The best use case for Amazon is having drivers put packages within view of the ring cameras. Then ring will know when someone steals the package. The home owner on their ring app would do the work of confirming the package was stolen.
- frockington1 5y agoI've seen it used in my neighborhood for that purpose. Package is stolen, call the police and alert neighbors with suspect description. Quickly noticed a drop in porch pirates afterwards.

- stu2b50 5y agoYes, but the recipient is also the one who's installing the camera, so one of the two impacted parties has a vested interest in knowing and therefore it is useful. If you knew it was stolen, then you can immediately act with that knowledge in mind. You don't have to worry about whether or not the postman scanned your package with the wrong device (falsely showing that it has been delivered when it will be tomorrow), or if they plopped it down at your neighbor's driveway by accident, or if the delivery driver hid it from porch pirates but also yourself. It's just nice to know that yes, it was stolen, you're not getting it back, time to go to Amazon support/order a replacement/go to a physical store rather than being in a limbo state.
