I bought an inexpensive camera and monitor,,,
I bought an inexpensive camera and monitor,,,
With tax it was less that $180.00.
I live in a small very old town,,,
Rental rates are cheap so we have a problem,,,
Lotsa low-life people rent here and aren't good neighbors.
Now realize I do not live my life in a constant state of alert,,,
But some things are simply not smart things to do,,,
Like open my door to a knock late in the evening.
My cat tells me when someone starts up my deck steps,,,
The motion detector turns on the front porch light,,,
That's when I touch the "view camera" button.
I never open the door at all for someone I don't know,,,
If they have legitimate business with me,,,
They should come during the daytime.
I peeved off a deputy county sheriff when I wouldn't open my door,,,
But you know what, I don't care how angry he gets,,,
He can state his business to a closed door.
He's a cop in an iffy location for crying out loud,,,
He should understand a person's reluctance to open their door.
And yes, if it's late in the evening,,,
I will have a gun in hand if/when I decide to open the door.
Uniforms are too easy to get ahold of these days.
