Our verdict

An apartment voice intercom station that talks to visitors and releases the door through three push-and-hold buttons. It is only the station, and several other parts are needed to make a system.

Overview

Not a standalone intercom, this TekTone apartment station connects to TekTone entrance or vandal panels so residents can talk with visitors and unlock the door. Its three momentary buttons activate while held down.

The reason to buy is the simple push-and-hold operation with buttons labeled in text, symbols and Braille. The limitation is that it needs an entrance panel, an amplifier and a transformer, all sold separately.

Who it's for

Apartment buildings built around a TekTone entrance panel and amplifier. Single-unit buyers wanting an all-in-one set, or outdoor stations, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Braille and symbol labels
  • Flame retardant ABS faceplate
  • Five-wire connection for large systems
Cons
  • Needs separate panel, amplifier, transformer
  • Mounting plate sold separately

Performance notes

The five-wire connection supports operation across large buildings, and the three buttons work only while held down. Voice quality depends on the rest of the TekTone system.
