How to install a Thirard Digitalvisia digital peephole?

To install your door peephole, you will need:

1 meter
1 pencil
1 flat or Phillips screwdriver, depending on the model
1 wood bit if your door is wooden, or a metal drill bit, if your door is metal or armoured (of the diameter as indicated on the packaging).

Before selecting and buying a peephole video camera,  you need to check the door thickness.

Tip: when purchasing your peephole, check the  diameter of the cylindrical tube of the peephole indicated on the packaging to  be sure to get the right bit (avoid the hassle of going back to the store to  buy a drill bit).

1. STEP 1: DRILL THE DOOR

Before drilling the door, you will need to:

– Determine the height at which you want to install the peephole
– Make a reference mark so that it is installed in the centre of the door at the desired height

Check the diameter of the peephole body (the  cylindrical barrel) indicated on the packaging in order to prepare the drill  with the right bit
N.B.: Should you lose the installation  information, use a Vernier calliper.

– Gently drill the hole for the peephole  taking care to drill the hole perpendicular to the door.

Tip: If your door is wooden, do not drill completely  through as that could splinter the wood and damage your door. Stop just as the  tip of the wood bit shows on the other side, withdraw the bit and then go to  the other side of the door and drill again from there, entering the tip of the  bit into the hole that is just about to be finished.

2. STEP 2: INSTALL THE DOOR PEEPHOLE VIDEO CAMERA

– Remove the sticker at the back of the camera (the  arrow on the front of the camera pointing upwards)

– Insert the barrel (the cylindrical tube) and the  cables into the drilled hole – the camera shall be placed at the outer side of  your home

– Firmly stick the camera to the door

– Carefully position the mounting plate at the end of  the lens by peeling the self-adhesive strip at the back of the plate, and then  stick it firmly to the door.
– Screw the latching barrel onto the threaded part of  the camera and tighten by turning clockwise (use the provided clamping wrench).  In this way, the camera plate will be securely mounted on the door

– Connect the signal cable to the back of the screen  and then insert the rest of the cable into a groove on the back of the screen.

– Hook the digital peephole on its bracket at the top  of the latch plate and screw the frame with the locking latch

3. STEP 3: TURN ON THE DOOR VIEWER

– Install the batteries.

– Wait 5 seconds before using the unit until the system initializes.

– For configuration, refer to the instructions provided with the purchase.

NB: Some models of digital peep holes such as Thirard’s Digital visia can record on a memory card at any time anyone waiting outside their door after ringing the bell, even if you are not there. The doorbell is incorporated into the peephole on the camera side and pressing the button from the outside will trigger a time-stamped shot. The inner vision button, like the outer bell button, can trigger the shooting. In addition, three LED lights allow night vision.
