For an extra bonus, if the person harassing you is a man just use the fact that you're a woman and were scared of him as an excuse to punish him further.
Also, I would say just let the dogs attack and put them in their place if getting nearest heavy object and using it on them isn't an option.
Alternatively, if you go the camera route, use the recording to file a police report for harassment.
At least, that's how I would handle it.

Hey Darkness! ❤
Awesome to hear from you again! As far as the camera thing - it is four of us in an enclosed inside apartment building. The door leading outside the building itself does not lock. That's the one that leads to the hallway and ultimately connects to the outside and outside light. Each of our individual apartments have locking doors but they only have peepholes, no windows. I have a living room window facing the parking lot, but she normally parks away from my window and out of view and the building door entry is also out of view. If I put a camera outside my door, it would just be ripped off and stolen or thrown away. So I don't know how to do that in a working way here bc we are not allowed to mount anything on the outside of the building itself.
It's a woman I am having issues with so yeah both are good advice but not feasible (that I can see) in this situation. Today she has been trying to cause a ruckus with our dogs either by making as much noise as possible in her apartment or by making a bunch of noise outside our door and lingering longer than needed as she passes by. So its aggravating but not sure what to do til I can speak to landlady (Now that we have spoken, I can speak to landlady)
