I had similar thoughts. Has Amazon posted any statistics on package theft when packages are left at the front door? I'm wondering if Amazon is acting of perceived fears to strengthen it's foothold in the home or trying to reduce losses by subsidizing a somewhat complex solution?
- arkades 9y agoUnlike a smart mailbox, this lets them plug your front door / the smartlock business line into Alexa. They get to do the same with video surveillance of the home, which they’ve been pushing with their fashion app and whatnot - so this means in the future they can possibly integrate these inward-facing cameras into services they’re already developing. It seems like this is a play for pushing a smart home ecology around Alexa.
- brianmartinek 9y agoWith one of my recent Amazon deliveries, a picture was taken of the package sitting in front of my mailbox. It was accessible through the Amazon app when I received the delivery notification. It's an apartment building, so it was nice to know where it was left since the location of packages delivered seems to vary based on which company delivers it. My very first thought when I saw it was this was a solution to prove that a delivery took place in cases of package theft.
