My house doesn't have one. Gotta knock and I don't hear it a lot of the time. Fancy camera one? DIY chime for the fun of it?

Just get a traditional doorbell and install a security camera with CCTV or network that you can control. DO NOT give someone else a window into your home, even if it is just the front door.

This!! I refuse to get a camera on my house that has a backdoor that the govt can access. Why give up any of my right to privacy?

I'm short and wear glasses and can't freaking use the peephole on my door. I have a camera that is not connected to any outside service (I use Zoneminder to maintain it) that aims out my window at my door and a thingy that is just a video peephole - completely not connected to the internet or anything else.

don't get a "smart" doorbell.

Just last year AWS us-east-1 went down and people were locked out of their houses for days.

Hilarious. Don't enslave yourself to machines.

We have a electric key pad deadbolt. It is not "smart" and a regular key can be used. I'm OK with this type. Its nice not having to take your keys with you all the time.

At least have a way to see your doorstep without exposing yourself.

Regular old style doorbell. Simple and easy.

But it needs pyrotechnics and laser shows, too.

Then you want the Military Defense Doorbell, guaranteed to mow down angry mobs of 25 or less. It is pricey, and occasionally self-triggers on Jehovah's witnesses and POC, at no extra charge.

Nicky nicky nine door. Not worth it. Just get a porch camera with an alert when there's activity.

Don't bother with a doorbell. Get outdoor motion sensors instead. They're not expensive and the ones I bought years ago are still working great. I really freaks people out when you answer the door before they knock or ring.

Get a Labrador/retriever. If anyone knocks in the door, they will hear it and start barking. You also get the added benefit of having the love of a being that is capable on inflicting injuries or death on anyone that is perceived as a threat.

I find a dog way better than anything else. Mine alert me when people pull into the drive (gravel), nevermind the door.

No one I WANT at my home comes by without prior notification anyway, maybe you just need to train people better?

Yes, I invited you. Don't you remember? Did I never answer the door?

Try to find an alternative to the ring as they just fucked their customers and locked them outta features that were free when they bought the doorbell but now they require $10 monthly for basic features like turning ur cam off etc, as after the update it's always in a running state. Some real scumbag shit, louis rossman does a good piece about it on yt recently
