20 People Share The Most Bizarre Things They've Caught On Their Doorbell Cameras
By now, you will have heard of the doorbell camera phenomenon - that's if you don't already own one of these babies yourself. The idea, of course, is that you can have a surveillance camera attached to your doorbell, allowing you to see what's going on outside your front door, or even across the street.
Doorbell cameras are generally attached to an app, where you can access and be alerted to footage of activity on your doorstep. They also allow you to communicate with people at your door via the app.
So, if you're not at home and someone rings your doorbell, you can see and talk to that person through your phone. What are the benefits?
Well, obviously, security is a huge one. But also the convenience of being able to tell a delivery man to "just leave the parcel at the door" or to tell your friend you'll "just be a minute."
