I've been thinking about the ultimate peephole video viewer for quite some time now... and yes, it would need to interface with either indigo or at least Evological's Evocam software (I think there is a plugin for indigo).
The camera would consist of an HD 720-P element that would look very much like a peephole on the outside... around the lens would be a combination of a microphone, IRLED's and PIR sensors to provide nighttime lighting and motion detection. IR-LEDs wouldn't really be needed much since my porches are lit with Hue bulbs and I have separate motion detection. The back side of the door would have a small 4" color display with a small PCB under it for continuous wifi streaming and a rechargeable Li+ battery. The battery would be charged with inductive chargers built into the hing side of the door. Any time the door was closed, the Li+ battery would be getting a charge. I figure that a simple 5V/1000mA inductive charging look could be embedded in the door with little visibility. The door side of the inductive charger would require about 5 to 10W of power, but would keep the wireless peephole camera sending images 24/7.
Anyone seen something like this?
There are several inductive chargers on the market already for $10 to $20 in kit form:
