I could have swore that I've already seen one that does have it... You can get existing X10 modules that'll sort of do this, and there's a couple others that claim to do this. I just haven't seen a VCR company that has the ability BUILT-IN. |

The Simon III alarm system uses something like this. You can let people in, control lights, set the alarm, etc. by phone. You simply call your home number, hang up, then call again within a certain number of seconds. The alarm answers and you type in your code. |
