Client Evaluations


The Cannon Peephole viewer is a nifty device. It delivers a fairly clear picture of the other side of your door, devoid of having to open it, delivering it to a tiny digital screen that you mount on the inside of your door.
=-=-=- Benefits over a normal peephole =-=-=-=
Basically, it shows you what you would see by means of a peephole on the little screen but this has a number of positive aspects
1) Alot more than a single individual can appear at the Cannon viewer at once, so you can compare notes on who it may possibly be or if you ought to let them in
2) If the person at the door is suspicious, you can very easily use your telephone cam to take a image of the image on the screen for use later, if needed
three) Way more comfortable to watch for an extended period
4) A reverse peephole viewer is useless against this device.
5) A lot easier for youngsters than seeking through a peephole
What would make this a genuinely killer device would be if it has potential to interface with other devices, for example, if I could appear out my peephole when I am down in the basement. Also, nightvision would be an terrific addition. But this device wasn't designed for that and I don't subtract anything for those .
Nonetheless, the image top quality on the viewer I got is a bit grainy, possibly it is for the reason that I have mainly implemented it in lower light with just a porch light.
=-=-=-= Installation =-=-=-=
As far as installation, it took me about 30 minutes. I suspect it could have gone quicker, but for some deficiencies in the documentation. Possibly it was just me, but it wasn't that clear in the directions that you had to eliminate the plate initial, and the diagrams and figures did not show clearly how the viewer attaches to the door. Again, your mileage could vary, but it seemed like it could have been made clearer with a superior diagram.
Also, the instructions had been certainly incorrect as far as camera orientation. I had to turn the camera component until the red arrow was pointed nearly 180 degrees in the other path indicated in the instructions, which signifies now it is not seriously that tight in the door. When I have a few minutes, I will likely take it out and re-seat it.
Another issue I had with the directions is that my door was a little thicker, so the plate would not adequately align to the back of the camera piece until I began to screw on the base. That just created me a little confused on if possibly had the alignment of the door plate incorrect, considering the fact that the figure showing how the plate attaches to the door is not that wonderful to start with.
Nonetheless I am pleased with the device. Already I have been able to use the device to show somebody at the door to my children. So whilst I have kept my old peephole just in case, I consider the Cannon Peephole Viewer is a definite keeper.

To install this Cannon Peephole Door Viewer, the hardest element is to drill a hole by way of the door the rest is very uncomplicated. You need to have a power drill and a 9/16" drill bit and you really should be able to drill the hole straight via the door, not at an angle. Metal doors might present additional challenge. The camera unit will fit doors from 1.57" to 2.76" thick. When the hole is drilled, installing this peephole door viewer is a breeze.
Typically, this is what you do: Undo the two small bolts at the bottom of the LCD unit and eliminate the metal mounting plate at the back. That exposed the battery compartment and the camera mini-plug socket. Install the 4 AA batteries included. Unscrew the locking barrel of the camera unit. Insert the camera from the outside through the door and the center hole of the mounting plate, producing certain that the lens is facing outward and the red arrow on the protective film on the lens is pointing up. Orient the mounting plate such that the white gasket is against the door and the "UP arrow" is pointing up. Screw on the locking barrel of the camera unit to secure the camera and mounting plate on the door. There are 3 screw holes on the mounting plate for extra screws (included) to hold the plate securely on the door. Insert the mini-plug of the camera into the socket of the LCD unit. There is a warning message attached to it relating to the correct way and the wrong way to insert the mini-plug. It is important that you push the mini-plug all the way into the socket. Failure to do so may well short out the camera, according to a spokesman of the seller. Secure the LCD unit onto the mounting plate with the two locking bolts and the peephole door viewer is operational.
Push the ON-OFF button on the viewer and LCD screen displays a image for ten seconds. Contrary to the old style peep-glass, the whole family can see who is at the door at the same time with this Cannon Peephole Door Viewer. Height differences among loved ones members no longer matter even a compact kid can use the viewer as lengthy as he can reach the ON-OFF button. These are significant considerations. In addition, even amongst adults, it is a significantly more elegant way to peep by observing an LCD screen than pressing an eye against a peep-glass and a cheek flat against the door. The excellent of the picture is acceptable in complete daylight but becomes grainy in a low light situation. I have a situation with the duration of the image. It is too brief. If a stranger is at the door and I do not wish to talk to him, I would like to remain quietly behind the door and watch him leave. Ten seconds is just too short for that. I wish that the button is set up in a way that I can pick 10, 30, or 60 second duration. Nevertheless, this Cannon Peephole Door Viewer is a neat safety product worthy of consideration.
