I did argued that myself in another thread but rather there are protected or paid sources that still need distribution: cable, satellite, etc these can’t be replicated at every TV, until the industry totally changes to streaming only then and only then VD can RIP
This was a few months back, but I installed a Motion Sensor at our Front Door, since that is where most of our Amazon and other Deliveries take place, and typically they don't knock or ring the bell. Using a text to voice engine I found on the web, I created an mp3 file: "Someone is at the front door. Someone is at the front door."
So when motion there is detected, I programmed a few actions:
The T3 in our Family Room, where we tend to hang out, brings up the Front Door Camera (using the DS2 Mini present there)
An announcement is made on the T3: "Someone is at the front door. Someone is at the front door."
An email is sent to me, with a camera snapshot from the DS2 Mini.
Nothing fancy or elaborate but I really like having this in place.
Occasionally the dog next door will check out the front porch and trigger a false positive, but that doesn't happen often.
