Camera in the door peephole with recording

The safety of a residential house depends on many factors and objects, among which a front door occupies a special place. Therefore, many prefer metal armored structures, equipped with eyes. But such mechanisms allow analyzing the space behind the door only if there is a person inside the room at a specific period of time. A more modern solution is the camera in the peephole of the door with a record. These are universal mechanisms that can be chosen for any type of door.

Cameras for door eyes began to be used relatively recently. This became possible due to the fact that video systems of small sizes appeared. A similar design today is complemented by special memory drives that allow you to save information on a specific type of carrier.

Many entrance video eyes of this type complement the small displays that are located inside the house. This allows you to qualitatively evaluate what is happening outside the door, as the video camera can produce a very good extension of the picture.

Systems of this type can perform several functions:

• Alert. Cameras are connected to various devices, which, if there is movement in front of the door, can emit sound or light signals.
• Photographing and video recording. This action can be performed both automatically and when a certain signal is sent by a person (pressing a button, etc.).
• Saving information or transmitting it to remote locations.
• The organization of the hidden video surveillance.
• Work in the infrared mode. This allows you to get a high-quality image even in low light.

The video peephole is a unique mechanism that copes with many tasks.

The design has several positive characteristics:

• The camera produces a much better image than a standard multi-lens eye.
• The viewing angle of such systems can reach 180 degrees, which allows you to see people standing parallel to the wall. This affects the security of your home, since you can completely control the area in front of the door.
• Information from the camera is stored on the disk, which allows you to analyze all the actions that occurred near the door during the day.
• This type of video surveillance can be supplemented with special transmitters, which make it possible to display the image received from the camera on a mobile phone or computer. In this case, you do not have to get up to see who is behind the door.
• Easy installation. You can connect the camera even without a certain experience, simply following the manufacturer's recommendations.
• The price of these devices is much lower than a full-fledged video intercom with a door-opening control system.

But cameras of this type have several significant drawbacks:

1. Some wireless models are quite difficult to install, which requires the involvement of experienced professionals.
2. To conceal the image from the outside, simply close the camera with your hand, clay or chewing gum.

Cameras for eyes produces many companies that allows you to pick them up under the various characteristics of the door. Depending on the design features of the products, they can be divided into 2 main types:

• Packageless. Cameras of this type are small. Installation of these structures is carried out directly in the standard door peephole They are very often used when you need to hide the presence of a video camera. Installation of such mechanisms requires certain skills and therefore is only possible by experienced specialists.
• Corpus. Video cameras of this type in many respects resemble classic eyes. They are equipped with a special metal body that simulates all the parameters of standard models of lenses. Their cost is somewhat more expensive, since they already represent a complete system, which is much easier to disguise and install.

Cameras can operate in a different light spectrum, which allows them to be divided into the following types:

• Colored. Systems of this type are capable of transmitting a full-fledged picture that corresponds to real parameters. They are used very often, as they are very practical.One of the drawbacks of such cameras can be considered the poor quality of the image at night. To improve these indicators, use a special infrared light.
• Black and white. Cameras of this type work only with these two primary colors and their mixed shades (gray). This contributes to a higher quality image. They are much better adapted for shooting at night.

Depending on the generated signal, cameras are analog and digital. The latter view today is gaining immense popularity, as it allows you to transmit an image as a binary code. This information can then be processed by virtually any digital device from the telephone to the computer.

When buying a camera for an eye with a recording function, you should pay attention to the following characteristics:

• Type of camera and its resolution. The first parameter is responsible for the number of colors, while the second depends on the quality of the image. The higher the resolution, the better the picture when shooting.
• Connection method. It is important to pay attention to the voltage level with which the video camera can operate. Often, all models are equipped with special power supplies.
• Functional characteristics. It is important to look not only at the size of the case, but also the amount of memory. If you need to shoot at night, then pay attention to the presence of infrared illumination. Some modifications can be supplemented by a motion sensor, which allows you to start recording only at a certain point.
• Viewing angle This parameter indicates the amount of space that will be available to a person for viewing, which is located outside the door.

The camera installation algorithm for a door peephole consists of the following steps:

• Initially, the standard model of the peephole is removed from the door. In its place is mounted a video camera. Fixing it occurs in the same way as the optical peephole.
• After that, on the inner wall attach the display. It is mounted quite easily, as it is mounted on special clamps. Then cables from the camera are brought to it and connected according to the diagram. For this purpose, special clips are used.Please note that, if necessary, a power supply may be located between them, reducing the mains voltage.

Video cameras in the eyes, equipped with a recording function - this is a unique system that allows you to increase safety at home and make it multifunctional and practical.
