Parcel nicked. Camera suggestions

[katy81]

Just checking status of parcels I have incoming.

Got proof of delivery. But it isn't there neghibours no nothing.

My door overlooks where the post goes.

What's an easy/cheap camera/doorbell I can get with motion activation to see who the parcel thief is

Are you sure some sort of parcel box wouldn't be better? The moment they see a cam a mask is probably going on.

I'd make some suggestions but they'll just get nicked anyway.

We use to. But they changed the door to some upvc crap with 1 letterbox

Should probably keep an eye on it then.

High thread on doorbell cameras:

Best video doorbell....

I'm wanting to venture into the world of having a video doorbell and wondered if there were any realistic alternatives to the almighty Ring system that I should be looking at? It needs to be battery powered as I'm far too lazy to work out how to wire it in but at the same time I don't...

Can't you get your parcels sent to a locker or post office counter and then collect from there

Have you thought about a reversing camera?

That's actually not a bad idea, a covert camera to catch the culprit.

Oh here we go again, our weekly thread of BS that doesn't actually happen....

Fingers crossed for suspension of account soon

Most delivery companies use phones to scan in parcels as they are delivered. They automatically log the location of the scan. The first thing I would check is whether the parcel was scanned by your front door or not.

You're wrongly assuming this actually happened and isn't just another of the OPs wind up threads

Scrolled all the way down to check someone hadn't beaten me to it

And to be fair I have had delivery notifications before, saying it was delivered and then had it delivered the next day

Yup usually done so the driver can hit their delivery targets for the day.
