- How to Stop Package Thieves
With the rise of online shopping and home delivery, package theft has become a growing problem across America.
Study shows nearly 40% of consumers have been victims of package theft and holiday shoppers in Arizona are the ninth most at-risk state. Tucson outdid the state and was among the top 25 in the country for larceny thefts.
Installing simple security systems like outdoor cameras, smart doorbells, smart locks, motion sensors, etc. can greatly reduce the risk of porch pirates, and other larceny-theft from your doorsteps.
Connect Security provides state-of-the-art home security solutions to prevent package thefts in Amado, Tombstone, Eloy, Benson, and other Greater Tucson areas.
Protect Your Parcels from Porch Pirates
Porch pirates are always on the outlook for opportunities to steal your valuable packages. They come to your doorsteps, ring the bell to confirm no one is at home, and swipe away with the parcel.
Some even follow the delivery van to jot down targets. No sooner has the delivery man left, than the thief vanishes away with your parcel before you can even open the door.
More alarming is how they are coming up with new schemes to steal packages every day. Such as the incidence of a porch pirate pretending to be an Amazon employee wearing an Amazon vest to steal deliveries.
According to C+R Research’s Package Theft Statistics Report 2019, the average cost to replace a stolen item is around $109. Add to that the additional hassle of contacting the seller, delivery service provider, and police, and the uncertainty of whether your stolen item could be found or the porch pirate would be caught at all.
All these financial and mental stress can be eased by installing an integrated home security system at your home.
Foil Porch Pirates from Stealing Packages in Tucson, Arizona
Outdoor Cameras
Outdoor cameras with high definition video quality and night vision can give 24/7 surveillance of your entrance and surroundings up to several feet. This ensures you have a constant watch out for any burglary.
Doorbell Camera
82% of Americans believe doorbell cameras provide “peace of mind”.
When someone approaches your front door, doorbell cameras detect the motion and send you an alert through its free app so that you can have a real-time view from your Smartphone. If there is a potential thief that you are suspecting, you can use the two-way audio feature to warn them away.
Doorbell cameras can even record videos. So if you miss a porch pirate in the act, you will have clues and evidence for the crime and this will help you to retrieve your stolen package.
Smart locks
One way to significantly reduce package stealing is by getting the product delivered inside the house. This can be made feasible safely, without you having to be physically present at home, by installing a smart lock.
When the delivery driver rings your doorbell camera, triggering an alert on your Smartphone, you can see, communicate, and verify the person. Once verified, you can unlock the door from your phone and let him leave the package inside and then you can lock it again.
Professional Security Monitoring
Being at work it is not possible for you to keep checking up on your home every now and then. When on a family vacation the last thing you would want to do is worry about your parcel being stolen.
Professional monitoring stations monitor your home 24/7. So when an emergency alarm signal is received, a trained security professional assesses the situation and quickly alerts concerned authorities such as local law enforcement.
