With the increasing proliferation of package deliveries, porch thefts have become as common as ever. There\u2019s a few deterrent and active security based measures that home and business owners can use to help discourage package theft – in this blog entry, the security and access control installation experts<\/a> here at SOS Locksmith<\/a> will provide detail as to combating porch theft.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Easy Porch Theft Deterrents<\/h2>\n

Some of these options include ensuring that packages are delivered to your job – or asking a neighbor who\u2019s regularly home to accept your deliveries. You could arrange to have packages delivered to a friend or relative – or even ask the post office to hold your packages until you get them. Another option is having packages delivered to an Amazon locker. You can also ask your mail and\/or delivery person to leave packages in a more hidden area than your front door – although, this strategy isn\u2019t foolproof, as some package thieves might be watching to observe where delivery people leave packages.<\/p>\n

Effective Technological Porch Theft Deterrents<\/h2>\n

Consider utilizing a smart doorbell technology, like Amazon doorbell – or even Amazon Key, which allows you to automatically remotely open your property for easy package delivery. You can utilize a platform called Boxlock, which allows mailpeople to put packages in securely locked mailboxes with a smart padlock that only opens when you\u2019re expecting a package. Lastly, make sure to install a high quality home security camera at your property. You can even register your security camera with local law enforcement. Security cameras have the additional benefit of acting like a strong deterrent for even potential criminals.<\/p>\n
