And if it misidentifies the person?
Hey, he probably deserved to be beaten up anyway. </sarcasm>
Yeah, as long as the AI consistently applies the same biases humans do, everybody's happy right? /s

Mainly it helps with my wife's anxiety. We didn't get it for package theft specifically. We have had a drug addict get into our fenced-in backyard and wander around for a while, others shit in the alley, and we sometimes hear screaming matches from addicts or mentally ill people. Having the cameras helps her feel a little safer from those kinds of people.
(Whether we are materially safer is a separate question. But given that I think we are actually quite safe in general, the product is worth it to us in terms of peace of mind alone.)
In that case, what is the security system really doing for you?
