Package theft had 11 millions victims last year and 30% of us have had a package stolen from our home. We created the patented Package Guard, a simple to install, inexpensive solution to help slow down the thieves. It gives you guaranteed real time alerts when packages arrive, can be secured on your front porch and when a package is removed by someone not in your Safe Circle then a 100 Db (very loud) alarm is set off.
“A Frisbee sized disc that might look low-tech, but it’s actually a connected package portal that sends an alert to your phone whenever a delivery arrives at your door.” Jennifer Jolly Oct 2016
“With more deliveries this year than ever before, smart technology like Package Guard is ensuring those precious gifts make it into the right hands during the holidays.” Jo Ling Kent Nov 2016
At about the size of a Frisbee, (11.75 in or 30 cm) the patented Package Guard is a Wi-Fi enabled device that is simple to setup in less than 5 minutes. The Package Guard is battery operated and will last 6-9 months before replacing batteries.
The Package Guard has guaranteed “real time” alerts for you and your neighbor when each of your packages has been delivered or removed (hopefully not stolen) from your porch. It can also be secured to your porch.
If a package thief (aka “porch pirate”) removes a package or Package Guard without using the Safe Circle app (owners of course have the app) it triggers its loud internal 100db alarm/siren.
Answer: Not likely. They could take the Package Guard if it isn’t attached to the porch, but the alarm would sound. You can secure the device to your porch or something on your porch. Secondly, if the device is picked up the alarm will still be activated, with or without packages on top of it.
Answer: It can be attached to your porch or delivery area. We have provided a lanyard/cable that attaches to the bottom of the Package Guard that you can use to attach it to your porch or something on your porch. This will make it that much harder for a thief to try and steal the device or the packages and the device simultaneously.
Answer: No, The result would be the same as in Indiana Jones, remember what happened. Even the slightest change in weight will trigger the alarm to go off.
Answer: Yes it will sound if you take one or any of the packages off the stack of packages.
Answer: We have systems in place so a cat or other animal can’t activate it by walking on it or by someone stepping on it accidentally. We can’t say here because we don’t want to thieves to know.
Answer: No, only the person who registered the device will be able to use it. Once you submit your email, home address and phone number you would need those credentials to set it up at another house. You can reset it if you decide to give it away to your relatives and get the next version.
Answer: The alarm will sound since a package was removed.
Answer: It can hold up to 200 lbs or 90 kg “That is a whole lot of package!” and as little as 1 lb or 500 grams.
Answer: Currently we have that set at 1 lb or 450 grams but we are still evaluating the correct activation weight.
