Walled-in peephole - video peephole on the front door

Walled-in peephole - video peephole on the front door

A couple of years ago, there was a need to install a video peephole on the front door in front of the vestibule of a city apartment, to control uninvited guests.

The apartment is on the ground floor, and the elevator area is just opposite our door, so there are many outsiders in the corridor.
We did not need an intercom for the door, because there was no desire to talk to anyone, and if one of his own comes, then he can be allowed to go home without talking, just by seeing in the monitor.

For simplicity of soul, I first asked Yandex, where, what, how much.
It turned out that the cheapest monitor with a peephole - a camera in our area costs at least 2500 rubles. And the screen is miserable, only two inches. It is even smaller than my old phone.

Then I thought that I could probably adapt a kit from a small-sized LCD TV and an ordinary compact video camera for this. I had such a television in stock, but a visit to the shops where the cameras are sold plunged me into a gloom. At least 1200 rubles for the simplest camcorder. Somehow cool.

The idea came unexpectedly. On the way back, while standing at the traffic lights, I saw a small rear view camera on the rear bumper of a cool foreign car. And I realized that for my task you can just use it!

An hour later, I already ordered a set for aliexpress on installation of a “moisture-proof rear view camera with a four-inch LCD screen for power supply from 12 Volts." For only 750 rubles, with free shipping.

In less than two weeks, the cargo arrived.


They sent a monitor and a camera. I did not order wires and adapters, I have this stuff full. Title and model I do not intentionally indicate the equipment, I am categorically against advertising, and whoever needs it will find it on the express train of a thousand species.

To install the monitor, it took only two dowels, but I had to tinker with the camera. First of all, I wanted it to not be too noticeable, to be as vandal resistant as possible and to show the largest possible area of ​​the corridor.I did not want to drill and disfigure the iron door either. In addition, the installation time was strictly limited, the less people know and see it, the better and more reliable.



In the morning, when the neighboring people ran away on business and work, I quickly drilled a hole in the wall between the lintel and the entrance iron door with a puncher, and then made a recess there, into which I extended the wires and ... camouflaged the video camera with cement and putty. When the solution froze a little, I went into the corridor, checked the angle of the camera, adjusted it, and by weight connecting the wires and plugs, checked the image quality. Everything turned out very wonderful.


It remains only to connect the plugs on the monitor, hide them away, connect the 12V 2 Amp power adapter to the nearest outlet from the old router, and solder the switch.

To make everything look neat, I used two pieces of cable duct with Velcro for laying wires.

Now, when someone rings the front door, we press the button and see what happens there and who is there. If the guest is needed, then we go to the vestibule, open the external entrance door. And if someone is a stranger, then let him stand there, we have everything at home, there is nothing to bother people in vain.

Did well. Here some write, they say they need to hang up a tablet, they will file a lawsuit, nothing of the kind. Now, if he drills a wall to a neighbor and sets up a camera, then yes.

the camera can only be placed on its door - the rest is common property and installation only with the consent of all homeowners.

And the door ... And the peephole ... And passing pedestrians ...)))))
1. The camera must be mounted on a vandal-proof bracket.
2. The camera should be large to scare away thieves and agents.
3. The camera must be connected to the Internet.
4. The camera should have night illumination.
5. The camera must have a high resolution for face identification!

8. Caliber - minimum 12.7 (Better - 14.5)
9. The turret must be mounted on a vandal-proof bracket.
10. The firing point should be large, to deter thieves and agents .....

There is a risk that when repairing the entrance, the camera eye can be painted over.

Is ringing without sound? Are you staring at the camera all day? Will not you open? Probably you don’t know about the match in the call button. Funny arguments. The call is certainly not a concern. And if no one opens, you can call longer. All the same, I do not bother anyone with my call.

Such a setup and camera selection do not hold water.

1. The camera must be mounted on a vandal-proof bracket.
2. The camera should be large to scare away thieves and agents.
3. The camera must be connected to the Internet.
4. The camera should have night illumination.
5. The camera must have a high resolution for face identification!

Here are five Must-Haves to consider when installing.

