I'll take this a step further. I don't understand why so many people are installing security cameras at all. And my observation has been that there's often an inverse correlation between how much someone needs such a camera and how likely they are to have one. It's always the suburbanites who are talking about their Ring cam footage and freaking out that someone's at the door, oh wait, it's just FedEx.
Despite what most people seem to think, crimes like break ins in the US are extremely rare. Why do people still feel the need to gear up their homes like Fort Knox?
It's not for deterring break-ins. It's just for informational purposes like seeing when my package is dropped off. FedEx might be pretty good at sending me emails about deliveries but plenty of other smaller last-mile couriers don't have any way of notifying me. It's also for entertaining purposes like seeing a feral cat stretch in my front yard.
