peephole
peephole gives approved users a private dashboard for live viewing, photo capture, and recording. Open the dashboard in a browser to see what your device is showing, save a photo, or review a recording. Access is arranged by invitation.

What you can do
| Feature | How it works |
|---|---|
| Live viewing | Open the dashboard to see the live feed from your assigned device. |
| Quick snapshots | Save a frame from the live feed without interrupting it. |
| Full-resolution photos | Capture a more detailed photo and download the original file. The live view may pause briefly while the photo is taken. |

| Shared access | Give approved people viewing or operating permissions based on what they need to do. |
Document a workbench session
Check what the camera sees while you work, then decide whether you need a single reference image or a recording of the process.
-
Check the framing
Open your assigned camera in peephole and use the live view to check where your subject sits in the frame. A snapshot gives you a quick reference before you move anything.
-
Capture the detail you need
Take a full-resolution photo if you’ll want to inspect fine detail in the original image later. When a sequence of changes matters, start a device recording and return to peephole when you’re ready to stop it.
-
Keep a copy with your project
Download the photos you want to compare in your project notes. For a recording, stop the session and download the files before you move to a different computer or hand off the work.
Who can use the camera and where files go
Viewer, operator and owner access
A viewer can open the live feed and use the capture options available to their account. An operator has additional device controls. The owner manages who has access and which permissions they receive.
Give each approved person their own account. If someone only needs to check what the camera sees, request viewing access. If they’ll be responsible for operating the camera, explain what they need to do when you arrange access.
Browser gallery and device recordings
Photos saved to the dashboard gallery stay in the browser where you saved them. Download a copy if you plan to open a photo in another browser or keep it with other project files.
A device recording stays on the camera until you download it. Recording can continue after you close the dashboard, while power and storage allow. Return to stop the recording before downloading the full session.
Access and setup
How do I get access?
Request an invitation through Discord. Access is set up for your account and the device you’ll use. Joining the Discord server is the first step for inquiries. Dashboard access is granted separately.
Do I need to install an app?
The online dashboard opens in a supported browser. You’ll need an approved account and a device that has been set up for your account.
Can I view my device from somewhere else?
Yes, in online mode. The device needs a working internet connection, and your browser needs to be able to reach the dashboard. If the device loses its connection, remote viewing pauses until it reconnects.
Can someone view without changing settings?
Yes. A viewer can open the live feed and use the capture features available to them. An operator has additional device controls. The owner manages access permissions.
Can different people operate different devices at the same time?
Multi-device setups are arranged by invitation. Tell us how many devices you plan to run at once and who needs access to each one so we can confirm availability for your setup.
Photos and recordings
Which capture option should I use?
Use a snapshot for a quick reference. Use a full-resolution photo when fine detail matters or you want the original image for later review.
Where do saved items go?
Photos saved in the dashboard gallery stay in the browser where you saved them. Device recordings stay on the device until you download them. Download anything you want to keep or move to another computer.
How long can I record?
Device recording can continue after the browser closes. Available storage and power determine how long it can run. Stop the recording before downloading the full session.
Who can see my feed?
Dashboard access is restricted to approved accounts. If you share access, each person should use their own account so permissions can be managed separately.
Local mode preview
Local mode is in testing for setups that need to operate without internet access. It requires a compatible computer and a direct local connection between your equipment. If you need local operation, ask about preview availability and compatibility before ordering.
Orders and support
What’s included, and how much does it cost?
Ask for the current price, what’s included, any equipment you need to supply, and the estimated delivery or setup time. Confirm support and return terms before placing an order.
What should I include in my inquiry?
- How many devices you want to set up
- How many people need access and whether they need to view or operate
- Whether you need remote viewing or want to try local mode
- The computer or phone you plan to use with the dashboard
Where do I get help after setup?
Contact us through Discord. Tell us what you were trying to do and what happened. Share screenshots privately if they contain footage, account details, or device information.
