufacturer tech support helped when there was a slight problem (on my end.)
    JAMES -- yorba linda, CA   4/1/2012
    Does everything is says. Easy install and dependable.
    MARIO -- granby, QC   11/21/2011
    I am very happy with this product
    ALAIN -- vaudreuil-dorion, QC   11/20/2011
    BERNARD -- laval, QC   10/27/2011
    my 2nd purchase for a friend, works great.
    WILLIAM -- barnstead, NH   10/10/2011
    My father is very hard of hearing. He can no longer hear the door bell, but his house is full of amplified phones with very loud ringers, so this does the trick. I was concerned that the clarity of the outdoor intercom unit might not be that good, but he has no problems at all understanding the person at the door. Now Meals-on-Wheels has no problems getting his attention to come to the door. This was the perfect answer for his situation. BTW -- installation was very easy, just be aware that it has to be installed upstream from all the phones in the house. Its ideal if you can install this near the network interface -- i.e. where the phone line comes into your house.
    JEFF -- paradise, XX   3/14/2011
    Product was exactly what I needed. Works great! It was easy to hook up and the distinctive ring on the phone means the dog no longer barks when someone rings from the door as with the doorbell! Prompt delivery from Smarthome, will definitely order from them again.
    CINTRA -- aranguez, XX   1/8/2011
    Great Service. Product yet to be installed. However I have no doubtI will shop here again.
    TERENCE -- atkinson, NH   11/12/2010
    I really like this product, however... I am using it with one base station corded phone, and 4 cordless. When someone rings at the door, you cannot tell the difference between that and a regular phone call. The caller ID reads "incoming call". It still works really well, and is very convienient, if there was some way to have the caller ID say "doorbell" it would be awesome. I did call the support number, and they were very good, but there is no way to remedy this issue. Very easy installation.
    BERNARD -- laval, QC   10/31/2010
    works perfectly, now we can stay in our backyard & answer our door with cordless phones. I used the door #2 connection instead of # 1, gives a better ringing differencial tone on the house phone. Love it.
    WOO JUNG -- loma linda, CA   10/14/2010
    Accurate description and fast shipping. Thanks,
    MARTYN -- okotoks, AB   6/25/2010
    I was astounded at how fast this arrived. It came the next day all the way from California to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Tremendous service. Martyn Wesley, Calgary, Alberta
    JAMES K -- niceville, FL   5/7/2010
    Excellent product. Easy to install. Adds valuable convenience in a multi-story home or building. You can identify & observe your visitors inside a locked door with the 911 instrument in hand without even thinking about it.
    ROD -- galion, OH   2/4/2010
    I did not notice before ordering it required an 110 volt outlet near the black box. Also, I had to go to the net and google phone wire color codes so I could figure out which phone wires went where. The phone wires were like orange, blue white striped ect. not just red, black, green, and yellow that I was used to. I ordered with the door strike controller and everything works great! I used with Hess 5000 series strike. I also used the Hess smart pac II.
    SUSAN -- kirkland, WA   1/23/2010
    Love it. Tempted to get the longer ring module, as I have two doors and just a couple of rings is not quite enough to distinguish them. Wish there were an easy Insteon interface so I could take some remote action.
    KIMBERLY -- west palm beach, FL   1/17/2010
    Item works great! Installation is COMPLICATED. It is a wonderful system, but you better know alot about your homes wiring or you will have difficulty.
    MATTHEW -- wichita falls, TX   1/16/2010
    Product works great
    SCOTT -- saco, ME   1/8/2010
    Works great - sound quality is fine - I have realatively good technical skills and it took me about 45 minutes to hook up -- must be connected to the phone line, placed before other phones on the line I connected it directly to the phone company box. I had trouble finding my doorbell transformer (you use the transformer wire to connect to the existing doorbell wire). Eventually found it inside my electrical breaker box (6 year old home)
    DANIEL -- brillion, WI   12/29/2009
    Great addition fo our new office
