Has anyone found a good wayt o do a gate intercom using Asterisk? I am looking at a Xorcom PBX with programmable contact, so I have no issue with opening the gate, but the interface at the gate is a bit tricky. I thought about a weather proof housing containing a phone but it seems a bit tacky. I also looked at a handsfree erather proof phone, but at $600 it is a bit steep. Any solutions that have been implemented successfully? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
There are various ways of doing this. You could use an analogue port/ATA and connect any good old fashioned intercom to it (Pantel are a good make). You can now get SIP intercom systems as well. I haven't tried on of these - but they look good (and can contain a camera as well if needed).
