The visitor should not be able to choose when you speak. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Weatherproof door station at the gate. - Connect to the gate motor's trigger to open it. - Cable is most reliable; GSM for long distances. Quick answer A gate intercom puts a weatherproof door station at the gate and an indoor monitor in the house, and connects to the gate motor or electric lock so you can open it remotely. The main decision is how to link the gate to the house: cable (most reliable), Wi-Fi if coverage reaches, or GSM if the gate is far away.
