I need help but know nothing about walkie talkies.
My work requires me to test an item. That item causes an audible alarm in a room on the other side of the building. So, I test the item and need to run to the other room to hear the alarm then run back to the item, test it once again and then run back to the room again. I do this about 2 dozen times per day and would like to cut down on the back and forth.
I tried zip tying the walkie talkies that my kids have but they turn off after 10 seconds. They were a cheap set anyway.
I basically am looking to use walkie talkies similar to how a baby monitor works. Are there ones that I could place one in the alarm room and have it as always "talking" and open, while the other one, on my person, is always listening? Then, when I do my test and the alarm rings, I would just hear it on my walkie talkie instead of having to run back and forth?
I know nothing about these. The picture below is last pair of walkie talkies I used (they were super amazing too)
Any suggestions? Bonus points if its something I can get from Amazon.
Edit: I'm not allowed to have my phone in the "item" area so cell phones are a no go.
