Avoiding Parcel Theft During the Holidays

by | Dec 15, 2014 | Blog

The holidays are a popular time for gift giving. They’re also a popular time for criminals to steal packages right off your doorstep. Whether you’re shopping and ordering online, or receiving a package from someone else this holiday season, proper surveillance of your home will deter thieves from robbing you of your gifts and your holly jolly spirits.

SEi’s Video Surveillance options can benefit your home protection in three key ways: Prevention, Observation, and Conviction

Prevention package theft

Using SEi’s advanced video technology, a surveillance camera can be mounted to your home entrance, or other areas where suspicious activity may occur. When a burglar sees a video surveillance camera displayed and active on your home, they will think twice before grabbing that box from your doorstep. Not only will these services deter parcel theft, they can help prevent burglars from breaking into your home as well. No thief wants to be caught on camera, and they will look elsewhere to get their loot.

 

observation Observation

SEi’s Video Surveillance options allow you to view a live or pre-recorded video feed. SEi’s surveillance cameras can send 10 second clips under a motion senor, so you will be notified immediately of any movement. You will know exactly when the package is dropped off and if anyone else comes to your door. Whether you’re expecting a parcel delivery, or simply want to check out what’s going on while you’re away from your home, you can reliably access surveillance with ease, by logging into your account with a smartphone or tablet.

 

Conviction

Sometimes the best-laid plans go unfounded, and bad things can still happen, no matter what precautions are taken. If someone does come along and steal your package, SEi’s Video Surveillance can play back a pre-recorded clip of the occurrence and help local law enforcement catch the perpetrator.

Video Surveillance is one of the best solutions if you’re looking to get the most out of your home protection plan. Now is the best time to start monitoring your home’s exterior with video surveillance. Call SEi today at 800-334-3272 to find out about how you can prevent parcel theft at your home this season.
