Customer Critiques


The Cannon Peephole viewer is a nifty device. It delivers a pretty clear picture of the other side of your door, with out having to open it, delivering it to a smaller digital screen that you mount on the inside of your door.
=-=-=- Positive aspects over a regular peephole =-=-=-=
Generally, it shows you what you would see by means of a peephole on the modest screen but this has several benefits
1) Much more than a single individual can appear at the Cannon viewer at once, so you can compare notes on who it might possibly be or if you really should let them in
two) If the individual at the door is suspicious, you can very easily use your phone cam to take a image of the image on the screen for use later, if necessary
3) Significantly more comfy to watch for an extended period
four) A reverse peephole viewer is useless against this device.
5) Easier for kids than hunting via a peephole
What would make this a certainly killer device would be if it has ability 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 superb addition. But this device wasn't created for that and I do not subtract something for those .
Yet, the picture high quality on the viewer I got is a bit grainy, probably it is simply because I have largely made use of 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 more rapidly, but for some deficiencies in the documentation. Maybe it was just me, but it wasn't that clear in the instructions that you had to get rid of the plate very first, and the diagrams and figures did not show clearly how the viewer attaches to the door. Once again, your mileage can vary, but it seemed like it could have been created clearer with a superior diagram.
Also, the instructions were absolutely incorrect as far as camera orientation. I had to turn the camera component until the red arrow was pointed almost 180 degrees in the other path indicated in the instructions, which implies now it is not certainly that tight in the door. When I have a few minutes, I will likely take it out and re-seat it.
A further issue I had with the instructions is that my door was a tiny thicker, so the plate would not properly align to the back of the camera piece till I started to screw on the base. That just created me a little confused on if perhaps had the alignment of the door plate incorrect, because the figure showing how the plate attaches to the door is not that amazing to start with.
Nonetheless I am pleased with the device. Currently I have been in a position to use the device to show an individual at the door to my kids. So though 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 component is to drill a hole via the door the rest is very painless. You desire a power drill and a 9/16" drill bit and you need to be able to drill the hole straight via the door, not at an angle. Metal doors may possibly present extra 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.
Generally, this is what you do: Undo the two tiny bolts at the bottom of the LCD unit and take away the metal mounting plate at the back. That exposed the battery compartment and the camera mini-plug socket. Install the four AA batteries included. Unscrew the locking barrel of the camera unit. Insert the camera from the outside by way of the door and the center hole of the mounting plate, making positive 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 further 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 ideal way and the wrong way to insert the mini-plug. It is very important that you push the mini-plug all the way into the socket. Failure to do so may very well brief 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 loved ones can see who is at the door at the exact same time with this Cannon Peephole Door Viewer. Height differences among loved ones members no longer matter even a tiny kid can use the viewer as lengthy as he can reach the ON-OFF button. These are significant considerations. Additionally, even amongst adults, it is a extra sophisticated way to peep by observing an LCD screen than pressing an eye against a peep-glass and a cheek flat against the door. The good quality of the image is acceptable in complete daylight but becomes grainy in a low light scenario. I have a trouble with the duration of the picture. It is as well short. If a stranger is at the door and I do not wish to speak to him, I would like to keep quietly behind the door and watch him leave. Ten seconds is just as well brief for that. I wish that the button is set up in a way that I can select ten, 30, or 60 second duration. Nonetheless, this Cannon Peephole Door Viewer is a neat security item worthy of consideration.
