Default Doorbells... 18VDC in to 8VAC out?

Well there are two kinds of hassle, installation hassle and maintenance
hassle.

Wireless score excellently at the first but are dire for the second (in my
experience).

Wired transformer powered ones are excellent from the maintenance POV but
much more hassle from the installation POV.

Battery powered wired ones fall somewhere in the middle but the cheaper
ones have the huge advantage of having just one REAL ringtone and none of
this MP3 recorded crap. Just my opinion of course. ;-)
