The life prin­ci­ple “My home is my fortress” requires reli­able con­trol over the entrance to the per­son­al citadel. And it is desir­able to know in advance what is hap­pen­ing behind the door before you open it. That’s what peep­holes are for. Until recent­ly, they were opti­cal, in the cloudy glass one could only see the sil­hou­ette of the vis­i­tor, and then only if the light was on in the entrance.

In many thrillers, crim­i­nals shoot through a peep­hole that lit up and then went out. This means that the ten­ant went out into the hall­way, turned on the light and clung to the eye­piece. But tech­no­log­i­cal progress does not stand still — video eyes have made work­ing with them easy and safe.

The image appears on the mon­i­tor dis­play after press­ing the inter­nal but­ton and turns off after 15 sec­onds to save bat­tery pow­er. The body of the peep­hole is met­al anti-van­dal.

The video peep­hole is installed in the hole intend­ed for the opti­cal peep­hole. A col­or mon­i­tor is mount­ed on the back of the door, where you can see every­thing that hap­pens on the land­ing. The device is quite easy to use and afford­able.

Characteristics

Pros and cons

Video eyes with additional features (recording, motion sensor, IR illumination)

For video eyes with advanced func­tion­al­i­ty, the image is cap­tured on the SD card as a pho­to or video when the inter­nal but­ton is pressed. When the built-in motion sen­sor is trig­gered, record­ing occurs auto­mat­i­cal­ly when motion is detect­ed in front of the door. The rest of the time, the device is in stand­by mode, so the device’s mem­o­ry is not filled with unnec­es­sary images. Infrared LEDs make the space in front of the eye vis­i­ble even in com­plete dark­ness.

1. Navigator NDB-V-DC01-1V1-WH

The video peep­hole, com­bined with the door­bell, gives a sound sig­nal when the exter­nal but­ton is pressed and, at the same time, pho­tographs the caller. The sit­u­a­tion out­side the door can be seen and filmed with­out a call by press­ing the but­ton inside the room. The sound is repro­duced by a high-qual­i­ty speak­er, and the inter­nal mem­o­ry can accom­mo­date up to 250 pho­tos.

Noth­ing is hid­den from the wide-angle lens of this video eye. A pow­er­ful infrared illu­mi­na­tor will show every­thing even in com­plete dark­ness. Pho­to and video record­ing are acti­vat­ed when the bell is pressed, and if the built-in motion sen­sor is acti­vat­ed, then imme­di­ate­ly upon detec­tion of changes in space at a dis­tance of two meters from the door. It is pos­si­ble to oper­ate the peep­hole in video sur­veil­lance mode, like a con­ven­tion­al video cam­era. The image is auto­mat­i­cal­ly writ­ten to the SD card. Dig­i­tal zoom changes the scale of the image on the screen.

Characteristics
