Door Camera

In a perfect world, answering the door would be completely safe, even at night. However, in this day and age, people have to be careful that a potential guest isn’t an attacker.

Cannon Security Products has introduced a neat way to see who is at the door, without placing a homeowner in jeopardy. The Digital Door Viewer can be installed on most doors and programmed to take photos or video of all visitors, even in low-light areas. It can be set to turn on when the doorbell rings, or with its motion detector, and it stores those images on a Micro SD card by date and time.

At almost $300, the camera is not cheap, but the added security could be well worth the price. You can view who is at the door on its LCD display from a safe location. Also, you can learn who is walking up to your door, whether it’s a delivery person, prankster or scoping the house with bad intentions.

I have to agree with “More thoughtful” on answering the door. An unanswered door is an open invitation to a burglar. But, I also have a sturdy security screen door between the person and myself, not to mention the Model 37 in my pocket.

Agreed. I don't open email from unknown senders and I don't open my door to unknown people. If they are up to no good I would just as soon deal with it now, rather than have them return tomorrow when I might not be home.

If you fail to respond to a front door knock, the next sound you may hear is the back door being kicked in. Generally better to let a potential bad guy know that someone is home, even if you have to yell through the door.

Here's a cheaper alternative. If you are not expecting company and there is a knock on the door, instead of answering the door, go get your gun and keep it at hand until whoever is knocking goes away or attempts to enter, at which time you take preventative measures. (You can do an Uncle-Joe=Biden and get your old double barrel and shoot through the door, but Uncle Chuck doesn't really recommend that. You can only do it if the Secret Service hanging around your house says it is okay.) There is no law that says just because the Fuller Brush man is knocking on the door you have to open it.
