Ring doorbells and cameras

We purchased our first Ring doorbell while still in Minnesota. It gave us visibility to people at our front door which was downstairs.

We purchased our first Ring doorbell while still in Minnesota. It gave us visibility to people at our front door which was downstairs.

When we got to Kentucky, we added another doorbell, so we had both primary entrances covered. We added cameras outside the house to watch the dog. It was also a good addition to security.

We have since added some cameras inside the house. These cameras allow Sheila to keep an eye on me if she is doing something inside or outside the house. The combination of cameras has improved our convenience, security, and safety.

We are using smart house technology to give Steve more independence throughout the house. We use a combination of hardware and apps to make this work.

On a separate note, I have generally been opposed to smart house technology because I work in data and security and understand the risk. However, I realized that the benefit outweighs the risk. These apps definitely improved my quality of life. – Steve
