What do the door eyes come

Despite the abundance of models and the desire of manufacturers to equip their products with new useful features, the device and purpose of the door eye remains the same: it is inserted into through hole In the canvas and allows you to see the face of a person standing outside.

Design features

Door eye consists of several parts:

Pros and cons of door eye

Door eye - this useful deviceWith a number of advantages:

• provides the opportunity to see everything that happens before entrance door;
• just mounted, even newcomer can cope with this task;
• if the video camera is built into the eye, it allows you to inspect the territory even in the absence of lighting, while many models can record and save the image;
• it has an affordable cost. Even the video, which is more expensive than simple optical models, is still cheaper than the intercom.

Among the shortcomings of door eye should be noted:

• both optical and video viscosity can be sealed or closed, then the visitor will not be able to see;
• no opportunity to talk to the visitor.

The catch is an important, but optional door eye element, on many models it may be absent. Performs two functions:

• hides the eyes of S. inner doors;
• does not give the opportunity to look inside, does not miss the light in the apartment and from her in the entrance or to the street.

Some manufacturers instead of the valve use a mirror spraying on the lens. It solves the same tasks, but worsens the quality and brightness of the image.

The valve closes the door eye from the inside and provides additional safety

Types of door eye

To decide on the choice of door eye, you need to know which the types of these products, their features and differences.

Panoramic

The peculiarity of panoramic models of door eye is that the lens is divided into two halves. Such a solution allows you to increase the viewing angle horizontally, so the observing person is not necessarily opposite the eyepiece. See what is happening outside the door can be located at a distance of 1.5 meters from the eye.

Panoramic peephole allows you to see what is happening outside the door, being up to 1.5 meters away from it

Perissopic

Honors from periscope models is that they have eyepiece and lens are on different height. A system of mirrors installed inside the periscoped eye is used to transfer the image.

Periscoped eye is convenient to use in families where there are small children. The eyepiece located at the bottom of the canvas will allow the child well to consider the adult to which it will open the doors. The lack of such a model is that it will have to disassemble the door cloth for its installation.

At the periscoptic eye, the eyepiece and the lens are located at different heights

For double doors

This solution is convenient to use in case of installation in the house or apartment of the tambour door. Consists of double eyes from two parts, which are installed in both doors and are located opposite each other. Thus, you can see everything that happens in front of the door without opening the inner canvase. Note that with an increase in the distance between the doors, the image quality will deteriorate. Optimal option It will be when between them about 2-3 cm.

The peephole for the double door allows you to see the visitor without opening the inner canvas

Video-eye

The work of the video discus is similar to the principle of the video intercom control, but in this case there is only an image and there is no possibility to talk to the visitor. This solution can be used both in the apartment and in a private house. To obtain a high-quality image in the dark, the infrared illumination is installed on most models.

Video calls can be connected to a computer, TV or any other equipment that is capable of playing an image. Transferring a signal from the camera to the screen can be performed as follows:

Video: Analog wired video

Electronic or digital

One of the most modern options is electronic eye. His difference from the video table is that the kit already has a small monitor. It is installed on the door from the inside. Outside there is a button, lighting sensor and infrared illumination. They are located on the plate, which is fixed from the inside. With the help of the loop, the external and inner portions of the call are connected to a single mechanism.

Digital eye consists of lens and monitor connected by a loop

After clicking on the call button, an image appears on the screen. The device runs from the batteries, so when it is installed, there are no difficulties with connecting to the network. Digital video calls have built-in memory, the volume of which different models may differ.

Counted

The feature of the secret eye is that it is almost invisible on the surface door canvas. It can imitate a screw screw or one of the elements of the door fittings. Such eyes can be placed not only on the canvas, but also on door box Or at all next to the door.

Free sale of secret door eye prohibited. If you managed to purchase such a model somewhere and you want to install it, you will have to hang a warning that there is a hidden surveillance. Usually completed eyes are used by special services. The main drawback of such models is that they are usually a limited viewing angle.

The countertile eye provides an angle of view of about 100 degrees with a minimum hole diameter on the outside of the door of 0.7 ± 1 mm

With traffic sensor

This is one of the varieties of video or digital eyes. The peculiarity of such devices is that they automatically include the entry when the movement appears before the entrance door. This is a convenient feature in cases when you are not at home. After reviewing the recording, you can see who approached your door.

