That's exactly what I thought too. I have a somewhat rambling house and
although I have a portable "ringer" if I am at the top of the house or
the bottom of the garden, delivery guys are sometimes gone by the time
I get there.

Not quite sure how a video doorbell is going to help with that? Much
easier ways of telling someone who rings the bell you're in and coming
to the door.

I'm thinking of having it play a short audio file that warns them I may
take a minute or two getting to the front door.
