      scenario: doorbell rings in middle of night

      Curious what others would do if you were awakened in the middle of the night by the doorbell ringing. Seems the mainstream advice is to not "clear the house" if you suspect an intruder has broken in, but what about if someone knocks on the door?

      Home Defense Shotguns

      Suggestions for Do-it-Yourself Window Alarms?

      I'm researching self-installed window alarms. I'm not interested in subscribing to an alarm company right now. I want to buy some simple electronic devices that run on batteries, and can detect whether a window has been broken. If a window is broken, the device should emit an audible alarm...
