Buyer Critiques


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 compact digital screen that you mount on the inside of your door.
=-=-=- Positive aspects more than a regular peephole =-=-=-=
Basically, it shows you what you would see by means of a peephole on the smaller screen but this has a number of benefits
1) A lot more than 1 person can appear at the Cannon viewer at when, so you can compare notes on who it could be or if you need to let them in
two) If the individual at the door is suspicious, you can simply use your phone cam to take a image of the image on the screen for use later, if required
3) Even more comfy to watch for an extended period
four) A reverse peephole viewer is useless against this device.
5) Simpler for kids than hunting via a peephole
What would make this a really killer device would be if it has capacity 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 excellent addition. But this device wasn't designed for that and I do not subtract something for those .
In spite of this, the image top quality on the viewer I got is a bit grainy, perhaps it is because I have mainly used 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 instructions that you had to eliminate the plate initially, and the diagrams and figures did not show clearly how the viewer attaches to the door. Once again, your mileage may perhaps differ, but it seemed like it could have been produced clearer with a greater diagram.
Also, the directions were completely incorrect as far as camera orientation. I had to turn the camera portion until the red arrow was pointed almost 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 in all probability take it out and re-seat it.
An additional concern I had with the directions is that my door was a small thicker, so the plate would not effectively align to the back of the camera piece until I started to screw on the base. That just made me a little confused on if probably had the alignment of the door plate incorrect, considering that the figure showing how the plate attaches to the door is not that amazing to begin with.
Nevertheless I am pleased with the device. Currently I have been in a position to use the device to show someone at the door to my kids. So even though I have kept my old peephole just in case, I believe 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 quick. You need a power drill and a 9/16" drill bit and you should be able to drill the hole straight by way of the door, not at an angle. Metal doors could 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.
Generally, this is what you do: Undo the two modest bolts at the bottom of the LCD unit and remove 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 by way of the door and the center hole of the mounting plate, generating sure 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 regarding the suitable 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 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 picture for ten seconds. Contrary to the old style peep-glass, the whole family can see who is at the door at the identical time with this Cannon Peephole Door Viewer. Height differences among household members no longer matter even a small youngster can use the viewer as long as he can reach the ON-OFF button. These are critical considerations. Moreover, even among adults, it is a way 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 quality of the picture is acceptable in complete daylight but becomes grainy in a low light circumstance. I have a challenge with the duration of the picture. It is also 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 opt for 10, 30, or 60 second duration. Nonetheless, this Cannon Peephole Door Viewer is a neat security item worthy of consideration.
