The appliance works by being placed on your doorstep or porch and can be accessed by [delivery personnel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-delivery-glasses) to put your package in to keep it safe until you return home to retrieve it. The system can be opened by the delivery person by scanning the barcode on the package or slipping envelopes into the antitheft slot. The unit will send homeowners an alert to their smartphone letting them know they have received a delivery. The Danby Parcel Guard also features a [motion-activated camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufy) and a tamper alarm to further enhance the safety capabilities of the unit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Parcel Theft Prevention:** Developing innovative solutions to prevent parcel theft and protect deliveries. - **Smart Home Security:** Integrating advanced security features into home appliances and systems. - **Ecommerce Delivery Solutions:** Creating technologies that address the challenges of delivering packages in the ecommerce era. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Security:** Opportunities for developing smart home security products and services. - **Package Delivery:** Innovations in improving the efficiency and security of package delivery. - **Ecommerce:** Addressing the growing demands of ecommerce with innovative solutions and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Porch Package Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-delivery-box.md) - [Parcel Delivery Alarm Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/package-protector.md) - [Connected Package Delivery Safes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doorbox-smart-delivery-box.md) - [IoT Package Delivery Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyve-home-delivery-pod.md) - [Antibacterial Parcel Delivery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aristos-home-dropbox.md) - [Drone-Compatible Smart Mailboxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-mailboxes.md) - [Camera-Equipped Delivery Parcels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-packets.md) - [Parcel-Friendly Mailbox Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rmb2000-mailbox.md) - [Solar-Powered Smart Parcel Lockers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quadient-x-series-lockers.md)
