One easy way to do this might be to use a simple camera from Maplin etc. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=115222 Plug it in to the inputs of their TV and they can then access that channel through their EC system, which presumably already has an intercom and door release. Other cameras include audio, but I doubt it would be two way.

Also I wonder why the Environmental Control companies don't have a video door entry system. I think it would be a useful item for many clients.

I am working with a group of people with learning disabilities, living in 7 flats who would like to be able to: - see on a stand alone monitor who is at their front door - talk to the person at the door - release the door lock from their flat There are so many out there it is a mine field!
