im looking for a doorbell that meets the following criteria:

- wireless buttons. I want the main unit (the ringer part, the receiver) to
plug into an outlet and not use batteries. i know some systems are
compeltely wireless this is not what i want. i dont want to have to replace
batteries in a unit in an area i already have power to. of course the
buttons will need batteries...

- two buttons with seperate ring for each button (back and front door).

- some of the wireless doorbells ive seen have hidious buttons. im not
asking for much, just a tiny bit of style and not some bulky white plastic
box with a white plastic button.

- has an actual chime. not a digital recording of a chime, not some pac man
sound, and not mozart. i want there to be some piece of metal in there that
is struck by something and sounds real nice. ding for one button, ding dong
for the other.

- is under 100 bucks.

ive found a few that meet some of my criteria, and none that meet all...

any suggestions?

thx

You might want to buy your own separate buttons and wire them to
individual transmitter modules (Check alarm supply vendors and/or
garage door remote suppliers). If you can keep the transmitter unit
battery indoors, you will have fewer problems over all.

Here is one representative company:

Even if your receiver requires batteries, you should be able to
replace those with an AC power supply (wall wart transformer-power
supply). Check the voltage 9, 12, and 24 volts are common. Also
check polarity for DC units - for AC it doesn't matter. If you
don't buy the cheapest consumer unit, it is likely to include an AC
power supply for the receiver.
