Let’s face it: if you’re reading this it’s probably because you’ve either had a package stolen in the past, or you’re worried about it happening in the future. Maybe it’s both!
Either way, porch piracy is a huge problem right now across the US, which has pushed a lot of us toward looking for the best ways to keep our packages safe.
Ring doorbells have become a popular solution for a lot of online shoppers, but how effective are they? Read on to find out the pros and cons of Ring doorbells and how well they work when it comes to keeping your packages safe.
Ring doorbells, like a traditional doorbell, let’s you know when someone is at your front door. However, there’s a twist. As the name suggests, they’re integrated with small video cameras so you can see who’s knocking without going to see for yourself.
Unlike some traditional security cameras, most video doorbells come with motion sensor technology that you can connect with your phone. That means you can get live alerts whenever any movement is detected outside your home.
A lot of them also come with a two-way audio service. With this, you can actually have a conversation with the person stood on your porch. Pretty cool, right?
But, while all these features are pretty neat, do they actually help to prevent package theft?
Let’s find out…
When you install a Ring doorbell, a few of their features may help to deter a porch pirate from stealing your package.
For a potential thief, knowing that their actions are going to get caught on camera might be enough to deter them from stealing your stuff. Also, if you catch someone shady hanging out on your porch in real-time, being able to speak to them via your doorbell could scare them away.
However, unfortunately installing a Ring doorbell isn’t a sure-fire way of protecting your deliveries.
A Ring doorbell might help to deter a thief, but it’s not a guarantee. Someone who really wants to steal your package only needs to be resourceful enough to cover their face, and they’re you’ll have a hard time figuring out who they are (let’s not forget how common place face masks are now!).
Even if you do have video footage of your package being stolen – there’s not really much you can do about it.
Handing the footage over to the police is likely to come to nothing unfortunately, so let’s look at what else you can do to try and prevent package theft.
