Answers:

   

1. How does it work?

The Digital Door Viewer's main components are an LCD monitor and digital camera. The camera is mounted on the exterior of a door and the LCD directly opposite on the inside. A sharp, color image is sent from the camera to the monitor whenever the power button is pressed.

2. How is it powered?

The Door Viewer runs on 8 standard "AA" size batteries. It is completely self-contained and requires no external wiring or connections.

3. How long do the batteries last?

The product is "on" only when the operator is pressing the power button. This period of time is a "viewing cycle" and averages 5 seconds in length. The battery life is approximately 1000 viewing cycles. In typical operation, the battery replacement frequency is one year.

4. How difficult is the installation?

Installation requires only a common power drill. A hole is drilled in the door exterior for the camera and the monitor is attached to the inside using self-tapping screws. Time for installation is less than 10 minutes.

5. How big is it?

The LCD panel mounted on the inside of the door has a 5.6inch viewing area in an 8.5 inch wide by 5.5 inch high frame.  On the outside, the camera is mounted in a flat circular housing with a diameter of just 3/4 of an inch.

6. Can I retrofit it on an existing door?

Yes, the Door Viewer can be installed in any standard door. The door can be hung or not. Any existing peephole is first removed.

7. Can I buy a door with the viewer in it already?

Not currently. Similar to door hardware such as locks and hinges the Door Viewer is supplied separately.

8. How hard it is to use?

The Door Viewer is simple to use. Just press and hold the clearly labeled power button on the monitor for a distortion-free view.

9. Can my guests break it? Or take it?

The Door Viewer is assembled from the highest quality impact resistant components. The LCD panel has a protective lens cover. There are no directly accessible fasteners, wires  or connectors.
