Bell + Howell 8553 2.4 GHz Wireless Video Door Intercom System product review
Tags :Bell + Howell wireless video intercom gadget
At Spiked Studio we were sent the Bell + Howell 8553 2.4 GHz Wireless Video Door Intercom System for product review. Above is the video and below is the summary.
From the Amazon page:
I was able to be highly disappointed. After seeing the pricing of this unit I am glad it was not a purchase. While the review I provide video goes into great detail I will summarize:
- The quality was cheap plastic for the casing. I did not like the locking mechanism for the battery compartment on the outside unit
- The outside unit came with a scratch on the screen while the inside had protective coating.
- There is no volume controls or battery indicator on the outside unit making it impossible to manage
- The inside unit functioned well and came with a base and charger
- However, the control menu on the base unit had the look of a 20 year old device with outdated technology
- The unit leads you to believe it sends constant streaming video. I was only able to find pictures taken y the camera, fuzzy at best. It also came with 3 pictures loaded on the device (I presume from testing?) of a guy in a shop
- The wireless frequency competes with many home phone systems and wireless access. Be careful as interference did occur in our tests
- The range was not as expected. I know there are tons of variances, but I couldn't get it to full signal in the same room feet apart as the video shows
So I hope that summarized our video for you. We always try and do videos now showing the product, packaging and you can see our reactions
So if you are still intrested in the ~$230.00 equipment you can visit the product page for the Bell + Howell 8553 2.4 GHz Wireless Video Door Intercom System.
