Is the viewing angle of the camera good enough for this to be mounted next to the door in a typical doorbell location?

I don't believe so but that's my opinion. The instrument is made to replace and work with the existing peephole built into your apartment door. If you don't live in a private dwelling then I would wait for an I-phone app that will allow you to do the same thing, wirelessly. I hope this has been of some help.

Yes, the viewing angle is awesome. I mounted the unit replacing a door bell unit, replacing the door bell in the exact location with the Camera, it work perfect, and angle of view is great.......

I don't think this would be a good outdoor mount. Fine for indoor use with small cameras.

I haven't installed this one yet. Installed similar at prior home. Should be able to mount from either side. With the door open at a 90 degree angle, it should take no more than 1 additional inch of the remaining opening.

I insalled similar camera (the chrome one) with stud facing front and camera facing down. Installed on a truck tail gate. Image is upside down. I should of asked before I bought!

No. It seems to work well from both behind the camera and hidden from sight in front. I have been happy with it.

Since it is an indoor camera, I would say it would be OK as long as it is not subjected to rain, moisture condensation, and/or extreme temperatures. Also, it should be mounted in a spot with good air ventilation; otherwise, heat built-up from the camera LED lights could damage the camera or may cause fire (read and follow the camera instruction manual)

I depends. In my house, I have one camera up to 80 Ft away from the monitor without any reception issues even with some walls between them.

I believe so. I have one camera set up on my front door area where packages are left. The camera is about 25 feet from the door. I do recognize the faces of visitors when they face he camera position.

Yes, you can mount the camera at any angle, mine are screwed into a concrete wall.

Depends how far you mount it. I mount mines in the basement hall way aiming to the front door so it's about 6 ft away, and it's really clear with lights on .If it's not daytime or don't have any lights it will not see anything.The camera is hidden in the little holes so if you want to point it where you want it , you have to aim the camera where you want it and then put on the mounting screws for the smoke detector. I think if you want to cover a room about 10 ft wide will be gd.

Yes it can except there needs to be wired connection to make the camera and the doorbell work from outside your door.

It depends on your comfort in determining location and angle of view. Setup was easy, but I was installing on a 2nd floor, and I found it easiest to put my laptop in the window inside of where the camera was being installed. That allowed me to adjust it without having to go up and down the ladder. I will admit that I moved the camera twice, and adjusting the motion detection zones was... challenging, in my situation. Just be aware of the wide angle of the camera, passing cars, people walking down sidewalks, shadow movement during the day, and bushes moving in the breeze - all potentially set off the motion capture. For me, it wasn't worth paying a company to install. It depends on your comfort in determining location and angle of view.

It's a great little camera. You can mount it anywhere that's structurally sufficient and that you have a path to run your wires. Good luck.

Yes, Most Certainly. This "peephole" only requires a hole about as big around as a pencil. AND when you remove your peephole and install this one, the lens will cover the outer part of the hole in your door and the viewing screen covers the hole on the inside of your door... I have one and enjoy using it. Besides, my old doorbell was getting "frisky" and would get stuck when the button was pushed. The one you are reviewing has doorbell built in.

If you want to mount the camera straight out from the house, the mount will not be long enough. But if you mount the camera to the side, left or right it will work without anything extra. What I did is mount a small block of wood to my shed to give me an extra inch so I could mount the camera straight out. I hope this works for you.

Doorbell captures picture when doorbell pushed. Camera can be panned after doorbell. Have not found that camera works without doorbell.

I'm not sure what you mean, If you mount your doorbell on the door, it should work. And the ringer are very loud, you can't miss it. I'd give a try, it's only 10 dollars.
