Even though it might fit (no guarantee from my side though), the version made for Loxone is a bit downgraded (no Relais, no EasyLAN), and the price for intercom from Baudisch is even higher (and please note they advertise prices without VAT). Now for people like me, who have already invested into (and mounted) the flush box for Loxone’s intercom, the logical step would be checking if the device dimensions are compatible and go with the Intercom from Baudisch. For some reason, Loxone is not offering this improved version. And then you’ll find out that they are also offering upgraded version with improved camera as Compact Classic AHD that comes with HDTV 720p picture quality, H.264 and MJPEG streams available parallel and Onvif support. You can find close similarity with their Compact Classic 1T intercom. Maybe it is not that widely known, but Intercom branded as Loxone is actually being produced by German company called Baudish. Anyway, the camera chip in this device is obsolete and as a result the image quality of the Loxone intercom is very basic. However, most of the IP cameras on the market are offering two streams where each can be set for different resolution and quality, if nothing else. I understand that when accessing video stream from remote network some bandwidth limitations came into play.

Additional features (motion sensor, RFID).Camera image quality / image resolution.Key attributes that made this mindset change happen were: Several researches and specs comparisons discovered that I would get better value elsewhere for less or similar money. In the meantime, a lot of other brands were launching interesting intercom products and I started to realize that my dream product no longer keeps up with its competitors, still holding the high pricing level. Time passed and the original metal plate covering my rectangular in-wall box opening for intercom irritated me more and more.
