High Tech Door Peep Hole

A new product from security camera maker Ezviz will get to know your friends and family. The Lookout Smart Door Viewer costs $230. Ezviz makes affordable home security products. We first tested the Ezviz Mini, a $70 720-pixel HD camera with night vision, motion detection and local and cloud storage. At the time, the Mini was one of the most budget-friendly HD cameras we had seen.

What makes the system more interesting than the usual smart entry solution is how it takes advantage of facial recognition. Using the EZVIZ app, homeowners can opt to create a gallery of trusted people who can gain access to the home. It does this by utilizing facial recognition technology to identify the person at the door automatically, allowing the homeowner to act as they see fit to allow entry. However, the system does not include any smart lock component – meaning you’ll still have to answer the door yourself. It’s more about allowing you to see who’s at the door, then respond. But the Lookout Smart Door Viewer does offer an adjustable microphone, loudspeaker and chime to make it a smart video doorbell.
