Two-way audio is more gimmicky than reality. It is much more like a walkie-talkie push button and talk and release button type action and it can have a several second lag.

Certainly not the best to have a conversation - more like yelling "get the f off my lawn" LOL.

A doorbell camera is a much better choice to have a conversation like experience.
Good to know. Just thought it would be nice to yell at the kids, the dog, or anyone else to get the F off my lawn! Haha

Make a couple short test cables, like six foot, and check them out on your test bench. It is good practice for the longer runs.

It also gets easier after you make a few cables, there is a slight learning curve.

Use the "B" standard also. You will find A and B standard diagrams on the Klein tool.

Thanks for the information. I'll will be checking all of this stuff when I get all the equipment here.
