Peeple is a technology company based in Austin, Texas. It is best known for its internet based peephole that allows users to see people outside their house using a mobile app. The Daily Mail referred to the company's product as "caller ID to your front door."[1]

History

Peeple was founded by Chris Chuter. In 2015, the company won $150,000 at a competition in the United Kingdom for its internet-enabled peephole.[2]

The company is sometimes confused with Peeple, a mobile application that allows users to rate other people based on their personalities, professionalism, and dating experience.[2] In September 2015, company founder Chris Chuter told Wired that his company began receiving negative feedback from people who believed his company was behind the mobile application.[2]
