Peephole Cam

Video Doorbell

Peephole Cam is our latest video doorbell that lets you answer the door from anywhere. It sends real-time notifications to your phone and tablet whenever anyone knocks on your door, triggers the built-in motion sensors or presses the doorbell button. Answer the notification and you can see, hear and speak to people at your door from anywhere.

The main difference between Peephole Cam and other Ring Video Doorbells is its placement. Unlike other Video Doorbells, Peephole Cam is installed directly on your door by replacing its peephole.

Yes. Peephole Cam replaces the peephole on your door, so a peephole is required to begin installation. Peephole Cam is compatible only with standard size peepholes 1/2 in to 9/16 in (12 mm to 14 mm) and door thickness ranging from ~1.3 in to ~2.2 in (34 mm to 55 mm).

Peephole Cam is designed to easily replace your peephole, making it a great solution for apartment renters and condo owners. If you ever need to move, you can easily remove your Peephole Cam and replace it with the existing peephole, so your landlord and HOAs don’t have to worry about permanent home alterations. As always, be sure to get permission from your building management or homeowners’ association before making improvements to your home security.

As always, it’s your responsibility to comply with local laws and community rules. Depending on where you live and the layout of your home, you may need to get permission from your neighbors, building owners, property managers, housing associations, etc., as the case may be. We encourage you to use the security stickers we provide in the box so your neighbors are aware that audio/video surveillance is taking place on the premises.

We also recommend that you be mindful of your Peephole Cam’s field of view and the features you are using. For instance, you can adjust motion zones in order to control what areas you want Peephole Cam to detect motion events. When necessary, use the audio toggle to disable audio recording and create privacy zones to limit what gets recorded in your camera's field of view if your Peephole Cam is covered by a Ring Home Plan, sold separately.

Yes. Peephole Cam is weather-resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as -5°F (0°C) and as high as 120°F (40°C), so you can place it on most doors that face the outside without worrying about the elements.

Yes. Peephole Cam is compatible with select Echo and Fire TV devices as well as Alexa-enabled tablets. When connected to a compatible Alexa-enabled device, you can hear notifications from Peephole Cam, answer the door with your voice, use Live View to check in on home, and speak to people on your property with two-way talk.

Privacy zones are a feature that help you protect your neighbors’ privacy by excluding selected areas in the camera's field of view from Live View, video recording, and photo capture. If you activate privacy zones, the areas they cover will be blacked out to help protect your neighbors’ privacy. You can create distinct privacy zones from within the Ring app.

Peephole Cam has a 155° vertical field of view and a 90° horizontal field of view that lets you see visitors at your door. Keep in mind, however, that the height and placement of your peephole may affect the viewing area of your device. In some cases, you may not be able to see the ground directly in front of your door, which may prevent you from seeing some packages that are left at your doorstep.
