How to Stop Porch Pirates From Stealing Your Packages

Utilize Smart Security Cameras

Visible security cameras are the number one deterrent for opportunistic thieves. Install a video doorbell that provides motion alerts directly to your phone. If you catch someone in the act, use the two-way talk feature to let them know they are being recorded, which is often enough to scare them off.

Secure Delivery Points

If you aren't home, consider using 'Hold for Pickup' services at local pharmacies or shipping centers. If you must have packages delivered to your doorstep, a locked drop-box or a hidden delivery area obscured from street view can significantly decrease your risk of theft.
