I knock on doors all day long. I show up to many homes and the folks in there have no idea I am coming.

One day years ago I came across a Ring doorbell. I pressed the button, noticed the camera on it, it made a funny jingle then some dude came on over the speaker.

"Can I help you?"

I explain who I am, why I am there and I will only be in the yard

"Go, ahead and do your thing"

I have no idea if he is in the house on the toilet, in his office across town or in an airport half way across the world, all I know is he just spoke to me.

I wrote down the name and ordered one the next day.

Then I purchased a second, motion activated camera for the back of my house.

We have zero crime here, I purchased the back yard one more for hurricanes, if and when I evacuate.

I just like the tech and think it is a fantastic deterrent to crime.

My doorbell also has a motion sensor, which I mentioned in the Fedex thread. If anyone even walks up to my front door I get a notification on my phone and the event is stored on a cloud for 30 days.
