Step 1
Evaluate your home for rooms in which you think a wireless intercom would be useful. If your home is currently under construction, walk through the blueprint with your designer or building consultant to decide where stations should go.
-
Step 2
Measure the size of and the distance between each room. This will help you decide how many intercoms you'll need. You might place them in only a few select rooms--such as the nursery--and then place general intercoms in the halls on each floor and the basement.
-
Step 3
Outside intercoms next to every door will let you identify visitors before opening your homes to them.
-
Step 4
If you have a yard in which children play, consider an intercom on a nearby wall or structure such as your garage. Make sure you can open the intercom from your end so you can listen without anyone activating the outside intercom.
-
Step 5
If you work at home in a den or an office, an intercom is a necessity, something that will limit the number of interruptions you encounter during the day.
-
Step 6
Consider installing a full-scale security system in conjunction with your wireless intercom. Often all-in-one systems are less expensive than the individual elements.
-
Step 7
Consider options like a video component, music broadcasting and privacy locks.
-
Step 8
Visit local home improvement stores, electrical supply dealers and Web sites to find systems that are compatible with your home and needs.
