Why the digital peephole viewer:

• The most basic home security is the front door. This is the primary entry point in the home, and the method to identify who is there has not changed in many years.

Traditional peephole:

• Ask who is there and wait for a verbal response.
• This is only useful if you know the person and recognize the voice.
• The optical peephole has been around for over 40 years and was the best option to see who is at the door, however.
• The image quality is poor.
• In low light the image may not be easy to identify.
• The user must place an eye to the door thus darkening the peephole and signaling he is home.
• It is too high for children to see through.
• Older people have difficulty seeing through a small peep hole.
• The digital peephole viewer:
• The peephole viewer is the digital equivalent of the optical peephole with some major benefits.
• Simple push button activation to see large image without darkening the peephole.
• Clear image in LCD panel on door, easy to see for people of any height.
• Compensation for low light images.
• Compensation for “fish eye” distortion.
• Zoomed live picture for easy identification.
• Easy for children to use and see the LCD.
• Easy for older people to see clearly who is at the door.
• Simple one button operation:
• Press the power button under the LCD panel to turn on the viewer and see clearly who’s at the door.
• The first push of the power button will put the peephole viewer into “regular” view mode.
• If the button is pressed a second time while the viewer is still on, the display
• will go into “zoomed view”.
• Repeated pressing of the button causes the viewer to rotate between the two viewing modes: “regular” and “zoom”.
• The viewer will turn off automatically after 10 seconds to conserve battery life. Any press of the button will restart the timer for 10 seconds.

Display modes:

• “Regular” regular display mode shows a field of view similar to that of a digital camera.
• “Zoom” zoom display mode enlarges the center of the peephole field of view for viewing facial details.

Low battery:

• When the batteries are low, the red low battery light will flash.
