Who it’s for / Renovations

When someone was on site, and for how long.

Renovating while you’re at work? Peekaboo notes when the crew was first and last seen each day, with a frame behind each time. Useful when you’re wondering when the crew was on site, or whether the tiles were seen arriving.

Two example messages from an invented Tuesday.

A Tuesday on the job.

An invented day at a kitchen job on Alder Lane, with front door, driveway and side gate cameras.

  • A doorbell camera’s view from a porch early in the day: a lawn, parked cars and houses across the road under a yellow sky. Nobody is in view.

    Front Door

    Example photo

    Not seen. The crew not seen by 8 AM. 4 pictures read, last at 7:50 AM.

  • A night camera picture so dark and grainy that almost nothing can be made out.

    Side Gate

    Example photo

    Couldn’t confirm. Couldn’t check the gate. Too dark or unclear to tell at 5:00 PM.

Example photos, not pictures Peekaboo read. The first stands in for the last picture read before 8:00.

An invented Tuesday · crew expected 7 to 8

  1. No crew seen by 8:00. 4 pictures read, last at 7:50, so you got a heads-up with that picture.
  2. 2 workers in high visibility vests and a white van seen.
  3. Last seen, 5 h 25 min after first seen.
  4. Couldn’t check the side gate. Its camera was too dark to read at the 5:00 look. Peekaboo said so, and didn’t guess open or closed.

The week at a glance.

Each line runs from when the crew was first seen to when they were last seen that day, with no gap of more than 45 minutes between sightings.

The frames behind each time are there to open, so you can see what the camera saw.

An invented week. In the app, each day’s times come from your routine: first seen, then last seen as long as sightings stay within 45 minutes of each other. Ask lists them.

What it notes, and what it doesn’t.

  • By role and kit, never by name.

    Peekaboo describes people by what the picture shows: “2 workers in high visibility vests, a white van”. You know who your plumber is.

  • The crew should know.

    Anyone working on site should know the camera is there. Tell them before the job starts.

  • It can be wrong, so check the pictures.

    A short visit can fall between pictures. We tested how Peekaboo reads bins, gates, garage doors and driveways, and it isn’t where we want it yet.

Routines for a project.

Set them for the length of the job, then switch them off.

  1. “Crew between 7 and 8 on weekdays.”

    Should happenFront door camera, weekdays, 7 to 8 AM

    What you’d get“The crew not seen by 8 AM”, then “The crew wasn’t seen on the Front Door camera between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM. 4 pictures read, last at 7:50 AM. A short visit can fall between pictures.”

  2. “At 5 PM on weekdays, is the side gate closed?”

    Look-checkSide gate camera, weekdays

    What you’d get“Gate: open at 5:00 PM”, then “Checked at 5:00 PM on the Side Gate camera.”

  3. “Tiles delivered by Thursday noon.”

    Should happenFront door camera, Thursdays, 6 AM to noon

    What you’d getIf they aren’t seen: “The tiles not seen by noon”, then “The tiles weren’t seen on the Front Door camera between 6:00 AM and 12:00 PM. 24 pictures read, last at 11:50 AM.”

  4. “Tell me if the dumpster is still there at 5 PM Friday.”

    Look-checkDriveway camera, Fridays

    What you’d get“Dumpster: still there at 5:00 PM”, then “Checked at 5:00 PM on the Driveway camera.”

    When you write this one, Peekaboo says: “We haven’t tested this one yet.”

  5. “When did the crew come this week?”

    QuestionWith that routine, on Plus and up

    What you’d get“Crew, 7 AM–8 AM: Tue: not seen by 8:00 AM, first seen 9:35 AM; Mon: ✓ 7:55 AM, seen until 4:15 PM (8 h 20 min).”

What you’d get is the alert’s title, then its text, as Peekaboo writes them, from invented days.

Project

$9.99a month, planned

Everything in Plus, and:

  • Proof pages you can share: first and last seen times, with the frames they cite

Routines like these, and first and last seen times, work on every plan. Planned price that may change. Nothing can be bought yet.
