They do, but I have always had an interest in advertising. I think it is a fascinating look at human psychology and think I would liked to have worked in it if it didn't mean becoming a ****.

Also, I do avoid the adverts, most of the time! You can't avoid them forever in a world where when you try and watch a 15 second clickbait video you first have to watch a thirty second advert.

Possibly. I've seen it used with headlines published on websites. It's as irritating as scrawling one's nails on a blackboard.

Having not seen the advert or know what way it works, I am going to hazard a guess and assume that that the "door bell" has some sort of motion sensor and camera built in to it and "rings" when motion is detected, in this case by the burglar? The owner who then has an app for the door bell can then see on his phone what or who is at his door and can speak directly through the door bell-would this be correct?

No, he presses the bell.  Why is he going near the front door at all? He is a sh*te burglar.

Makes sense really. If you ring the bell and there is no answer it is the perfect house to try and burgal cause its empty.

Why would that make it empty? I know plenty of people, including myself, who would never answer the door unless expecting somebody. Also, they might be in bed, in the shower etc. 
If I wanted to burgle somebody or a particular street, I would 'case the place' better than just turning up and ringing the bell.

you overestimate the intelligence of a lot of burglars.

I'm another of those almost never answer the door types. So much so that the regular telecom and other canvassers who regularly go door to door never come in any more as it's a non-answering household.It's great.

There's now a new one of those doorbell app ads where some lad is out walking his dog and tells the postman ringing his doorbell (through his phone) to leave the package with his neighbours .Hilarity then ensues when he says good boy to his dog and the royal mail lad thinks he's talking to him. Answering your doorbell on your phone is definitely the future.

Looking at it from a potential customer's point of view (I'm not, but anyway), I would want a product or service that will only work against f**king eejits.
Secondly, I'd be even less likely to purchase it after they have shown all the f**king eejits what not to do when robbing a house, or maybe it is a cunning plan to sell another product of theirs that catches burglars when they go around the back and is only available after purchasing the other yoke.
