    Catching Mail Thieves

    It all started a few months ago. A package I was tracking showed up as delivered, so I go downstairs check my mail and it wasn't there. Called USPS and went through the loop for a couple of days, basically they say they delivered it to correct address. Every couple of weeks, this keeps happening and the frequency of the thefts keep rising as days go by. I'm so paranoid about these thefts that when I have a delivery coming in on the same day I am home, I just jump to the window every time I hear a truck or the sound of a gate opening. That's no longer an option since I have my windows close now so I can have my AC on. This past week, I had 6 shipments coming in. All but two were received by me. All were being tracked and all show that they have been delivered. I've had enough of losing hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise and items to thieves and tired of being paranoid. So I'm going to set up a camera outside on my door. I'm hoping that it deters these thieves and if not, then I can catch these poopheads. I've been looking at wireless cameras since there's no practical way of connecting a wired camera. I haven't found any camera that shows their battery life. I want a camera that can last at least 12 hours, just enough for me to get back from work. I don't mind changing the batteries every day. I'm looking for an outdoor camera so it can survive the elements. Nightvision is not needed but I prefer a camera that can let me see on those dark and rainy days. Anyone have any recommendations?
