Who's there?
The IntelliCorder 0 Door Camcorder System which replaces your perfectly functional (and affordable!) door peephole with a $150 battery powered camera and 1-1/2-inch screen.
... get the hell away from my house before I call the cops.
I have one that shows me who's at the door on a round 2" viewfinder... No need to squint into a hole; I can see it from a few feet away - Completely optical, and costs around $10.
Kramer: Newman and I are reversing the peepholes on our door. So you can see in.
Elaine: Why?
Newman: To prevent an ambush.
Kramer: Yeah, so now I can peek to see if anyone is waiting to jack me with a sock full of pennies.
Jerry: But then anyone can just look in and see you.
Kramer: Our policy is, we're comfortable with our bodies. You know, if someone wants to help themselves to an eyefull, well, we say, 'Enjoy the show.'
What happens when someone steals the camera?
well your kinda recording them.....
RTFA, it deploys machine gun turrets and shoots to the death if someone tries to steal the camera.
Can you at least hook the camera up to your PC so you can set up a website to see who's at your door when you're not home? Could be handy for people who have the doorbell diverted to their cell phone.
Or maybe you can record the images as a security measure. (Or even just for Funniest Home Videos.)
Otherwise, pretty useless.
It's a CAMCORDER guys. It records. Probably motion activated so you can see who came by when you're not home. It's not just a peep hole replacement. And there are easier ways to set up video feeds of your front door if that's what you need.
I'm not sure if it's exactly the same, but we have these all over Japan. The house I'm renting now has one, as does my buddies which is a bit fancier in a better neighborhood.
Doesn't seem CES worthy to me.
This is a great post. I had to blog about it at: http://lowtechtimes.com/2008/01/10/2008-international-ces/
If this has a motion activated recording mechanism with timestamp I can see them selling quite well. It's nice to know who knocks on your door, and when.
This is great, it's just the thing I've been after so as to avoid looking through the peep-hole only to have a drill bit shoved through my head. Of course I'd have to have had a pre-frontal lobotomy to buy one of those fugly things at that price in the first place.
Does anyone even notice that it looks like it's five feet tall or something?
If I didn't have that CD-stack next to it to compare sizes, that thing looks absolutely massive.
