PortalWatch is a peephole camera that mounts directly over an existing door viewer, without drilling or any permanent change to the door - the detail that matters for renters and apartment residents who need visitor screening without hardwired hardware or a landlord's approval. A 166-degree wide-angle lens covers the blind spots a standard peephole misses, and night vision keeps the view usable after dark.
An indoor display shows live video the moment someone knocks and works even without a Wi-Fi connection; joining a home network adds phone alerts, remote live view, and two-way talk through the door. The rechargeable battery runs up to two months per charge, and there is no monthly subscription behind any feature. For apartment door security, the combination of a no-drill mount, a wide field of view, and offline operation covers the cases a video doorbell cannot, since nothing is stuck to the hallway wall.
