Packages thieves are a nuissance, but you can deter less brazen one with a security camera.
Unless you’re willing to build a piranha-filled moat around your home and then surround it with barbed wire and wooden spikes, you’re not likely to prevent a determined porch pirate from plucking your holiday package right off your doorstep. However, a Ring doorbell or other security camera can at least serve as a possible deterrence against less brazen package thieves. You don’t have to spend big on one either, with plenty of models currently on sale.One of the less expensive options is the Ring Battery Doorbell that’s marked down to $59.99 at Amazon (save $40). This is the latest release (2024 model), and the current discount matches its all-time low price, which is great considering that Black Friday and Cyber Monday have both come and gone (with record online spending, no less).The latest model expands vertical coverage by 66% with the addition of head-to-toe video. As the model name implies, it’s battery powered and easy to charge (via USB-C).
