The peephole cam is a camera that fits over existing door peepholes to record goings on outside. The Ring discontinued the peephole cam due to it failing to catch on.
The peephole cam came back this morning at the Consumer Electronics Show. It now starts at $129 and ships with software that brings its capabilities in line with the rest of Ring.
After removing the peephole cam from our inventory, we heard from a number of customers who still were interested in this device and wanted to secure their front door with a Ring Doorbell but were not able to install one of Ring's existing doorbells, according to Ring's chief technology The Ring peephole cam can be purchased at a lower price than before.

Ring claims that the peephole cam can be installed without modifications to a door and that it offers motion detection, a doorbell button,1080p video, two-way talk, real-time streaming video and Privacy Zones. The peephole cam has an impact sensor that can be adjusted to detect when a door is being physically interacted with.
When a knock, motion or doorbell ring is detected, the peephole cam will let owners send announcements or sound effects to theirAlexa-enabled device. Smart home routines can be triggered by a knock or motion from the peephole cam.

When asked about the privacy features of the peephole cam, the doorbell has built in cover slides to prevent a passerby from looking through it. Consumer advocates argue that the company's devices are a security threat. Ring has a history of sharing footage with the government without users' permission, working closely with police departments around the U.S. and being reticent to reveal its connections with law enforcement.
Those willing to look past Ring’s trangessions can buy a Peephole Cam starting today in the U.S. at retailers including Amazon and the Ring store. It comes in one finish, Satin Nickel.
