Sounds to me like getting one of these would take a lot of the excitement out of being burgled. It's not for me. 

Tricky one.

Is it more thrilling to come home and find you've been burgled or to be able to watch it live?

[Bully Wee Villa]

I think the most exciting would be being stabbed to death by an unexpected intruder. If you've already seen them at the door on a phone app, the actual stabbing would be an anticlimax.

Imagine paying £25 a year so you can tell potential burglars you're on holiday.

isn't that what social medias for?

£25 a year to lose the excuse that I didn't hear the doorbell ring? No thanks.

[resk]

I have no hoose or stuff. Sorted.

Is that you just paid your yearly doorbell subscription then?

[Shandon Par]

Don’t see what’s wrong with having intruders shot on site or the hounds being released. The old ways are the best.

So what did your camera catch over the past year for £25?

Think he’s on his holidays. A good reminder to use the back door.

Maybe you've fitted it too low.

Maybe you've fitted it too low.

It's on a wedge

When I saw the thread title i thought it was a modern version of the classic children's game chap door run away.

Aren't you supposed to have it looking outside your house rather than inside?

He's paid £25 and stuck a fucking mirror on his door. Oh my days.

Quote

On December 4, 2019, shortly after 8 pm, while Ms LeMay was running errands, both of the Ring devices began live-streaming. Simultaneously, the Tiny Tim cover of “Tiptoe Through the Tulips”, a song that appeared in a scene from the 2020 horror film “Insidious”, began to play through the two-way talk feature. Intrigued by the music, Ms LeMay’s eight-year-old daughter, AL, went to the room she shares with two of her younger sisters to investigate. But the room was empty. As AL wandered the room, looking for the source of the music, the song abruptly stopped, and a man’s voice rang out: “Hello there.”

I shouldn't laugh.

Aaaaaand that would be why I'm content with a bell that merely goes ding dong.

Might buy one of the doorbells in the hope that someone hacks it and abuses my neighbours for me.
