Need a cheapish wireless chime for when an office door opens

    Like the title says I work in an office and people are continuously refusing for some reason to ring the bell on the desk to get attention. I was thinking of getting a wireless door chime that would chime when the door was opened so I would know when someone was there. I googled it but got confused with all the options. I would be very appreciative of someone a bit more tech savvy then myself pointing me in the right direction. Much obliged.

    This might be a good place to start.

    Ya the office is fully alarmed. Ideally thou I just want a little chime to ring in one back room when the door opens. Like normally there is a receptionist full time. This would only be needed when she is doing post etc!

    Most alarm systems can have a zone set up for chime.
    This can be turned on/off when your receptionist is or not out front.
    What it does is activates the internal bell for a second to give an indication of the door opening.

    I would recommend it connected to a buzzer output rather than the internal bell. That would drive you mad. You could use the keypad buzzer or connect a small external buzzer to a panel output.
