 A Simple Means for SecurityJun 18, 2012
By Bryan Carey
"Bryan Carey"
Bell & Howell's Wireless Video Door Intercom System is a simple system that can be used to communicate directly with someone outside your front door. The device is not just an intercom system- it also presents a video image of the person at the door, for better security.
This device pretty much works as it promises to work and it is basically a walkie- talkie with a video screen. One has to press the button to talk and, likewise, the person at the front door has to press the button to respond. The two- way communication has to be initiated on both ends for the device to work the way it should. You can still view the person at the door regardless, but for them to respond to your questions, they have to press the button. Don't be surprised if you have to instruct the person at the door to press the button before they speak. Most will not know this and will start to answer questions that cannot be heard on the other end until the button is pressed.
Besides the manual operation mentioned above, another issue I have with this system is the video quality. Now, I realize that the product is a simple one, but for the price, I expect a little clearer and more accurate image. It appears I am not alone with this complaint- many other consumers have said the same thing. You can easily tell who is at the door, but the video quality does not display the colors very well.
Security is nice and this Bell & Howell intercom system does provide some security and ability to tell who is standing at the front door before you turn the knob. It is overpriced for what you get, but it is easy enough to use and it does offer wireless operation, making it a decent choice for some consumers.

 Too many issues, not worth the price and felt cheaply madeApr 24, 2012
By C. Miller
"IdoNotes"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3PNWMED1C538R I was able to be highly disappointed. After seeing the pricing of this unit I am glad it was not a purchase. While the review I provide video goes into great detail I will summarize:
- The quality was cheap plastic for the casing. I did not like the locking mechanism for the battery compartment on the outside unit
- The outside unit came with a scratch on the screen while the inside had protective coating.
- There is no volume controls or battery indicator on the outside unit making it impossible to manage
- The inside unit functioned well and came with a base and charger
- However, the control menu on the base unit had the look of a 20 year old device with outdated technology
- The unit leads you to believe it sends constant streaming video. I was only able to find pictures taken y the camera, fuzzy at best. It also came with 3 pictures loaded on the device (I presume from testing?) of a guy in a shop
- The wireless frequency competes with many home phone systems and wireless access. Ba careful as interference did occur in our tests
- The range was not as expected. I know there are tons of variances, but I couldn't get it to full signal in the same room feet apart as the video shows
So I hope that summarized our video for you. We always try and do videos now showing the product, packaging and you can see our reactions.

 Works as it's Supposed toApr 06, 2012
By K. J. Hackett
My husband installed this and it took about a half a day for him to get the bracket in place. He's not very handy when it comes to this sort of thing, so I'm guessing a more skilled person could do it in a fraction of the time. However, once installed the product works as it's supposed to, though the video isn't not as clear as it could be. I don't know why, but I expected the same or almost the same clarity that I get on my iPhone, which also has a small screen.
Still, we can see who is at the door.
 it quit taking pictures of people at the door now all that shows up are pictures and quite creepy pictures at that of Chinese boJun 18, 2013
By becky
I am not happy with the whole package. not everyone stands in the perfect spot and are the perfect height to capture a good clear picture, and if they move, forget it! now every time someone rings it shows pictures of creepy looking Chinese boys.
Cheap, but can be usefulApr 23, 2013
By Karen S. Garvin
I wanted my husband to mount this to the doorframe but we ended up just keeping it loose, which I would say is one of its best features: you don't *have* to use it outside. It came in handy when my husband had dental surgery and fell asleep on the couch. I couldn't sit by him all day, so I put the camera next to the sofa so he could call me when he needed something. This could possibly be useful to parents with children playing outside, too, but I didn't test its range.
The camera works well enough but there's quite a noticeable lag time, which could be an issue if you have it outside and your visitors keep moving around. I would not consider this a good value for the money, and as others have noted, it feels quite cheap. Still, there are times when a built-in camera isn't desirable, and the fact that you can move this around easily is a plus.
There is no volume control and the "bell" is this horrid screech that sounds like something out of a horror movie. Even knowing this, I nearly jumped out of my chair when my husband pushed the bell to call me. For the price this should have a volume control, and maybe a choice of tones. At least put a pleasant chime on the thing!
If you don't want to install a high-end door intercom or you have a need to occasionally move the camera unit around, this could fit the bill. It works well enough to be useful, but the functionality is bare-bones. If you don't jump from electronic bleeps then you won't mind its squawking. I don't know if I'll get around to putting this outside, since I don't get a lot of visitors, but putting the camera unit in the basement and keeping the receiver in my upstairs office might be useful. However, I wasn't able to initiate calls from the receiver so this limits its usefulness for two-way communications.
