Disassemble screw in lens assembly of door viewer 2. Remove internal lens 3. Place over the top of webcam lens 4. Find a way to attach (currently taped on) ## Notes Could probably use U-10347 with the same method and achieve the same results. Be careful and use something soft, these lenses easily scratch.
