The convenience and popularity of online shopping and package delivery also come with a rise in package theft. Valuables left outside during work hours are prime targets for theft, with over 120 million packages stolen in 2023 alone. To give you peace of mind beyond basic precautions, it's an excellent idea to invest in security measures for package delivery.
Why Your Packages Are a Target for Theft
If you live in a high-value area like Westchester, NY, or the surrounding counties and receive frequent deliveries, the threat of porch thieves is very real. Packages sitting out in the open, even for a short time, become targets for organized groups who operate in affluent areas.
There is also the often-overlooked risk of mailbox theft, in which criminals target sensitive financial documents, checks and personal information.
Preventing Package Theft From Your Home
You can implement a few security systems that work in tandem to address your package theft concerns, allowing
visibility and control over your deliveries.
Deter criminals with the following:
Surveillance
A custom-designed network of strategically placed, visible security cameras will act as a powerful deterrent. Recording software lets you provide authorities with evidence if needed. There is also potential for savings on home insurance if the insurer has a home security system policy.
Remote Access and Home Monitoring
With advanced capabilities such as wireless monitoring, motion-activated recording and zoom capabilities in modern
cameras, you gain an on-the-go command-and-control center. Control the system via a phone app and view live feeds.
You'll receive instant real-time alerts if any suspicious activity is detected, like an unknown person on your porch.
This access goes beyond security and helps you manage your home life, verifying service appointments or checking on children or pets.
Professional Services
DIY systems lack the robustness and reliability of a professionally installed system. When you choose an established company, you benefit from their experience and adherence to industry standards, often with certifications to back them up. Troubleshooting and support are other advantages — a professional should be available to you after installation so that if an issue arises, you're not left to deal with it yourself.
