Can I use rechargeable batteries in the Yale Digital Door Viewer Auto Imaging 5800?
While it is technically possible to use rechargeable AAA batteries, we do not recommend it for the following reasons:
- Lower voltage: Rechargeable batteries typically provide 1.2V each, compared to 1.5V from alkaline batteries. With four batteries, this results in a 1.2V drop in total power, which can reduce performance and lead to more frequent battery replacements.
- Temperature sensitivity: Rechargeable batteries tend to perform poorly in cold environments. If the device is installed in a shed or garage, low temperatures during winter may affect battery efficiency and compromise reliability.
Is it possible to mount the Yale Digital Door Viewer Auto Imaging 5800 outdoors, for example on an outdoor gate?
The Yale Digital Door Viewer Auto Imaging 5800 internal view screen is not IP rated, meaning it is not waterproof or weather-resistant. As such, it is intended for indoor use only and should not be installed in areas exposed to rain or moisture.
