Doorbell Buying Guide

Connect a door phone to your phone system. When someone presses the button, it rings your team. You can talk back from any phone or the Webex app.

The short answer

Simple setup: AudioCodes MP-112 + Algo 3228.
Multiple doors: Upgrade to MP-114 for four ports.
Own device: SIP registration available.
ATA through Vocatech: Ships configured.

Recommended setup

Two pieces. The AudioCodes gateway connects to your network and gives you analog ports. The Algo door phone plugs into one of those ports with a simple wire run. When someone presses the call button, it rings a group you choose. You can also call the door phone from any extension for a two-way conversation. Buy the gateway through Vocatech and it ships ready to go.

Recommended door phone

Algo 3228 Station Port Door Phone

Algo 3228

Two-way audio at any entrance. Press the button, it rings your team.

Best for: Front doors, side entrances, gates, loading docks, or any spot where visitors need to reach someone inside.

Plugs into the AudioCodes ATA with standard wiring up to 1,000 feet. Stainless steel faceplate, outdoor rated, backlit call button. Built-in relay for door strikes and gates. Analog connection, so it always works and never breaks.

Bring your own device

If your installer has a preferred door phone or intercom, we can provide SIP registration through a third-party service. That service has documentation for popular devices from major manufacturers. Your installer configures the device using their documentation. When someone presses the button, it calls a number that routes to whatever group you set up. We also assign an extension so you can call out to the device from any phone.

This is a good option for shared buildings, multi-tenant setups, access-controlled entrances, or any situation where the installer already knows which hardware they want. Contact us and we will set up the registration credentials.

What we configure and what we do not

We configure the AudioCodes gateway and the phone system routing. We do not configure third-party SIP devices. If you bring your own device, your installer handles the device setup using the third-party documentation we provide. The Algo 3228 with our configured gateway is the only combination we support end to end.
