Abstract: One embodiment pertains to a surveillance device having at least two video cameras contained within a housing of the surveillance device. The device is configured to couple to at least one side of a door. One of the two cameras is positioned on one side of the surveillance device in order to record video images on one side of the door while the another camera is positioned on an opposite side of the surveillance device to record video images on the other side of the door. As the door opens and closes, the two video cameras are able to record a wider, sweeping angle of the interior and exterior areas of the door. The surveillance device may be mounted onto the door at a height near the average height of a human in order to maximize image capture of people's faces as they enter or exit through the door.
