Thank you for purchasing a Brinno product!
The primary entrance point to most homes is the front door. Most
homes have a peephole as a means of seeing who is at the door.
The peephole hasn't changed much since it was invented in 1932.
Brinno has perfected the Peephole with their latest Motion Activated
Digital Peephole Camera/Viewer; the PHVMAC. The PHVMAC will
detect when someone approaches your door, turn itself on and display
a clean crisp image on the 3 inch TFT LCD inside the door and store a
time and date stamped video of the person on a Micro SD Card. The
PHVMAC uses the traditional Peephole thus not alerting anyone outside
the door they are being photographed. Battery saving technology
allows the PHVMAC to last for approximately 9000 peeps, so even if
you are away on a two week or two month vacation the PHVMAC will
continue to record who was at your door. When returning home you
simply push a button to review who was at your door that day. You
can easily go back and review any day at the push of a button. All the
photos are time and date stamped and stored as a video le, and can
be down loaded to a PC any time for long term storage. Want to know
if they really tried to deliver your package? Now you will know. Want to
catch the kids playing “Knock Knock” ? It’s easy. Low light and bright
light settings allow you to adjust for the time of day, dusk or high noon.
An easy to use menu and simple Icons on the LCD panel allow you set
it up the way you want it and review the photos quickly and simply.
Now you really know who was at your front door when you were away.
