Looking to update current system with the Bell BS4 Bellissimo 4 Station Video System 

[Eric]

Hello I am Eric who made the telephone enquiry earlier today. I have an existing Standard Panel Bell Intercom System, and would like to understand how to upgrade this Bell intercom system with the latest Bell BS4 Bellissimo 4 Station Video System?

Hi,

Can you assess the imagery I am attaching to this thread please? All I know is that it is a 4 station Bell Systems audio only intercom system which was installed in my family home in 1994. It has been very reliable but has encountered some handset and audio quality issues over the past 2 years. I would therefore like to know if the current Bell BS4 4 station video system you have online below can be able to be installed and effectively upgrade what I have described above?

Thank you,

My initial concern is that BT cable isnt ideal for Video but OK for audio.

Looking at your images it isnt cat5 cable.

You me be better with a 2 wire system depending on the ranges involved

I assume you have standard parallel audio (ie call is seperate but audio is common.

If your having issues on that cable with audio only video and audio is highly probably to be an issue

Hi again,

Based on your last responses above, what audio video intercom systems work on a 2 wire system? I suspect I also have a cross wire on my main Bell system outside front door panel and that is currently causing 2 handsets to buzz into them jointly. As for audio it may be what you are suggesting but it also seems like the main panel's audio speaker is a bit defective.

Thank you,

Eric

upgrading equipment wont help if you have fundamental wiring issues

 

Most 2 wire stuff has a 50m limit depending on cable

I don't have a fundamental wiring issue. Where in what I have said over the past 5 days have I confirmed a wiring issue? My question was can I upgrade what I have, and whoever is responding to my questions and responses has gradually decided that I have fundamental wiring issue?  I will request that this ticket enquiry is closed as I have gained nothing but delay and ultimately time wasted on my question even when I took the effort to illustrate the system I currently use which is working with some minor faults after 28 years..
