H-COME 3.5-inch digital peephole viewer, 2 Mega CMOS, 4 × AAA review

The widest door range on the shelf, and the only listing on this site that tells you what its own product cannot do.

The conclusion The widest door range here — 35 to 100 mm (1.38 to 3.94 in), which takes a thin apartment door the otherwise identical Dioche unit will not — with three pairs of screws in the box, a battery you change without removing the unit, and a 2 Mega sensor. It is also the only listing on this site that tells you what its product cannot do: not HD, not night vision, and it needs light on the landing. Believe that line and budget for a nightlight.

What the maker puts in writing

  • 3.5-inch LCD color screen · OV industrial color image sensor · 2 Mega CMOS
  • 120 degree view
  • Door hole range 14–28 mm (0.55 to 1.10 in) · door thickness range 35–100 mm (1.38 to 3.94 in)
  • Inside device approx. 120 × 62 × 20 mm (4.72 × 2.44 × 0.79 in) · outdoor camera approx. 30 mm (1.18 in)
  • 4 × AAA batteries, not included · battery replaced without dismantling the host or the peephole
  • Package: outdoor unit + inner unit, 3 pairs of screws, 1 metal holder
  • “It’s not HD and night vision. There has to be enough light in the area to view the subject.”

No storage. No capture. No screen resolution.

It argues against itself

Which no other listing on this site does.

The camera works well enough at night with low-level lighting, but it is not HD and not night vision, and there has to be enough light to see the subject.

That is a maker choosing a smaller number of sales over a stream of returns.

Take it at face value: a landing light is part of the installation.

Thirty-five millimeters

Five below the Dioche, and that is the real difference.

Thirty-five to a hundred millimeters is the widest door range on this shelf.

A thin apartment or internal door that measures under 40 mm (1.57 in) is outside the range of the otherwise identical unit next to it.

Three pairs of screws

Which is what a thickness range looks like in a box.

A digital viewer is a barrel clamped from the inside by a screw, and the screw has to match the door. Too short and it will not bite; too long and it bottoms out before the plates grip.

Three pairs covers three thicknesses. It is the only package contents list on this shelf, and it decides whether the installation finishes on the first attempt.

Against the Dioche

Same module, two figures apart.

This takes a 35 mm (1.38 in) door and claims 2 Mega, lists its contents, and costs a dollar or two less.

That one states its angle as actual rather than diagonal and warns before the batteries die.

On a thin door, this one.

  • Short press on, long press off — no automatic timeout stated
  • The same module as the Dioche listing here at a dollar or two less

Specifications

Door thickness35–100 mm (1.38 to 3.94 in) — stated; only the EZVIZ CP2 (to 105 mm) goes further on this shelf. Five millimeters at the bottom matters: a thin internal or apartment door that falls below 40 mm (1.57 in) is outside the range of the otherwise identical Dioche unit
Peephole bore14–28 mm (0.55 to 1.10 in) — stated. Against the 14–16 mm (0.55 to 0.63 in) this shelf's buying tip says most viewers want, a 28 mm (1.10 in) ceiling means an already-enlarged bore is still usable
Screen3.5-inch LCD color screen, driven by an OV industrial color image sensor — stated. No screen resolution figure
ResolutionA 2 Mega CMOS sensor — stated. The listing immediately qualifies it: the picture is not HD
Field of view120 degrees — stated
Night visionNone, and the listing says so itself in plain words: it works at night with low-level lighting but it is not HD and not night vision, and there has to be enough light in the area to view the subject. No other listing in this group argues against its own product
BatteryFour AAA cells, not included — stated in the title. The battery is replaced without dismantling the unit or the peephole, which is stated and is the detail that decides whether a change takes two minutes or twenty
FittingIndoor unit approximately 120 × 62 × 20 mm (4.72 × 2.44 × 0.79 in), outdoor camera approximately 30 mm (1.18 in) in diameter — stated
SuppliedOne outdoor unit and one indoor unit, three pairs of screws and one metal holder — the only package contents list on this shelf. Three screw lengths means three door thicknesses catered for

The questions we are asked

Why does a maker say its own camera is not HD?

Because the alternative is a stream of returns, and it is the only listing on this site to make that calculation. The wording is unambiguous: the camera works well enough at night with low-level lighting, but it is not HD and night vision, and there has to be enough light in the area to view the subject. Every other viewer on this shelf either claims night vision or says nothing. Take the statement at face value — it means a landing light or a nightlight is part of the installation, not an optional extra.

What do three pairs of screws mean?

That three door thicknesses are catered for in the box, which is the practical form of the 35 to 100 mm (1.38 to 3.94 in) range. A digital viewer is a barrel clamped by a screw from the inside, and the screw must match the door: too short and it will not bite, too long and it bottoms out before the plates grip. Three pairs is the only package contents list on this shelf, and it is the detail that decides whether the installation finishes on the first attempt. A metal holder for the indoor unit is included with them.

This or the Dioche?

The same hardware, and two figures to choose between. Both publish an indoor unit of 120 by 62 by 20 millimeters, a 14 to 28 mm (0.55 to 1.10 in) bore, a 3.5-inch screen, 120 degrees and four AAA cells not included. This one accepts a door down to 35 mm (1.38 in) against the Dioche's 40, claims a 2 Mega sensor against 1 Mega, lists its package contents, and costs a dollar or two less. The Dioche states its viewing angle as actual rather than diagonal and adds a low-battery alert. On a thin door, this one; otherwise it is close to a coin toss.
