By Interphone I mean the door phone. I think, "Interphone" is used in french and in german it is called "Türsprechanlage". But I like the idea of using the SIP Protocol, because I can redirect the doorphone to any places of this planet. Even if I am not at home, I can see people ringing ar the door > As for your environmental requirements: does it have to operate > at -40, or just survive it for a few hours before warming back > up? Very few electronic devices are guaranteed to work below 0C. -40°C is very rare but it has to survive. Normal estonian winter temperatures are between -15°C and -25°C. So, the doorphone/interphone should work in this range. > I would suggest building a small insulated box to hold your > electronics, along with an incandescent lightbulb to provide > both light and heat. > > For general voice use, I like the Polycom IP3xx series.
