I’m looking into installing a door lock w/ key pad at home for two use cases:
- I’m out of town and need to allow someone to enter my home, in an emergency or for any reason.
- Nice to have - “oh shit, did I lock the door” - ability to lock the door remotely from my phone, would also solve use case #1 by unlocking remotely.
If there are no privacy respecting / self hosted apps for remote control (use case #2), then a “dumb” electronic lock w/ key pad that enables me to set a PIN that I can give to a friend or neighbor in a pinch and then reset the PIN after I get home, that would be good enough. If no such keypad/electronic locks exist, then my backup plan is to just make a few copies of my key for trusted friends & family and/or hide a key, but I’d like to explore the keypad route.
This is the route I took. All manual, multiple codes. There is a code for the gate, and a code for the door, per person I implicitly trust. With some 23 cameras on the property, I’m well aware of just about anything going down on my property while I am away.
I can’t help but wonder what else might be going on here.
Brown chicken, brown cow.
Actually, pretty spot on.
22 acres of farmland
One camera per acre + one in the bedroom?
LOL Well, it would seem like it works out that way but the only interior cams I have are in the living room and there is one in the lab. I’m not really into sex tapes. They always seem like a good idea at the time, but they have the potential to become quite litigious, and I try to stay out of courtrooms.
And by “lab” you mean “sex dungeon,” right?
They meant their dog.
Ah, so like an endoscope. Kinky.
