Best Peephole Cameras with Wide-Angle View

TL;DR: The Bextgoo Digital Door Viewer packs a 2K camera, 170° view and a 4.3‑inch screen into a weatherproof, Alexa‑compatible unit with an 8000 mAh battery for reliable, high‑resolution door monitoring.

The standout spec is its 2K (4MP) video paired with a 170° viewing angle and a 4.3‑inch color display, delivering crisp images day and night. Night vision reaches 5 m thanks to IR LEDs, and the 4x digital zoom helps focus on distant visitors. Power comes from an 8000 mAh rechargeable battery that the manufacturer says can run for up to 432 hours.

In price it sits above the budget‑friendly Dioche and Naierdi models, yet it is a shade cheaper than the Diyeeni offering. At 607 g it is heavier than the lightweight Dioche unit and the Sonew model, but comparable to the Diyeeni viewer. The larger indoor monitor also makes it bulkier than the slimmer competitors.

Users repeatedly praise the easy screw‑in installation, the sharp 2K video, and the reliable motion alerts delivered through the companion app. Professional reviewers highlight the AI‑driven humanoid detection and the seamless Alexa integration. The main complaints revolve around occasional Wi‑Fi hiccups, a need to recharge the battery regularly, and the indoor screen’s bulk, which can feel large on thin doors.

Beyond the camera, the unit carries an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, supports both local microSD (up to 128 GB) and cloud storage, and offers two‑way audio with a built‑in microphone. The 802.11b/g/n Wi‑Fi standard ensures broad compatibility, while AI motion detection reduces false triggers.

Best for: Apartment dwellers and homeowners who want premium image quality and smart‑home features — the Bextgoo Digital Door Viewer offers Battery Capacity: 8000 mAh.

Avoid if: You need a tight‑budget solution, require optical zoom, or cannot tolerate occasional false alerts and a larger indoor display.

TL;DR: The Dioche Digital Door Viewer upgrades a standard peephole with a 2 MP sensor, 120° view and a 3.5‑inch color LCD for $37.09, but it lacks night vision and has a short 15‑second video timeout.

The standout spec is its 2 MP CMOS sensor paired with a 120‑degree viewing angle, delivering a noticeably wider field of view than a typical peephole. The 3.5‑inch LCD color screen (480×320 pixels) lets you see a clear daytime image, and the unit powers itself with four AAA batteries, weighing about 0.46 lb (200 g) for easy mounting.

Compared with the other five models, Dioche is lighter than the Camera Video Door Viewer (which is about 0.12 lb) and considerably lighter than the Bextgoo unit (over 1.3 lb). Its screen is smaller than Bextgoo’s 4.3‑inch display and the Diyeeni’s 4.3‑inch panel, but larger than the Naierdi’s 3‑inch screen. While Bextgoo and Diyeeni both offer night‑vision ranges of 5 m, Dioche provides none, and Naierdi’s night‑vision LEDs are also absent. The viewing angle of 120° sits between Camera Video Door Viewer’s 150° and Bextgoo’s 170°, giving decent coverage without the ultra‑wide distortion of the higher‑angle units.

Reviewers consistently praise the quick three‑minute installation and the wide 120° view that captures more of the doorstep than a traditional peephole. Professional reviewers note the stable fit of the 3.5‑inch display and the short latency despite the slight delay in video preview. However, users also flag the lack of night vision as a major drawback, and the 15‑second auto shut‑off forces repeated activation if you need a longer glance.

Best for: Entry-level buyers or those on a tight budget — the Dioche Digital Door Viewer offers Viewing Angle: 120 degrees

Avoid if: You need powerful performance or professional‑grade features

TL;DR: The Sonew Digital Door Viewer offers a 3‑inch LCD, 1 MP camera and 120‑degree view, but its $67.34 price and 1 MP resolution place it mid‑range among competitors.

Sonew’s standout spec is its 1 MP resolution displayed on a 3‑inch TFT LCD, paired with a 120‑degree field of view and two 850 nm IR LEDs for night vision. The device measures just 0.39 in in height, length and width, and its zinc‑alloy housing keeps the unit lightweight at 0.68 pounds.

Compared with the other five door viewers, Sonew sits in the middle of the price band and is heavier than the ultra‑light Camera Video Door Viewer, but lighter than the bulkier Bextgoo model. Its 3‑inch screen is smaller than Dioche’s 3.5‑inch panel and far smaller than the 4.3‑inch screens on Bextgoo and Diyeeni. Battery capacity matches Naierdi’s 1200 mAh unit, yet falls short of the 4600 mAh and 8000 mAh packs found in Diyeeni and Bextgoo. Resolution‑wise, Sonew’s 1 MP sensor is lower than the 2 MP cameras in Naierdi and Dioche.

The device carries a 3.8‑star average from 37 reviewers, indicating moderate satisfaction. Users note the compact zinc‑alloy housing fits standard door holes without much hassle, while the lack of motion detection or two‑way audio is frequently mentioned as a missing convenience. The manufacturer claims the 1200 mAh battery can last up to 180 days, and internal storage holds up to 75 photos for quick visitor review.

Best for: Most users seeking a balanced, mainstream option — the Sonew Digital Door Viewer offers Battery Capacity: 1200 mAh

Avoid if: You're shopping on a tight budget — it's priced at $67.34

TL;DR: The Naierdi Digital Door Viewer offers a 2 MP sensor, 120° view and a 3.0‑inch screen powered by a 1200 mAh battery for $49.99, delivering a simple, wire‑free peephole upgrade.

