When you're not at home but the package arrives, this annoyance troubles many online shoppers. Recently, Amazon announced the launch of a smart lock system that allows delivery personnel to deliver packages into homes when the owner is away, while ensuring the safety of users' property.
It is reported that this system, named "Amazon Key", consists of a smart lock and a camera system. Users can remotely control to allow delivery personnel to deliver packages directly to their homes in advance, and can also create one-time passwords for temporary delivery personnel or friends to enter their homes.
During this process, the identity of the delivery personnel and the packages will be strictly reviewed by the system, and the camera will send the live video of the process to the user.
It is reported that Amazon has been developing this service for over a year. Peter Larsen, Amazon's vice president of delivery technology, said: "For us, this is not a trial run, but a core part of our future shopping experience."
According to reports, the service will be launched in 37 regions in the United States on November 8, priced at $249.99 (approximately RMB 1,657), and Amazon will also be responsible for on-site installation services.
