Cameras linked to the database of a grocery store are not. This is Douglas Adams level bizarro world.
Like Amazon Keys (can't remember the exact product name) to receive packages when you're not in, by letting total strangers inside your house with their own key.
Which is such an hysterical solution to a such a simple problem (retrieve undelivered packages at the post office) that makes me wonder if I'm the one taking crazy pills.
Because of my house's location, I have not yet lost a package. But I'd like a camera to see if anyone is checking out my porch when there are no packages just to see if I should worry. Previously, the idea that the police could just grab my video made me personally concerned about privacy. Ring providing logs alleviates that concern for me.
Why leave packages in the open when you're not home? How's that not hysterical?
On the facts though, you again misunderstand. I'm frequently not home to sign for things. I live near the Silicon Valley, yet my post office is a six mile round trip. My UPS delivery office is a 40 mile round trip. Amazon lockers do not accept large packages.
I feel that at this point you are clutching for straws to justify your original position.
