PORCH NOTIFICATION

HOW TO BE NOTIFIED THAT THE PACKAGE IS ON YOUR PORCH:

Delivery person – does not ring the doorbell to notify of delivery

 

A motion detector that automatically rings a doorbell provides the solution. The delivery person is detected on the porch and the doorbell automatically rings inside the house.

 You turn it on the day of delivery and off the rest of the time.
