Front Door/Porch Alarm

[Propflux01]

Does anyone know who might make an alarm that lets people inside the house know there is movement on the front porch, other than alexa, or a full on alarm company? I’m looking for just such a thing, mainly to let me know when packages get dropped off and no one rings the bell. I don’t want to install a whole house apark, and Alexa is just not gonna happen.

There’s Ring and Arlo. They will alert you via your cellphone when movement is detected.

I know some motion sensing cameras can send you an alert if a human is detected in a chosen field of view. Might also me some kind of motion sensor device with remote alerts.

My in-laws use an Arlo Pro system and seem happy with it. It's Wi-Fi based with a smartphone app where they get motion alerts with the associated video, and the cameras don't require any wiring or power as long as you're willing to take them down and charge them periodically.

I have https://www.bestbuy.com/site/eufy-s...nd-amazon-alexa-black/6495852.p?skuId=6495852. Lets you see the floor of your porch and will notify you when you get a package. There is a battery version and hardwired version if you already have a hard wired doorbell.

Well, cellphone alerts won’t do any good if you don’t carry it with you 24/7, and as stated before, alexa isn’t gonna happen. I’m more looking towards a proximity alert, like used in most businesse, where it sets an audible alarm or warning light if a fence is breached or camera detects something .

This is an oversaturated market for sure. Google is your firned. COme back with a proposed solution and ask about a specific product to get legitimate answers.

Unless you are at home the alerts will be useless, only telling you that a varmint is stealing your package.
