What is Peephole Viewer (Digital Door Viewer) from Brinno?

The closest thing your house or apartment might have along these lines is a peephole in the front door. Peepholes, in one form or another, have been around for centuries, but are they the best way to inexpensively monitor and secure your main entrance?

The battery-powered device ( AA batteries) is actually a door-mounted security camera that requires drilling a hole no larger than for the average peep hole. The hole for an existing peephole will likely suffice.

The monitoring unit itself is about the size of a cell phone and easily installed. The components consist of a digital camera  and a 3″ LCD screen that not only compensates for fisheye distortion but has a brightness enhancer or zoom option so you can see outside at night. 

Simply press a button and the screen comes on. Press again to magnify the image(zoom option). The screen stays lit long enough to identify the subject . The duration can be extended, and you can even save the image of a suspicious person to an onboard microSD card, in case you want to share it with the police. Add-on modules can wirelessly extend the unit’s picture-taking to occasions when someone knocks or even approaches your front door.

When the going gets tough, The tough gets going. Peephole, Century structure shock proof

Without those fragile cables & connectors Traditional Peephole is much stronger than Door Cam

Why traditional Peephole matters for Front door security camera?

 

UNC Charlotte researcher Joseph Kuhns from the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology did a famous survey

Some Findings included:

• When selecting a target, most burglars said they considered the close proximity of other people – including traffic, people in the house or business, and police officers; the lack of escape routes; and signs of increased security – including alarm signs, alarms, dogs inside, and outdoor cameras or other surveillance equipment.
• Approximately 83 percent said they would try to determine if an alarm was present before attempting a burglary, and 60 percent said they would seek an alternative target if there was an alarm on-site. This was particularly true among the subset of burglars who were more likely to spend time deliberately and carefully planning a burglary.
• Among those who discovered the presence of an alarm while attempting a burglary, half reported they would discontinue the attempt, while another 31 percent said they would sometimes retreat. Only 13 percent said they would always continue with the burglary attempt.

 

So the thing is — fake security camera seems to be your home securit 101?

Hold on, don’t miss those 13 percent who will go on the burglary even your fake camera was spotted.  It won’t be too hard to conclude that those 13 percent who are either rather courageous and  are most likely destroying or smashing any security cameras or alarms Or they are kinda Tech Savvy who knows how to disable your entire home security system or probably the electricity expert who just know how to “power off”–end of the story.

It seems your high $$ security systems may end up

(1) smashed or destroyed by “courageous ” burglars   OR

(2)disarmed or power off by “tech savvy” type intruders

This is why the HIDDEN front door security camera with Long battery life is crucial like this Brinno Peephole camera with All in one embedded Motion detection.

Why Brinno Peephole Motion Activated Camera survives?

(1) it is virtually impossible to tell there is a camera behind such ordinary peephole. No way to identify, let along the smashing

(2) No power plug, the camera goes on( 6 Months of battery life) even grid power cut and catches the burglar photo eventually

The perfect example is those B2 Stealth bomers or F22—Once the enemy cannot detect and identify, You are the king of the sky.
