Answering the Door

• Don't open your door at the sound or a knock or bell. Know who's at your door before opening it. Install a wide-angle peephole in your front door so you can look out without being seen yourself.
• Don't rely on chain locks for security. They're only good for privacy.
• Don't open the door to a delivery or service person unless you are expecting a package or a call. Ask for the person's name and the name and phone number of the company. Call it to confirm the visit. Keep the door closed and locked in the meantime.
• Check photo registration card before dealing with any solicitors, peddlers, interviewers, etc. These persons are required to obtain a card from the SDPD and display it on the front of their clothing. They are allowed to solicit only between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. except by appointment. Call their agency to verify their identity.
• Call the SDPD if a solicitor does not have a registration card. Use the non-emergency numbers, 619-531-2000 or 858-484-3154. And provide the dispatcher with a good description of the person.
• Post a NO SOLICITING sign if you don't want any solicitor to ring your door bell, knock on your door, or make any other sound to attract your attention.
• Ask for photo identification before letting in anyone you don't know. Check out the identification with the company or agency if you are suspicious.
• Never let a stranger enter your home to use the telephone. Offer to make the call yourself in an emergency.
• Consider getting a dog that will bark when someone is at the door.
• Call 911 if the person at the door is aggressive in knocking or ringing the doorbell, or is otherwise threatening.
• If you don't want to answer the door and don't want the person there to think that no one is home, say something like "We can't come to the door now," or "We don't open the door to strangers."

Very good.

P.S. They won’t ask if you’ve been vaccinated. They know who has, so they know who hasn’t.

Talk from a window

I was wondering if you can speak to the visitor through your cell phone. It didn’t mention it, so I assume it doesn’t. Still, recording on an SD is pretty darn good in any case.

[Mr. Lucky]

OK, now that’s truly creepy.

[Keyhopper]

Ya got to be dressed like buffalo bob from the movie silence of the lambs.

Arm yourself. You don’t have to open the door and have a confrontation but with strangers at your door you should arm yourself.

Anytime my doorbell rings, it's someone I'm not expecting.

Some days I answer with my AR-15 in my hands. Some days it's my 45acp and the rest of the time it's with my shotgun.

I don't know why people tend to leave my property in a big hurry. I was just cleaning and checking my firearms like any good firearm owner would in today's times. Have to be ready for the STHTF.

I’ve had this same tagline since November, 2020. I’ve never seen a reason to change it.

I was wondering if you can speak to the visitor through your cell phone.

No it doesn't have a speaker or speaker output. The SDXC storage is quite convenient, I use a 128gb that could likely store 6 months worth of the 10 second recordings. I have two and swap them out now and then to offload the data onto backup drives for long term storage. You can still download the clips to your phone as well, set notifications on or off, turn off the led, etc.

[MayflowerMadam]

Thank you!

[Big Red Badger]

Works for me!
My tag typically is
to remind me,
Keeps me focused.

If Biden’s thugs want to stop the spread of covid they need to take control of our borders and the millions of people fleeing covid infused hellholes...

Lots of folks from the countries listed below crossing the US border illegally and being spread into our cities by Biden and his thugs - every day...
