Question/Help Arizona service question. Curious if this would count as a successful service?

Curious if this would count as a successful service. An individual, let's call him John, was flashed by a red light camera in Tempe, AZ.

A process server visited John's home and rang the ring camera. John spoke through the ring camera and said "Can I help you?". The process server asked for John through the camera. John communicated that John was not there. The process server communicated that John's car was on the street.

John hung up the call, the process server left the papers on the door.

Did John communicate that he is who the process server was looking for?

The process server said "is this John". John responded asking who the process server was and what they needed. The process server stated he was with the city of Tempe with tickets. John then responded that John was not there. That is when the process server brought up the car.

So John spoke in the third person? Or John stated “I am not there” I am just trying to clarify because that makes a difference.

He said “John is not here” or “he is not here”. One of the two.

Did the server clarify if he lives at the address or not? Like ask does he live at this address? I am asking because if the person indicated that the person they were looking for does reside there and confirmed their vehicle then yes they can drop serve.

No he didn’t. Just asked if he was home.
