Stopping Edmonton Porch Pirates During the Long Winter Months

When the harsh Edmonton winter sets in, residents naturally rely heavily on online shopping and delivery services to avoid icy roads. Unfortunately, this surge in deliveries coincides with the darkest months of the year, creating a perfect storm for "porch pirates" looking for an easy score.

The Reality of Package Theft

Thieves frequently follow delivery trucks through residential Edmonton neighborhoods, scooping up packages mere minutes after they are dropped on a frozen front step. A dark porch offers excellent concealment for these rapid thefts.

Proactive Defense with Video Analytics

A standard video doorbell will record a theft, but you might not see the notification until hours later. Unity Smart Security provides advanced cameras equipped with powerful perimeter video analytics:

• Proactive Deterrence: When a person steps onto your porch, our cameras can immediately sound a warning chime or illuminate a bright spotlight, letting the intruder know they have been spotted before they even touch the package.
• Smart Automation: Pair your outdoor cameras with smart lighting. Trigger your exterior lights to snap to 100% brightness the moment motion is detected on your driveway.
• Two-Way Audio: Speak directly through your smartphone to the delivery driver and ask them to place the package behind a specific planter, out of street view.