The standout spec is its 2 MP CMOS sensor paired with a 120° wide‑angle lens, giving you a far broader field of view than a traditional peephole. A 3.0‑inch LCD shows the feed at 480×320 resolution, and the unit stores up to 75 pictures for quick reference. Power comes from a 1200 mAh rechargeable battery that tops up in 3‑5 hours and runs for months without a plug.

Compared with the other five models, Naierdi sits in the middle of the price range and offers fewer premium features. Bextgoo’s version is heavier, sports a larger 4.3‑inch screen and an 8000 mAh battery, while Dioche provides a slightly bigger 3.5‑inch display but similar 2 MP optics. Sonew matches the 120° view but drops to 1 MP resolution. The Camera Video Door Viewer pushes a 150° angle and 1080p video yet remains very lightweight. Diyeeni brings a 4.3‑inch screen and two‑way audio, which Naierdi lacks.

Users consistently praise the wide‑angle view and the convenience of a battery‑powered, screw‑in installation that needs no wiring. Professional reviewers note the clear daytime color display, but many point out that the 3.0‑inch screen feels cramped for detailed identification. The device includes two IR LEDs for basic night‑time visibility, yet reviewers mention the illumination is modest, and the lack of WiFi, motion detection, or audio limits smart‑home integration.

TL;DR: The Diyeeni Digital Door Viewer packs a 4.3‑inch touchscreen, 1080p video and a 4600 mAh battery into a 549.9 g, 5‑meter IR night‑vision unit that fits standard 14‑50 mm peepholes.

Its standout spec is the 4.3‑inch color LCD touchscreen paired with full‑HD 1080p video and a 155° ultra‑wide viewing angle, letting you see the entire doorstep at a glance. The unit runs on a rechargeable 4600 mAh battery and offers up to 5 m of infrared night vision, so you can monitor visitors even after dark.

Compared with the other five models, the Diyeeni is heavier than the Sonew viewer (0.68 lb) but lighter than Bextgoo’s 1.34‑lb unit. Its battery capacity sits between Bextgoo’s 8000 mAh pack and the 1200 mAh cells found in Sonew, Naierdi and Dioche, giving it a solid middle ground. The 4.3‑inch screen matches Bextgoo’s display size and outpaces the 3‑inch screens of Sonew, Naierdi and Camera Video Door Viewer, while its 155° angle is wider than most competitors except Bextgoo’s 170° field.

Customers repeatedly praise the easy peephole‑replacement installation and the clear daytime video, noting that the PIR motion detection and smart person detection cut down on false alerts. However, reviewers also flag the black‑and‑white only night vision, occasional 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi drops, and a screen timeout that can be as short as 10 seconds, which some find inconvenient.

Technical extras include H.265 video compression, distortion calibration, wide dynamic range (WDR) and proximity wake, all managed through the EZVIZ app. Two‑way audio lets you speak to visitors, and the device supports MicroSD cards up to 256 GB for local storage, eliminating the need for a subscription.

Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance — the Diyeeni Digital Door Viewer offers Battery Capacity: 4600 mAh

Avoid if: Reliability and user satisfaction are your top concerns

TL;DR: For $19.59, the Generic Camera Video Door Viewer offers a 150° view, 1080p video, and a built‑in 2.4–3.5″ LCD, but its limited 2 GB storage and basic image quality keep it in the budget tier.

The standout spec is its 150‑degree viewing angle paired with a full‑HD 1080p sensor, delivering a relatively wide field of view for a peephole camera. The unit houses a 2.4–3.5‑inch color LCD, so you can see who’s at the door without stepping outside, and it includes 2 GB of internal memory for short video clips. Physically, the device measures 22 mm in height and width, 600 mm in length, and weighs just 0.12 lb (55 g), making it one of the most compact options on the market.

Compared with the five other models in this roundup, the Camera Video Door Viewer is dramatically lighter than the Dioche (≈0.46 lb) and far lighter than the Bextgoo (≈1.34 lb) or Diyeeni (≈1.21 lb). Its 150° field of view outstrips the 120° angle found on Dioche, Naierdi, and Sonew, though it doesn’t reach the 170° offered by Bextgoo. The screen size sits below the 3.5‑inch panels of Dioche and the 4.3‑inch displays of Bextgoo and Diyeeni, which may feel modest if you prefer a larger view. Price‑wise, it sits at the low end of the range, undercutting the $37‑plus price points of the peers.

Users consistently praise the simple installation: a single 18 mm drill hole and sticky pads are all that’s needed, and the camera automatically powers on when the doorbell is pressed. Reviewers also note the handy doorbell function and the ability to playback short 5‑second recordings. However, several commenters call the video “blurry” and “basic,” reflecting the limited resolution despite the 1080p claim. The 2 GB internal storage fills quickly, leading to frequent formatting, and the device lacks any smart home integration, motion detection, or remote viewing capabilities.

Technically, the unit is a wired‑type installation that runs on batteries, with no Wi‑Fi or cloud connectivity. Activation is manual via the doorbell button, and there is no two‑way audio. The built‑in privacy cover and time/date display add modest convenience, but the lack of motion detection and limited recording duration (5 seconds) keep it firmly in the entry‑level category.

Best for: Entry‑level buyers or those on a tight budget — the Camera Video Door Viewer offers Viewing Angle: 150 degrees
