I can’t believe that this is a serious article. If it is, it’s clearly written by someone who has experienced very little crime.

That said, it’s not like crime is uncommon, and a blasé attitude and snark won’t change that. Cameras are in fact the best deterrent.

Kinda funny that your links don't support that.

And I think that's exactly the issue. Doorbell cameras appear to be security theater when it comes to both trying to prevent or recovering package thefts.
