In terms of costs, you can expect to pay around 200 EUR (about 220 USD) and up if you want something decent. There are also very cheap options for 20 EUR (about 22 USD) with Italian manuals and very basic workmanship. But they do work. I also have one for 20 EUR from eBay, and luckily I have an Italian electrician who installed it for me.
However, an electrician can handle it without a manual anyway, so that’s not a big issue. What exactly are you looking for? How many doorbells and intercom units?
Best regards
Bob

Hello Florian,
You can install the intercom system yourself. For 150-200 € (approximately 160-215 USD), you can already get very good devices with everything included. In the past, these systems were very expensive, but today you can find basic ones for about 30 € (around 32 USD).

Hi,
if you don’t want to spend too much, I recommend doing a thorough price comparison. Sometimes you can get the system at a different store up to 50% cheaper than at the previous one. I would also research online, as you can definitely save some money there. But be careful: if you order online, always pay attention to the shipping costs, because what’s the use of a system if the shipping is more expensive than the entire item?

Maier GmbH2 Oct 2008 23:23I am also interested in this topic, especially the installation of the wiring...
I mean, for a layperson, this is certainly not easy to do, right? Just installing the system next to the doorbell, and then routing the wiring inside... Depending on where the handset should be located, that is, how far from the system...

Are you planning to do this in a new build or retrofit it later? If the front door system or doorbell system (chime) is already installed, you should first check whether an electric door striker is already integrated into the front door. If not, retrofitting it can be quite complex.
Laying the thin doorbell wires (e.g., telephone cable, also used for the intercom system) is relatively easy. You can run the cables in wall chases or conduit and secure them to the terminals by screwing or clamping.
