The Role of Wide-Angle Door Viewers in Apartment Safety

The digital door viewer is the modern alternative to the classic, analog door viewer. If you have to walk to the door to see who is waiting for you with the classic door viewer, with the digital door viewer you can simply see the image from in front of the door on your smartphone. The camera in the door viewer records the area in front of the door and transmits it in real time to a screen inside or to an app on the smartphone. This makes sense especially for people who are often on the move or people with limited vision or severe visual impairment, or people with walking disabilities or in wheelchairs and for children or very small people.

In addition, the visitor or a possible burglar can not see from the outside whether there is someone in the apartment. Through the classic door peephole, light can penetrate to the outside, which does not happen with the digital door peephole.

Some models are even equipped with a night vision mode. Others record the area in front of the door and save the video recording so that you can also see what is happening in front of your door afterwards.

However, this control can also be a disadvantage, because is recording other people with the help of a digital door peephole even allowed? If you live in an apartment building, the privacy rights of other tenants must be protected. Therefore, most landlords do not accept digital door viewers or only as an exception, for example, for people with disabilities. The problem is that the privacy of other tenants can be violated by the recording. For this reason, door viewers that store the video recording are also not allowed. Therefore, you should always discuss the installation of a digital door peephole with the housing association or landlord.

In your own home, digital door viewers are a real alternative. Here, it is also worth combining them with other devices, e.g. a smart door opener, so that you can let the visitor in directly.

Digital door viewers are usually battery-operated, which is why the battery or rechargeable battery must be replaced depending on its service life. In addition, you need a correspondingly strong door for a digital door viewer, as it is heavier than a classic door viewer.
