works very well, better then expected

Unit works, it does the job,The picture is not HD, andPicks up glare from porchLight, as the other unit priorDid not, for the price and just a basic view, it works. the nightVision is non existent, I put upA solar light to compensate.

This product does what it says it does and I am happy with it. It does NOT have any type of internet compatibility. It does NOT have a phone app to see through your phone. It does NOT record video. It does not claim to do any of these things so I don’t know why people get this and are surprised that it doesn’t have these functions. It’s only meant to help you see outside without opening the door or using a crappy glass peephole. It also has a built in doorbell so that’s cool. It does take pictures. Has night vision and has a rechargeable battery. Plain and simple. If you want all the fancy features quit being cheap and go get a RING doorbell.

This is a very good basic peephole video door viewer. It took less than 10 minutes to install because I had an existing peephole. The video quality or view is excellent. The door chime is loud enough to be heard throughout the apartment at the lowest of 3 settings. The exterior unit does not appear out of place and looks natural on the door. There is a battery indicator so you will know when to replace them.Complaints: could have a little wider angle on the viewer. There is a speaker on the unit but it is not clear how you use it (A talk feature was not advertised), and is unnecessary.Overall I would recommend this for anyone looking for a door viewer. I think its very good value.

This item was ever so easy to install. It shows a wide angle view that is very clear. I would recommend this item to all that are looking for security items. I think it would be great for apartment dwellers as you really can't see much after dark and it does not have night vision. However this item works just as described.

It worked fine for a week or so, but then the screen went blank. I put in fresh batteries, and it worked, but it had a green and blue haze around the edges of everything in view. I sent an email to the seller asking for advice, but received no response. A few weeks later I sent another email, and again received no help at all. I understand that any product is susceptible to defects or failures, but I can't understand a company that won't offer advice, assistance with troubleshooting, or even simple acknowledgement of the customers issue. This is only the second company that I've dealt with where I asked for customer support but never received it, so I guess I'm ahead of the game. But it says a lot when a company won't stand behind their product.

I can see well through it, day or night. Easily assembled and well worth the money. Can hear the chimes sound when the doorbell is pushed throughout home. I believe that the camera works, but haven't had to use it. Would definitely purchase it again.

This review is for Digital Door Peephole Viewer, made in China. This review is a bit long and detailed so bear with me.I got this in Dec 2018 and installed two weeks after arrival. Here are some helpful dimensions:My door was 1.75” thick (45mm). My door was made from aluminum sheet on both sides, with an internal soft core which appeared to be some plastic Styrofoam like filler.The product comes with three different length screws. I used the shortest one. The two longer screws which I did not need (for thicker doors) are 2.5” and 3-5/16 “ long. So in theory if your door is between 1.5” and 3.5” you will be OK.The inserted shaft of the camera diameter is 14.3mm (so a 15mm hole diameter is needed).You need to drill a 15mm hole in your door. You can use a 5/8” size drill, but I prefer to be exact and drill metric. Choose the height carefully to see the visitors face and a little bit of the shoulders. Aim for short people, because there will be kids at your door. The view range is not great and it is not adjustable.Drilling your door must be done with the following considerations:1. Door sheet metal appears to tear easily, so the hole might be ugly, if you are not careful. Use a SAW HOLE CUTTER2. Remember that gap is not good. Bugs may come in, water may leak inside the door, or AC air or heat might escape.3. Using a bit of Silicone sealant inside hole may be useful. If your door is not exposed to rain or snow, you can skip this step.For drilling do not use a regular drill bit. Use a SAW HOLE CUTTER. They are available at ACE hardware (special order, arrives in one week, price about 8 dollars) or order from Amazon. Examine the picture of the saw hole drill to ensure that it can travel through 2” thick door. Most saw hole drill bits are too short, about 1.5” (about 38mm). This means, you will need to drill from both sides of the door.Choose the location for seeing the face of a 5ft tall person (my opinion) at the door. This way, you may be able to see the top of the head of small kids, and you can still see the chin of 6ft+ person.REMEMBER, THE CAMERA DOES NOT PAN UP OR DOWN, ONLY ZOOM FUNCTION IS AVAILABLE.Place a mat under the door to trap the debris falling from the drill bit.After you choose the location, using a regular drill 5/32” or 11/64” to drill through the door. This is the pilot hole used for guiding the 15mm hole saw drill at the next step. NOTE IF YOUR DOOR IS THICKER THAN 2” (50mm) you will need to buy a long regular drill from Ace Hardware. Most drill bits are shorter than 2” and will not reach to the other side of the door. After you drillNext step, drill the door using the HOLE SAW drill, following the guide hole you created in the first step. MAKE SURE YOU HOLD THE DRILL PERPENDICULAR TO THE DOOR, otherwise you will ruin the hole. The soft core inside the door does not guide the pilot drill well. A solid wood door would guide better.After the hole saw drill reaches the end of its reach from the initial side, go to the other side of the door and drill from the pilot hole. Again make sure the drill is perpendicular to the door. Test by inserting the camera into the hole and ensure it fits in the hole.Next, place some silicone sealant inside the hole and the slide the outside unit into the hole. Place the mount plate on the opposite (inside) side of the door, and tighten with screw. The camera ribbon goes through the little rectangular window in the mount plate. WARNING: Adhesive bonds instantly. Once the mount plate is stuck on the door, you cannot re-position.Tighten the mount plate with the suitable length long screw. Do not overtighten, you can damage the camera unit.Power requires 4 AA batteries. We are using re-chargeable ones to save the planet. The unit does NOT come with a wall adapter, but I had a 5V 0.5A (500mA) adapter with a 3.74mm round barrel that worked perfectly. If you can find a way to route the cable around the door hinges, you do not need to use batteries. AC adapter will work perfectly.ProsI love the option of commonly available AA batteries. I hate custom batteries.I love the option of AC adapter, and not using batteries at allInstallation was very easy and fast, one you have all your tools ready.One someone presses the doorbell, the JPG image is stored automatically in the SD card which comes with the unit. You review and delete the recorded image.ConsImages attached show the problem. Doorway is always shaded and the background is always bright. The image quality is pretty bad. The faces are barely visible and this is a big problem if a stranger knocks and you want to capture a good image.When I took out the SD card, to extract some images, it was pretty difficult to reinsert the SD card. My suggestion, is do not take out the SD card often. The SD card holder seems a bit flimsy and may break easily. It requires too much insertion force, and this may be a problem. I was afraid of damaging the SD card recorder.You cannot extract images from the unit via any cable connection. The only way to extract recorded images or video records is to physically remove the SD card and read it on another PC.My recommendation is, if you take out the card, make sure you extract and store all images on your PC, because when you re-insert the card you may lose all recorded files.At this point I have no data how long it will last. If it lasts less than one year, I will change my review and record duration.
