95 percent of the folks I've known literally get them as a 'oh my Amazon package is here' device, not for security. Granted security is a bonus, but if you actually wanted security you'd get perimeter cams, not a doorbell with a very limited FoV.

Also for laziness. I’m not answering the door every time someone comes around to sell me solar panels or driveway seal coating, but there are people who I do want to answer for

Plus I suppose there’s “is my dog barking for a reason, or just another dog walking by?”
