Packages being stolen off of front porch’s is a crime that happens year around, but over the holidays the crime is more frequent.

Home owners are doing more to try and stop this from happening, and one thing more people are installing is door bell cameras, that record the front areas of the houses and the yard where packages are placed my mail services.

Even if the suspect does get away with your package, the camera helps police identify them and makes it easier to make an arrest.

An app called the Neighbor app, allows you to connect your camera to your phone so you can view when away from home. You can also upload video so your surrounding neighbors can be aware if anything is going on near their homes.

Police say, having this device makes it much harder for criminals to commit a crime and get away with it.