You confuse the main thing - in this case, NO VIDEO RECORDING! Just like talking on the intercom is not an audio recording. This is a live video broadcast without recording, it does not violate anything since it is installed in a public place of a non-private property
Do you think the house-wide, then a draw? And let it be filthy there, as in a pigsty and smell like in a toilet- Does this in any way concern you, is there a cleaner? “The devastation is not in closets, it is in the head,” and if the author wants to clean up at least one separately taken staircase, no matter how wretched it looks, I’m for it.

The collective farm "Testament of Ilyich" has nothing more to comment on, the realization of the idea is the most wretched.
we have some kind of bad person
Article 22 in paragraph 1 of the Federal Law "On Personal Data" states that data allowing identify identity are personal, and in relation to them more stringent measures are provided. It is necessary to first notify the Federal Agency for Supervision of Communications, Information Technologies, Mass Communications (Roskomnadzor) about the installation of video surveillance cameras.
There would be a man, but there will always be an article! smile
And what, you can’t mean ??
My grandfather said: "The law that draws where it turned, it turned out there!" If I put in a network of filming with ugliness at some youth party, nothing threatens me. But if the son of the prosecutor, judge, etc., etc., will appear there, then the article is guaranteed to me! secret

A little off topic ... Somehow in our elevator (a 10-story building) small puddles of yellow began to appear. And systematically. It is clear that someone's dog did not have time to get to the street and was relieved in the elevator. And the owners of God's creature did not bother with cleaning. What to do? I figured it out. I wrote an ad like "dear little dogs, we ask you not to crap in the elevator", and so on. I pasted this ad at a height of 20 cm from the floor, in the elevator. And, you know, it helped. Misunderstandings ceased. Probably the dog turned out to be literate :)))))
There are fake cameras in the Fix Price. Hook can help. The price is cheap.
It is the public territory, and even the neighbor’s fence, that you can look at, shoot, photograph as much as you like, for that it’s also public. But to look behind the neighbor’s fence, one can run into a lawsuit about interfering in one’s personal life. Why am I trying to study this topic? We have some kind of bad person who is too lazy to wear their garbage bags beyond the entrance door, so I want to look him in the eye and have an explanatory conversation. So I'm thinking about where to add the DVR, so as not to conflict with the law. Or maybe just stick a warning sign on the entrance to the observation, and see if there is enough arrogance to continue to leave garbage.
So now in many entrances of the cell ... There is one sign - on the street in front of the entrance ... And, somehow, no one is outraged ...
P.S. And if I just have a video eye? What is the difference, I look, or write?
And in private homes what to do? After all, the intercom camera also captures the public territory ... Or maybe the neighbor’s fence ... And what, you can’t mean ??
On the contrary, you should hang an advertisement in front of the entrance to the entrance. "Attention! Video surveillance is being conducted in the room." And higher, so that the drunks do not get it. Samples are given on the Internet.
And for what does the neighbor file a claim if the camera does not look into his apartment? For the fact that he relieved the need for an entrance, but it was laid out in YouTube, or was someone prevented from thumping on the landing? So there, even smoking is prohibited, a public place. Of course, I understand that our laws are, to put it mildly, far from perfect, and with all this casuistry you can get into Zugunder out of the blue. For example, you take a photograph of an architectural monument, and then publish in a local newspaper describing the history of the building, and against the background of the building are people who did not give permission to shoot with all the consequences ...So, just in case, it is better to coordinate with the neighbors, or at least inform them.
And then a neighbor filed a complaint against the installer. And he won it.
The law was most likely amended due to the total installation of car DVRs
And you try to provoke someone to write a statement about illegal shooting! smile
The law was most likely changed in connection with the general installation of car DVRs, where is there a warning?
About twenty years ago it was necessary to register cell phones according to the law on communications.

Yes, it was. One beeline operator and Motorola and Siemens phones with built-in SIM cards. The year is 98-99.
About twenty years ago it was necessary to register cell phones according to the law on communications. The police could easily confiscate the phone if there were no permits.
But no, he lied. Apparently the law was changed, and about 10-12 years ago they introduced a norm on mandatory reporting.
By law, when filming, there must be an alert, a sign or an oral warning.
And on what basis? The staircase is a public place, the camera does not look at the doors of neighboring apartments.

in the eyelet of the front door there is a cheap auto-recorder, powered by TLF-charging, works with a motion sensor. The peephole does not cause suspicion, it is always clear whether anyone came in your absence. And fixes on SD everything that happens under the door.
