So for those wondering, I am sharing this from my mcmhomeanddecor.com blog. Enjoy!
Pictured above is the Ring Doorbell. Security should be synonymous with home. Pretty much gone are the days when folks could leave their homes and cars unlocked and feel fine about that. Yes, it's sad, but as things change, we must also come up with the ways and the means that make us comfortable.
Working from home, I felt a certain level of safety between being here and being here with my 115 lb Doberman. We also had bees that would come up on our porch to drink out of our fountain, by the hundreds on a hot day. I joked that I had great security but I really truly did. Most folks are not going to mess with a Doberman or bees and especially a combo of both.
When I began working outside the house more, security became a flag in my mind. People had mentioned the Ring doorbell and looking into it I was very impressed. Now that I own one, I will never ever be without it! It's wifi enabled and videotapes everything. But it also acts as an intercom, whereby you can answer the ring (even if someone is loitering on your doorstep but hasn't actually rung the bell) and talk to them as if you were home. It creeps some folks out in a good way! I WANT folks on my doorstep to wonder what I can see an do! I want them to wonder am I home. The device syncs with your smartphone so you get a door chime on your phone when someone is there. Ring also offers video cameras and a door chime so that you don't need to rely on always having your phone, such as when you are away but someone is still home, so they can hear the bell.
