Hi Alvin,, sort of in context.
There are a number of IP based cameras that will do the kind of thing you want.
Need to be sure I follow the dictionary. what does the IP mean in IP based camera? And the camera will send a written or verbal notification either to my land line analog telephone, or send me a regular e-mail?
Really? Do you have a model? Perhaps I can find it on line somewhere.
There appear to be some peephole cameras so it may be possible to get something that will fit into an existing door peephole otherwise you will be trying to figure out where to install the camera. Actually the install location may be the simplest part of the problem. To help folks picture, my apartment is above a commercial space with what is technically my front door facing the back. the door I wish to monitor is at the bottom of the stairs leading to my landing. I have two elevated options for camera placement, one a shelf practically at the window level which is set high in the door, and better still a very tall entertainment centre that is flat on top, and right next to an outlet. My door has no peephole. The goal is placement so one does not know there is a camera around if that makes sense. Thanks for providing some ideas Alvin,
You could also consider whats known as a 'game camera' - - - only takes pictures on movement. Regards
