We're on a hilltop behind a locked gate up a 1/3 mile road surrounded by many acres of oak, pine, sagebrush, etc. If someone knocks on the door they are either on foot or have crashed the gate. It did happen one night. Two kids, about 13, holding skateboards had come from the cemetary (on the other side of the hill). They were lost, scared, and it was dark. I kindly walked them down to the gate and showed them the way back into town. On the walk, quail in the brush were disturbed and rustled around. The kids were afraid the sound was mountain lions.
There is an institution for the criminally insane some 7 miles up the river, which in on the other side of the hill, across from the cemetary. Every once in awhile somebody escapes. That could be problematic if they showed up at our door.
If I lived in a high traffic urban area, I think I would invest in a closed circuit camera to cover the front porch/door area.
