Door bell linked camera

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Hoping someone can help shed some light on this:

 

I want to put up a camera on the front door linked to a small screen inside, which switches on for a few seconds when the doorbell is pressed allowing you to see the visitor before opening the door. Not need for recording, just plain monitoring.

 

Has anyone tried this or know how to go about it?

 

Thanks

Use an automotive LCD that runs on 12v and switch it with an Elk doorbell/phone ring detection module and a relay.

 

Really though it's best just to leave the thing on, better yet feed it a quad so you can see around corners and such.

Great, thanks for that. I'll see if I can locate one of those modules.

 

 

I'm guessing the design will have to incorporate some sort of relay for the delay (i'm not too good with PCBS/ circuits so excuse me).

I am having a little difficulty locating elk products here in the UK. Tried a few US fleabay sellers but no reply.
