I had my door kicked in while I was watching TV. Idiot neighborhood kids. Anyway, in the moment I realized that I had to pass by the freshly kicked front door to get to my nearest firearm. Poor planning. I fixed that.
The front door of my home is not there to protect my family and valuables. It is their to protect the dirt bags from me.

Do most people here live behind locked doors? My front door stays locked but the side doors are generally unlocked when we are home. No one needs to kick my door in when I'm watching TV, they can just walk right in. If someone did walk in (or even approach the house) my dog would light up like a Christmas tree to give me warning. During normal hours though, I doubt I'd go retrieve a gun unless there was someone very deranged looking in the driveway or on the front porch.
Both of them phone home. I bought a wyze cam, found out they have to be activated through an account on a web site, threw it in a drawer and haven't touched it. I understand there are 3rd party flash updates that let you turn it into a stand alone or local server cam, but haven't looked into it yet.
I wouldn't want anything that depends upon outside internet or talks with manufacturer's servers. When the net is down they are useless.
Having no kids around makes things a little easier. The primary bedroom firearm is a M14s, loaded 20 round mag in the rifle, round chambered. Battle pack with ten extra loaded mags, Peltor Tac 7 hearing protection, safety glasses, and a Streamlight PROTAC HL-X light. One more thing to add. The ammo is clad steel jacketed rounds.
I will let it slip I have a Saiga 12 with a 20 round drum... ready.
Crowd pleaser, even if I miss.

So no good then if you arent using it?
Ring cameras(and other brands) are fairly cheap and easy to install anywhere. They are motion detecting with night vision and send real time alerts to your phone whenever something moves around your house.
Battery operated so no wiring and they need to be charged every few months but very simple and effective! Subscription for each camera is about $7 per month.
I don't care for their data sharing policies. If I want you to have access to video of my family arriving or leaving from my house I'll send it to you.
