Hello everyone,
I would like to install a mailbox with a doorbell and intercom at the entrance to our property, but I really don’t want to run any cables out there. My requirements are:
The distance in a straight line between the intercom and the FritzBox is about 35 m (115 feet), but the cabling route would be around 100 m (330 feet).
The second-best option would be to only run power there, moving the “doorbell mailbox” to the opposite side of the street, where it is somewhat less convenient.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

- 3 doorbell buttons
- DECT connection for the intercom linked to the FritzBox
- local power supply (battery + solar panel)
The distance in a straight line between the intercom and the FritzBox is about 35 m (115 feet), but the cabling route would be around 100 m (330 feet).
The second-best option would be to only run power there, moving the “doorbell mailbox” to the opposite side of the street, where it is somewhat less convenient.

It’s unclear whether we will actually install an intercom system at the driveway.Funny anecdote about this: I once programmed a whole neighborhood of houses including very expensive video intercom systems. The units were mounted on very stylish concrete pillars at the property line facing the street. However, without exception, every guest just rings the doorbell and then walks to the front door about 5 meters (16 feet) away. Rumor has it, no one has ever been seen on the cameras. But the architect is still completely convinced it works.
