Having a door camera is worth it for many reasons. I can check at my desk when working if a deliver truck just drove by so I can pull my packages in immediately. We have Wyze that is powered from a light socket. We hang it high to get a good view, but it costs nothing to run monthly and we can access it anywhere.

If I don't know the person, I don't answer the door. It's the same with my phone. Most of our knocks are solicitors (No BBC boogie man in Texas). We're armed so it's not as huge a concern for us as much as other things (car break ins). We had a neighbor on another street however who had someone coming to her door who was drugged out but also had some mental problems. They weren't doing anything wrong, just saying crazy things.

I don’t think that kind of approach is healthy. Guns, as I’m sure you can appreciate, are deadly in the wrong hands. And there are too many of those hands roaming about the U.S.

That's a relief.

…ahhhh, I’m glad that you know who it was and the reason for it all…but it was hugely scary for you, a female living alone and someone knocking at her window at 1am was completely thoughtless…that was only ever going to scare you as it did…I mean, if you had phoned the police and if they came and hauled him off to face questioning and then spend a night in their care etc…for instance…he would maybe have understood the seriousness of his thoughtlessness when he was on the other side of that scare, which is where he placed you…anyway, no more leak..?…no more scary neighbour …a ring or blink doorbell is a good plan though if you’re able to get one fitted…?..you’d obviously been able to see who it was…mind you, it’s still not advisable to open the door to idiot neighbours at 1am either ….
