I have a friend who lives in town and they just had a incident happen. His wife was home alone and heard someone trying to force the front door handle and then seen a shadow figure, and then he was gone. They don't have a peep hole or anything and understandably his wife is shaken. None of us are tech'y and I wanted to ask for them, what kind of security measures can be taken like peep holes or cameras with a phone app or something? I hate to think what might have happened if she didn't lock the door because we just got word it was a guy that was trying doors throughout the street. Any help would be appreciated.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

the ring door bell or something like it you can pull out your phone and check the door.
It connects to the house wifi and you have an app on your phone , you can pay for online storage also.
my dad has a small motion and sound sensor camera he leaves on the table that looks out the window it sends him an alert when there is motion outside. many options not a lot of tech needed if you can open an account , load and app and get your phone on wifi you should be able to set these up.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Ok, but I don't understand. Does this doorbell pick up motion and start recording without someone ringing the bell?

Sorry Catch 22. Yes it works via motion and you can set sensitivity and range for it to work. The girlfriend's bell has a very wide area that it records and the the video is high quality. The sound pick up is good also. You can speak and hear whoever or whatever is at the door. She has a cardinal that comes to her porch and sets off the camera and you can hear it also. Hope this clears it up some. It does and I thank you lestan. I will start researching this thing and give them the info I find. I sure appreciate it because I know there has always been crime but it sure seems different and more frequent now. They haven't caught this guy yet but a couple people did call the cops.

One other thing I have been meaning to buy is fake security cams. Just mount them where they are noticeable. Some move and some have a red LED on them. They be a deterrent to some bad guys. Most are battery operated.

if it wasn't safe to leave doors unlocked while at home I would move. seriously. you in a federal housing project?

a loud dog and an ADT sign will make em think about about. the ring doorbells are good too - https://ring.com/apparently you can get a "ring" sign like the ADT signs my wife's aunt got one a few years back, and we installed it in place of the old doorbell in about 10 minutes. it connects to your internet and sends alerts to your phone too, so you can see when someone is at the door.

Thanks for the video links bowhunter and ranger. Danny, lol, no we don't live in the projects. I truly don't know what the heck is going on anymore, people are bold and try stuff even in broad daylight. A few weeks ago there was a gal that drove around picking up random things and putting them in her car. She had it full of stuff before the cops finally showed up.