Eye of the movement sensor automatically turns on the recording when the movement in front of the door appears.

Anti-vandal and bulletproof

If your home has the risk of penetration of intruders who can spoil the eyes, it is better to purchase an anti-vandal model. The lens in such eyes is made of durable glass, and if the camcorder is built into the device, it is reliably hidden inside. The viewing angle in anti-vandal products is small - usually about 75 o, photosensitivity is also lower than that of standard eyes.

There are also bulletproof models in which particularly strong lenses are installed. Mounting them makes sense only in armored doors. Most often, they are installed at the entrances to banks, financial institutions, but can be used on the door to the house or apartment.

Poolenproof peephole has especially strong lenses

Features of choice

In order to make right choice Door eye, you need to pay attention to such characteristics:

1. The viewing angle. This parameter shows which space can be viewed through a specific eye. The optimal indicator is the viewing angle in 180 o. Some manufacturers produce models that it reaches 200 oh, but it rarely has any practical meaning.

   The optimal view of the eye view is 180 degrees

2. Door thickness. From its size depends on the choice of door eye length. There are several types of eyes and each of them has the ability to adjust the length in a specific range:
   • standard - used for doors whose thickness from 35 to 55 mm;

     Standard Eye Length 35-55 mm

   • elongated - 55-100 mm;

     Length of the elongated eye 55-100 mm

   • super longs - more than 100 mm.

     Length of the superline eye more than 100 mm

3. Photosensitivity. It characterizes how clear the picture will be with an insufficient level of illumination in front of the entrance door. The photosensitivity is measured in suites and modern devices usually make up tenth or hundredths of luxury lobs. The smaller this parameter, the better will be visible visitors in the dark. If your door is always lighting, the eye sensitivity of the eye is not so important, if it is not, or it disappears periodically, it is better to take a model with minimal value This indicator or with IR illumination (only in the video of the videos).
4. Diameter. It is important in the case when the eye is carried out. It is important to choose a product that will enter the existing hole tightly and without gaps.
5. Case material. Most often, these devices are made of plastic or metal. Plastic models They have a lower price, but also the service life is small. Hardware They are distinguished by high strength and durability, and their cost is noticeably higher.
6. Lens material. These elements of the door eye can be made of glass or plastic. In more expensive and high-quality models, glass optics are installed, and in cheap plastic.

One of the most common mistakes that are allowed when choosing a door eye is the purchase of products with plastic lenses. They scratch very quickly, so after 2-3 years of operation, the image quality deteriorates greatly. The optimal option is the device that has a minimum of 4 glass lenses. Such a decision due to the phased refraction of light allows you to obtain an image of normal quality.

Installation of the door eye

Despite the fact that there are different types Door eyes, the technology of their installation is almost the same. Also no matter, insert it into steel or wooden door. The difference will be only in the accompanying efforts, as it is much easier to work with the tree than with the metal.

To install the door eye will need such tools:

Installation sequence:

1. Marking. The height on which the door peephole should be installed, standards are not stipulated. Choose it in such a way that this device is convenient to use all family members.

It is necessary in order not to damage the door leaf during the installation work.

   Split the thread and disassemble the eyes into two parts

2. Create a hole. With the help of the caliper, part of the eye is measured with internal threadSince its diameter is greater. Take the drill, the diameter of which is greater than the size of 0.5 mm. Make a hole so that the drill only seemed from the reverse side. After that, continue to drill on the other side of the web. It is necessary to wooden surface Skoles did not appear.

   When creating a hole, the drill must be located perpendicular to the door canvase

3. Install eye. FROM outside The doors insert the part with the outer thread, in which the lens is located, with the inner - the part with the eyepiece. Holding the outer part of the eye, the element is twisted before the stop, which is inserted from the apartment side. There are slots on it. With the help of a wide screwdriver or plate of suitable size, both parts of the device are well tightened. To ensure a dense connection of both parts of the eye, the screwdriver must simultaneously be inserted into both slots.

   Both details are inserted from different sides of the door and twisted among themselves.
