Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
My concern would be someone stealing it off the door? I assume they made installation easy, so wouldn't removal be quite easy as well? I'm quite intrigued as it's quite a bummer having packages stolen from the door step.
I think you need a device that records the video stream on a remote recorder so you could review the captured video even if the transmitting video camera gets stolen. There are a number of such devices on the market. Some will also copy still images and/or video to an internet server or service as well as to your smartphone or tablet. I've found wireless cameras to be very capable and rather convenient to set up. Of course, you still need a power source for the cameras, but perhaps there are units available now with enough battery power to be practical for short term use. I have a unit that the wireless cameras are easily functioning a good 250 ft from the recorder, even when the signal is going through trees and brush.
Or you can get something simple but effective like a game trail camera. A lot of people use them for security cameras, since most can be had with heavy duty steel mounting boxes and cables that can be very securely attached to a surface to make theft or effective damage rather difficult.
Or heck, make up your own box booby trapped with capsicum pepper spray. I couldn't do something like this myself, because sure as heck I wouldn't remember that it was booby trapped and would wind up taking it inside and opening it myself... The mind is such a terrible thing to lose.
