I recently got access to the Ring camera at my house. It’s technically my mom’s, but she just gave me access.
About 10 minutes ago, the Ring camera alerted me to someone at the front door. I’m pretty sure it was my neighbor’s wife. She was wearing pajamas, standing in the corner near the porch area. She stayed for a bit, then just walked away. Very odd.
I asked my mom if she noticed it, and she said this has been happening multiple times! What could she possibly be doing just standing there?
At first, I thought she might be trying to lure me outside, and maybe someone was hiding nearby. But it doesn’t make sense because she didn’t even ring the doorbell or come closer. Maybe she’s trying to signal for help? Could she be in some kind of trouble?
If your houses look alike, it could be confusion, maybe sleepwalking or dementia. Next time, try talking to her through the Ring camera and see what she says.

Sometimes people let their pets out without a leash at night, hoping they’ll go quickly so they can get back to bed. Maybe the pet wandered over to your porch, and she was just waiting for it.
If it’s a dog and that’s its favorite spot, you could try using a pet repellent to keep it away. Just an idea.
I didn’t know how to use it before, but I’ll give it a try.
It’s easy! Just open the live view, turn on the mic and speaker, and speak normally. Don’t talk at the same time as the other person though, or you’ll cancel each other out.

I have, and in my experience, most people are at least willing to shout through the door if they don’t want to open it. Or they install an intercom. They usually don’t just ignore it and then ask online what’s happening.

I have no clue what’s going on.
Could be dementia. Age doesn’t always matter, some people have early onset dementia.

Post the video so we can see. It could be Alzheimer’s or dementia. People sometimes act strangely once it gets dark.
