Answer 1

Your link didn't work, so I don't know what answer you don't want.

Yeah, you could use a door peephole, but the easiest way to fake a fisheye distortion is with Photoshop.  Take a picture at the widest angle (zoomed all the way out).  Open it in Photoshop and go to Filter -> Distort -> Len Correction.  

When the filter dialog opens up, move the remove distortion slider to the negative range.  This distorts like a fisheye would.

Of course a door peephole uses optics to create the effect, so it will be more accurate and could give you a wider angle of view, though it will almost definitely cut down on image quality.
