Essential Info

When a visitor presses the button on the door intercom, the DoorBell Fon rings the phone in your home with a distinctive ring to alert users that someone is at the intercom. Pick up the phone to converse with whomever is at the door or 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 as the system provides the necessary voltage to operate on its own.

  • 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
    Add this optional lock controller, an electric door strike and power supply and you can unlock the door from the phone by pressing "*".

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

    Doorchime Interface Module
    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
    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.

    Intercom Awning Single Gang
    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.
    CARL -- greenville, SC   2/25/2013
    very good
    NORMA J -- oneill, NE   1/26/2013
    This is my second doorbell answering system purchase. It's being held as back-up for if and when the first one -- several years old by now -- might fail. The bottom line is I can't be without it. As a handicapped person who helps run a rental business for my brother, the intercom saves me from falling and/or missing a client on a daily basis. It's a wonderful and affordable product. Installation does require phone system knowledge.
    THOMAS J -- port orange, FL   10/1/2012
    Arrived on time. Had questions on install and were answered quickly and correctly.
    LILLIAN -- asheville, NC   9/24/2012
    Great Item. Filled a real need. We opted to replace the the 3 ring chip with an upgrade to the 8 ring chip from the manufacturer and love it. Although it does not have a unique ring, on our phones the caller is totally blank so we know it is the doorbell phone.
    GEORGE -- loveland, OH   8/2/2012
    This device works well. It is very useful for a person in a wheelchair who cannot easily get to the door when someone rings.
    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.
    JEANNE E -- irvine, CA   12/23/2011
    A rather dated design yet functional. Somewhat overpriced, especially the extras like the door chime unit. The unit seems a little sensitive to the occasional erroneous call.
    JAMES -- milwaukee, WI   12/15/2011
    Product as advertised. Works perfectly. Delivery was remarkably fast.
    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
