The system activates a camera every time the doorbell is rung and gives you a clear high resolution colour image of who is at the door on a 7mm LCD screen. Not only that, it also records up to 100 colour images.

The camera is able to operate day and night, is weather resistant and has a 60 degree viewing arc. It has a white gloss finish that will suit any home décor and the monitor supports up to a 2GB SD card for recording the images. All recorded images can be transferred to a PC via the USB cable supplied with the pack and which also serves as the battery recharging source.

It is called the Swann DoorEye and it is an easy to install DIY product that is available nationally from Dick Smith Electronics and Bunnings.
