I had a really terrible problem that kept on happening to me recently. Every time i would order something online or get any delivery to my house, I would have issues receiving my package. Either the mail man would see I was not home and leave a note instead, or the packages would end up at my neighbors door and it would be a headache getting my stuff. I found this excellent little device that helps me keep an eye on things called the Ring Video Doorbell.

This little thing is so handy and allows me to look in on my door whenever I wand from wherever I want. It also sends me alerts if someone is at the door, then I can open the app and communicate directly with the delivery person. Now if I get a package when I am away I can just tell them to leave it out on the porch in front of the camera. That lets me keep an eye on the package until I can get home to receive it.

The Ring Video Doorbell also has a button to act like a regular doorbell and replaced my old one. Now I always know who is at my door before I even open it. Just that alone gets rid of so much stress for me! The device is part of the Amazon Alexa ecosystem of smart home devices and can be controlled by Alexa smart speakers, as well as your phone. This really has helped out a lot with my day to day life and I honestly couldn’t go back to no having one.
