Is there an intercom system built in and, if so, how far apart has anyone used it? I'm wondering it it will work with one in a workshop 250+ ft away

There is, I have used it from the 2nd floor of our townhouse to the basement. I don't think you will have an issue.

There is an intercom built in. It's a menu option requiring the pressing of keys 5 times to reach the option. I've never used it so don't know the range.

Sorry, I've never used intercom. My home is small, 1800 sq ft, so haven't had a need.

There is an outdor unit available on Amazon that works with the intercomms and may serve your needs, but you would either need to find a way to safely power it if it would be exposed to rain or just remember to keep good batteries in it.

On the setup I have, transmitter and receiver are separated by approximately 17 feet with a wall of concrete in the middle and both image and sound work perfectly with no issues at all...I have no idea if it can reach the distance you need - it seems too far as they are not designed for long distances...hope my comment helps.

I've never been able to do it and if it could, the range would be about thirty feet. 3M makes a specific headset that is designed to talk between headsets. It's normally used by airport ground personnel. The one designed for headset to headset communication has about a 150 foot range.

I have three units. Two of them are in the house, the 3rd in my office above a detached garage. Two most distant unit are about 150' apart ... works great for two/three way communication.

I do not know about that distance. When I tried to put mine in ANY two different rooms in my house they would not work. The ONLY way I could get them to work in any way was to put them in the same room so they were on the same circuit. They wouldn't even work if they were in 2 rooms that were on the same breaker, so my best bet is they will not work for you. I cannot seem to find any intercoms at all anymore that don't work this exact same way, making them useless. My advice, save your money and do not waste your time with these.

Yes, this system has an intercom feature. Full details can be found in the below link. ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/telephone/om/kx-tg9541_kx-tg9542_om.pdf#page=31

A power line intercom will give intercom service over the same power line. IE within your house, between floors etc. But if you have an outbuilding that has its own electrical service it would not work as it is on another power circuit. Or it will not work from your house or aprtament to your neighbors.

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

we just moved into a bigger house as well and I love these intercoms. although at times we pick up different conversations from other frequencies, its not often. purchase with confidence you won't be disappointed. its worth the money to save a marriage and chaotic household like mines. hopes this helps.

The answer to your question has some questions that need to be answered first. If you have line of sight, and the noise floor is above 90 sure. You can use a Pico2 HP and do a sight survey and see what the noise floor is like. Even if you don't have line of sight it is possible to make it work and just 200 feet. Using a Pico HP2 as an AP and NanoM2 as the client should create a good link.

the farthest i have set up from the caller was about 30 yards. i havnt tested how far out it will reach. at the distance i set it at it does need direct line of sight from the remote to the caller or the caller wont respond to the commands.

The good and bad is that background noise is filtered out, but if a person is speaking from 8-10 feet it doesn't pick up well - I would say 4-5 feet away is the best distance. We have a polycom also for outside line calls and I would say it is a similar response. If the conf room is quite where background noise doesn't exist, it may do better.

We have a set up where I'm down in my basement office and my wife is upstairs on the main floor in her office. We use the intercoms with no problems. So far they have worked just great.
