Consumer Evaluations


The Cannon Peephole viewer is a nifty device. It delivers a fairly clear picture of the other side of your door, without having getting to open it, delivering it to a modest digital screen that you mount on the inside of your door.
=-=-=- Advantages more than a common peephole =-=-=-=
Essentially, it shows you what you would see by way of a peephole on the little screen but this has numerous benefits
1) Alot more than one particular person can appear at the Cannon viewer at once, so you can compare notes on who it may well be or if you really should let them in
2) If the individual 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 required
three) Way more comfortable to watch for an extended period
four) A reverse peephole viewer is useless against this device.
five) Much easier for kids than searching through a peephole
What would make this a seriously killer device would be if it has capability to interface with other devices, for example, if I could look out my peephole when I am down in the basement. Also, nightvision would be an excellent addition. But this device wasn't designed for that and I do not subtract something for those .
On the other hand, the image excellent on the viewer I got is a bit grainy, probably it is considering that I have mainly utilised 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. Maybe it was just me, but it wasn't that clear in the directions that you had to remove the plate initially, and the diagrams and figures did not show clearly how the viewer attaches to the door. Once again, your mileage may very well vary, but it seemed like it could have been made clearer with a greater diagram.
Also, the directions were definitely wrong as far as camera orientation. I had to turn the camera component till the red arrow was pointed nearly 180 degrees in the other path indicated in the instructions, which indicates now it is not genuinely that tight in the door. When I have a few minutes, I will almost certainly take it out and re-seat it.
An additional problem I had with the instructions is that my door was a little thicker, so the plate would not appropriately align to the back of the camera piece till I started to screw on the base. That just created me a small confused on if probably had the alignment of the door plate incorrect, since the figure showing how the plate attaches to the door is not that excellent to begin with.
Still 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 children. So while 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 portion is to drill a hole through the door the rest is quite easy. You require a power drill and a 9/16" drill bit and you must be able to drill the hole straight by way of the door, not at an angle. Metal doors may present additional challenge. The camera unit will fit doors from 1.57" to 2.76" thick. Once the hole is drilled, installing this peephole door viewer is a breeze.
Typically, this is what you do: Undo the two little 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 4 AA batteries included. Unscrew the locking barrel of the camera unit. Insert the camera from the outside via the door and the center hole of the mounting plate, generating 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 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 concerning the proper way and the incorrect way to insert the mini-plug. It is necessary that you push the mini-plug all the way into the socket. Failure to do so may very 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 similar time with this Cannon Peephole Door Viewer. Height differences among family members no longer matter even a smaller child can use the viewer as lengthy as he can reach the ON-OFF button. These are crucial considerations. Additionally, even among adults, it is a even more 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 excellent of the picture is acceptable in complete daylight but becomes grainy in a low light situation. I have a trouble with the duration of the image. It is too short. If a stranger is at the door and I do not wish to talk to him, I would like to stay 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 select ten, 30, or 60 second duration. Nonetheless, this Cannon Peephole Door Viewer is a neat safety product worthy of consideration.
