Wendy’s Real Tips to Stop Porch Pirates
The game is just for fun. Looking for real porch pirate protection Royal Palm Beach homeowners can count on? These are the same tips we give customers across Palm Beach County.
Cover the walkway, not just the door
Most doorbell cameras only see a face once someone is already at the door. Add a camera that covers the walkway and driveway so you have the person on video from the sidewalk to the steps.
Turn on person detection
Palm fronds, lizards, iguanas and headlights set off basic motion alerts all day long. Cameras with AI person detection only ping your phone for actual people, so you pay attention when it counts.
Let them see the cameras
A visible camera and a security yard sign make a lot of porch pirates keep walking. Hidden cameras help you catch a thief. Visible cameras help stop the theft in the first place. Use both.
Light up the porch
A motion light over the front door makes anyone walking up feel like they are on stage. It also gives your cameras a clearer picture at night.
Plan the drop-off
Ask carriers for a delivery photo, use a package lockbox, or schedule deliveries for when someone is home. Big-ticket items can go to your office or a pickup locker instead.
Keep the recording where a thief can’t grab it
A wired system records to a recorder inside your home, so the footage is safe even if someone yanks a camera off the wall. That is one reason we prefer wired systems over battery cameras.
