Package theft—often called porch piracy—is one of the fastest-growing property crimes in the United States. With millions of online orders shipped daily, homeowners and businesses need reliable tools to protect their deliveries. Installing a high-quality security camera system is one of the most effective ways to verify deliveries, deter thieves, and provide evidence when incidents occur.

Most package theft happens during daylight hours when homes are unoccupied. Even with delivery notifications, packages left unattended for minutes can disappear. A well-placed security camera helps you:

• Verify delivery attempts — Confirm when and where carriers drop packages.

• Deter potential thieves — Visible cameras discourage criminal behavior.

• Capture evidence — High-resolution video provides critical identification details.

• Communicate in real time — Two-way audio allows you to speak directly with visitors or warn suspicious individuals.

The Montavue MTT8106-AD-AP is an advanced 8MP (4K) active deterrence camera designed to protect your property and packages. It combines powerful imaging, smart detection, and real-time communication features.

Key Features:

• 4K Ultra HD Resolution — Capture every detail, from delivery driver uniforms to license plates.

• Active Deterrence Lights and Siren — Automatically activate when motion is detected to scare off potential thieves.

• Two-Way Audio — Speak directly with delivery personnel or warn intruders through the built-in microphone and speaker.

• AI Human and Vehicle Detection — Reduces false alerts from wind, rain, or moving trees.

• Full-Color Night Vision — Provides clear footage day or night for 24/7 surveillance.

• Weatherproof Design (IP67) — Built to withstand extreme outdoor conditions.

To get the best coverage for package verification:

1. Front Door or Porch Area — A two way audio camera such as the MTT8106-AD-AP above eye level, facing your delivery zone. Right above your front door is a great place!

2. Driveway or Gate — For wider coverage, the MTB180C are a good choice for viewing vehicles approachings and departures. MTT180 is also an ideal wide view camera that comes with two way audio for easy communication.

3. Secondary Entry Points — Cover side or back doors where packages might be left, If you don't need two way audio the MTT8106-SMDs are a great budget friendly option!

Aim for clear visibility of the ground where packages are dropped, with enough field of view to include the person delivering.

When integrated with a Montavue NVR and the MontavueGO2.0 app, users can receive instant motion alerts on their smartphone. You can verify the delivery in real time, talk to the driver, or activate deterrent features with a single tap—no matter where you are.

Cameras like the MTT8106-AD-AP provide ongoing value beyond deliveries:

• Monitor maintenance or service visits.

• Track deliveries for businesses or offices.

• Keep an eye on family members returning home.

• Provide valuable evidence in case of disputes with shipping carriers.

With the rise of online shopping, securing your deliveries is essential. The Montavue MTT8106-AD-AP offers proactive protection with active deterrence lights, 2-way audio, and 4K clarity. By installing these cameras at key entry points, you can verify every delivery and significantly reduce the risk of package theft.
