A Security Camera That Deters Porch Pirates

With the surge in online shopping, porch piracy has become a significant issue for homeowners. In the U.S. alone, an estimated 260 million packages were stolen last year, resulting in losses of over $19.5 billion. Nearly 44% of Americans have experienced package theft at least once, with 17% facing theft in just the past three months. As porch piracy grows, homeowners are increasingly seeking better security solutions to protect their deliveries​.

Enter RADCam™: The World’s First Talking Security Camera

Produced by Robotic Assistance Devices Residential, Inc. (RAD-R), a subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (AITX), RADCam offers a groundbreaking solution to package theft. Unlike traditional security cameras that only record, RADCam is equipped with AIR™ (Autonomous Intelligent Response) technology, which allows it to interact with people in real time.

Imagine a delivery driver leaves a package on your porch, and shortly after, an unfamiliar individual approaches. Instead of simply capturing footage, RADCam communicates directly:

“Hello, I see you’ve approached the package. Do you have permission to handle it?”

This interaction serves as a powerful deterrent, often stopping thieves in their tracks. RADCam not only provides this immediate intervention but also records the entire exchange, offering crucial evidence in the event of a theft attempt. With its ability to respond in real time, RADCam offers a proactive layer of security that traditional cameras lack.

The Growing Problem of Porch Piracy

Thieves often target neighborhoods where homes lack adequate surveillance or where packages are left unattended for extended periods.

Porch pirates have become more brazen, using tactics such as following delivery trucks or disguising themselves as delivery personnel. This crime disproportionately affects homeowners who are away during the day, and the minimal penalties associated with package theft mean that it continues to rise​.

Why RADCam is the Best Defense

RADCam’s real-time interaction sets it apart from other security cameras. Most traditional cameras only offer passive monitoring, leaving homeowners to review footage after a theft has already occurred. In contrast, RADCam acts as a virtual security guard, intervening the moment it detects a potential thief. Its AI-driven responses and deterrence capabilities make RADCam highly effective in preventing theft before it happens.

Additionally, RADCam provides ongoing surveillance from the moment a package is delivered until it is safely retrieved. Homeowners no longer need to worry about unattended packages, as RADCam keeps watch even when they are not at home. This proactive approach makes it much more difficult for porch pirates to succeed.

Safeguard Your Deliveries with RADCam

Given the growing threat of porch piracy, investing in a security solution like RADCam is a smart choice for homeowners. With its interactive, AI-powered deterrence, RADCam helps ensure your packages are protected, whether you are home or away.

Produced by RAD-R, a subsidiary of AITX, RADCam is leading the way in home security innovation. Protect your packages and gain peace of mind with RADCam, because your deliveries deserve the best defense.
