Was in Wal Mart today and decided to pick up an official "HR.Com Security System and Intercom" - or as some people call it, a Baby Monitor.
As my wife and I talked it over we figured why not get two of them (they were only $17) so we could set them up as a two-way intercom as well as a security system. Our garage is about 100 feet from the house and she gets tired of coming out to yell or walking up the hill to get me when there is a phone call, meal, or other need to get my attention. I'll get them installed tomorrow and let you know how they work. We'll leave the unit from the garage to the house on at night as an alarm. We will also leave both receiver units on at all times. Then during the day we can turn the sending units on or off as we need them to communicate from the garage to the house or visa versa. (Now all we need to do is repackage these things with the HR.Com logo on them and sell them at all the car shows.) Hey, the Radio Shack intercom alone is like $25 - and it doesn't work very well. With the HR.Com unit - you also get a $600 security system. Can't beat that for $34.
