The new Gigaset HC450 intercom offers real benefits to residents of single-family and duplex homes, as it allows them to speak to visitors using their cordless phone from anywhere within the house. Running to answer the front door is now a thing of the past, by simply pressing a button on a Gigaset cordless phone the door can be opened. With call forwarding all these functions can also be used remotely from a mobile phone, for example to let the cleaning lady in or to ask the postman to leave a package with a neighbor. The DECT wireless standard ensures a secure and stable connection to the intercom in the same way as it does to all cordless phones in the home.

The intercom is easy to install as it does not require any re-wiring. The Gigaset HC450 is connected to an existing power line (two-core). Automatic door openers can also be connected to the system. The user then registers the intercom with the telephone base in the same way that they would an additional Gigaset handset. Use of the DECT wireless standard ensure the same type of secure and stable connection between the base and the intercom that is enjoyed by all cordless phones in the home.

When the door bell rings, the Gigaset cordless phone indicates this with a specific tone that is different to the sound heard before normal phone calls and shows “Doorbell” on the display. Intercom users can speak with or open the door to callers at the touch of a button. If no one is home, the call can be forwarded to a mobile or fixed line phone. A spoken message then indicates that the call is from a visitor standing at the front door. The user can decide if they want to answer the front door by pressing a button. This means users have the choice of whether or not to speak to visitors at the door.
