I did mention last week that we had managed to find a new doorbell for Mom as hers had broken. This one, like the last, has got a nosey screen. So now whenever someone rings the bell she can see who it is ……and ….she now can speak to them too. She can find out exactly who they are and why they have come to the door.
We all feel she is safe and secure now. I hated the idea of her just having to open the door in the dark winter months not knowing who was going to be standing there.

Having one of those doorbells is always a good idea. I have one; but hubby never installed it.

@traceyjayne I well remember in Belfast in the 70s the fear we all had when there was a rap at the door at night. We always used to phone people in advance if we were going to visit them so not to terrify them with an unexpected knock on the door. We could have done with those fancy door bells with cameras then.

Doorbell Cameras are amazing. I've pissed a lot of people off, because I talked through them. I am not a fast person especially if I'm standing from the couch.

That is wonderful, I remember way back when I lived in NYC with my mom even for out apartment we could speak down to where the person stood ringing and could decide to ring back and let them in or not,

That's a really good solution. Hopefully she will feel safer now.
