Can the doorbell be positioned on the door frame, like a regular doorbell, or does it have to be beside the peephole?

Usually, you need to position and install it through peephole. But if you door frame is thin enough (like ~3 in), you can try to install in the door frame.

The door bell is part of the peep hole and therefor cannot be placed separately.

The doorbell part also includes the camera. The instructions tell you to route the wires through the existing peephole, or if you don't have one already, to drill a hole for the wiring. I guess you could put it on the doorframe, but then you would not be able to see who was at the door, or just whatever level you would put the doorbell at. You would likely have to do some additional wiring for it to reach your viewer. Best to put it in the normal (peephole) position.

The doorbell and camera are all one piece and must be back to back. The cable (very short) goes through the hole that you drill in the door. Every door frame that I have seen is too thick for the cable to reach. If you have a knowledge of wiring you could cut and splice the cable, but it is a pain.

The device replaces your existing peep hole thus, it has to be placed in the hole on the door. Think of it as a peep hole with a television screen. Rather than squinting to see who is at the door, all you have to do is turn on the device to see who is standing at the door.

Cord length between doorbell and screen is only 6" at most....I have no idea where you could buy that type of cord in longer lengths.

The unit is not reliant upon traditional methods of attachment. The frame basically slides over the top and bottom of the door. I do not believe width of the door would be a factor at all. Depending on how thin the doors are you may need a little additional bracing to keep it from moving back and forth, but I doubt it.

The door ringer button can be screwed into the wall with supplied screws, but you need to drill or punch 2 holes in the back of the case, also you need to open the back of the case with a small screwdriver to install the battery. Or an easier way you can place double stick mounting tape which is supplied inside the doorbell and attach it to the wall. For the bell part you can either place a screw in the wall and hook it there or you can use a small picture hook, or for that matter you can place it on the table. Hope the info helps Gino.

The Motion Detector is a separate item. The bell has an outside button and you can place the bell within 33 feet of the doorbell part. You can also adjust the sound which is good.

If I understand correctly you are wanting the door to be on the left or right instead of the center as shown in the picture. If that's the case, then no is the answer. The way the unit is constructed the opening/door has to be in the middle. The "windows" on either side of the door are fixed in position. By the way, I've had mine now for several months and we have 2 Boston Terriers that go in and out MANY times a day and it's holding up great. And, the younger one is almost 20 pounds and hits that door and a full run each time. Very pleased with the door.

I have mine attached to the doorway frame and all you do is take you finger or hand and place it on the light portion and it moves in two directions.

you can really install it anywhere you want, my door opens from right to left so I installed it in the very right corner as your looking outside. That way I can keep the door partially open if I want, just enough for the dogs to get in and out. Works like a charm.

Sorry, your email got lost in my stack! We LOVE our bell. It does mount to the door. Your door opens inside. I think it would work if it swings out. You just need to mount it low enough on the door so it is slightly lower than the top of the door. If you leave your door open with it on, the wind will probably make it ring and I don't know how it would do if it gets rained on. But, since I love mine so much, I'd say it is worth a try.

No. That would be a danger in pinning the pet between the door and the frame so it doesn't. You would probably need some other product to keep that pet away from the door.

We mounted ours on the top of the full sized exterior door and it works fine. You could even mount it on the inside of the door frame and that would also work well. Note that the motion sensors are pretty sensitive and will pick up motion as much as 20 feet away (the distance goes up the higher up the door you go).A good product, good recommendation.

Since you have an existing peep hole, installation will be a breeze. The PeepHole View comes with a standard size peephole and attaches to it. Just unscrew your existing peephole and attach it to the PeepHole View and screw back in the existing hole. You will love it. I agree with the person below, brightly lit can cause silhouettes. The only other problem is darkness. There must be some light on the outside or you cannot make out who is on the other side of the door. I really like the peephole.

Yes, you can mount it anywhere within the door frame. If you're putting it in a door everyone uses you may want to check that everyone fits under it before you install.

Mounting should not be a problem since it will use screws, tape or magnets. The problem may be activating it. There has to be movement over the sensor to turn it on. I suppose it could be mounted close to the entrance and wave your hand over it. Unless the door or a movement turns it on you may have better luck with a tap light.

There is a risk leaving it next to the entry door. A burglar could smash the unit before the delay runs out. What I did was to buy a remote keypad for the entry door. I have the main unit placed upstairs where I can set it at night. To prevent a burglar running up the stairs following the sound and then smashing the unit I put a motion detector at the foot of the stairs with the zone set to zero delay. That way anyone trying to get to the main unit will set the alarm off before they get there.

well..... u kinda need a peephole already in your door to make it easy, I guess u could drill a hole in that 6 inches of wood around the glass but don't get close to the glass when drilling the hole, but I say u should already have a peephole , that's a lot easier ask me anything else its cool

It has double-sided tape in the package -- but that usually works only for a couple of days, especially exposed to the elements. It also has two screws (and appropriate holes) for the bell button assembly--you can mount it to any wooden surface, including the door, I imagine. But it seemed more appropriate to fix it to the frame or the wall near the door.

Yes..you have to have a peephole already drilled or you'll need to drill one yourself.
