Hello everyone,
I am currently considering which video door entry system to buy for our single-family house on a hillside.
I find the video feature very useful since our living and dining area is located in the basement, so you don’t have to go upstairs every time the doorbell rings.
There are many versions on the market, and unfortunately, they vary significantly in price.
Do you have any recommendations on which ones to buy?
What do you think about this one?

Has anyone installed the AV-2DI-01 system from GOLIATH? The numerous features and the comparatively affordable price compared to Gira make me curious. Unfortunately, I can’t find any detailed tests or user reviews online.

I’ve also seen the Doorbird. The problem with that device is that the IP traffic doesn’t stay local within your home network but goes through Doorbird’s servers. In other words, if someone hacks their servers (and yes, they can be hacked just like any other!!) someone could open every front door connected to a Doorbird worldwide at the push of a button. That’s a complete no-go and absolutely unacceptable!This is something I’ve been thinking about lately as well.
Wouldn’t it be possible something like this:
At home: Doorbird + indoor chime + button for speaking only
On the go: Doorbird sends video to your phone via an app + speak only
In other words, just don’t wire the Doorbird to the door release. That way you can speak from both home and away, but the vulnerability where “pushing a button opens the door” doesn’t exist.
Considering how expensive a Siedle intercom set from the past is, I’d definitely prefer a more modern solution — but without compromising security.
Good luck!
Hi,
Well, 950 bucks for an intercom system WITHOUT keyless entry isn’t exactly cheap...
Apparently, they don’t even offer fingerprint recognition?!

There is also the system available with smaller screens. In that case, the price is around €550.
I actually want to set up the fingerprint reader independently from the intercom system.
I can’t find anything comparable from other manufacturers at this price.
- Two screens
- Saves images of visitors after they ring
- Can be operated via an app
Do you have any good recommendations for which device to use?
Regards,
André

Hi Andre,
After some research, I decided to avoid any kind of "IP doorbells" entirely. This is mainly due to the unpredictable security risks.
The moment the front door system is connected to the internet, it becomes vulnerable to attacks from anywhere in the world.
A conventional two-wire system, if installed correctly, can only be tampered with at the circuit breaker panel. But to do that, you would already have to be inside the house.
Therefore, we are now using a standard Gira intercom system with a keyless entry module.
A camera can still be added separately later, but it should not be connected to the door opening function.
Best regards,
Andreas

Simply because of the hardly predictable security issues. That’s why I use separate networks with a firewall between them. And before someone hacks your network from outside, they will probably prefer to just break a window.
But I agree with you, for an average user who can’t set it up properly, the security issues are definitely hard to recognize.
