Peephole
View through a peephole
A peephole, peekhole, spyhole, doorhole or door viewer, is a small opening through a door allowing an individual to look from the inside to the outside.
In a door, usually for apartments or hotel rooms, a peephole allows the person behind the door the security of seeing outside without opening the door. Glass peepholes are often fitted with a fisheye lens to allow a wider field of view from the inside and little to no visibility from the outside.[1]
