A system for the delivery and secure receipt of packages from unmanned vehicles to improve security and protection of the packages upon delivery. A UAV receptacle provides a water-protected interior to protect a package. The UAV receptacle includes a door in one side that allows a reception tray to extend out and back in, and which locks to protect the package so received. The UAV receptacle detects a drone in proximity. Upon confirming that delivery is for the UAV receptacle, the reception tray extends to a reception position. A sensor detects the package on the reception tray upon delivery from the drone. The reception tray is of a mesh material to reduce water retention. The UAV receptacle retracts the reception tray and closes a door to seal the package within the UAV receptacle. The UAV receptacle may notify user devices that the package has been received.

Disclosed herein is an automated system to provide delivery persons a simpler manner of recognizing the exact location of a target destination. Such a system includes the utilization of an illuminating device, whether for direct signal viewing or for projection of an indicating signal, provided on a mailbox or other structure placed roadside near or adjacent to, at least, a home or like edifice. The illuminating device may be solar-powered to provide an efficient manner of providing sufficient electricity to generate the necessary illumination result (or projection thereof). The system thus allows for integration of such an illuminating device within an overall process wherein a delivery person (or even a visitor, for that matter) may utilize a GPS or like app as a guide to the desired location with the illumination thereof upon entry within a certain zone proximate to the target edifice for more reliable delivery results.

A system and method providing a smart, Internet-connected mailbox is disclosed. The system having a smart mailbox device, a web server, and a mobile device configured to communicatively interconnect over the Internet. The smart mailbox device includes a mailbox enclosure having a lockable mail and package lockbox electrically coupled to a mailbox processor device, a keypad device electrically coupled to the mailbox processor device, a video camera electrically coupled to the mailbox processor device, a display device electrically coupled to the mailbox processor device, a wireless data network transceiver for configured to communicatively interconnect the mailbox device to the Internet, a mailbox processor device for controlling the smart mailbox device, The mailbox processor device has: a memory having instructions stored thereon and a processor configured to execute the instructions on the memory to cause the mailbox processor device to authenticate deliveries and notify users.

A method, system and apparatus are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a system for monitoring a mailbox is provided. The system may include a mailbox device including at least one sensor, such as a video camera, for detecting movement, and a mailbox communication interface configured to communicate information including sensor information generated by the at least one sensor. The system may further include a premises device including a premises communication interface configured to receive the sensor information from the mailbox device and processing circuitry configured to determine whether a mailbox event has occurred and trigger at least one alert if a mailbox event occurred. The system may further provide notification of the event to an authorized entity via mobile device, voice assistant, etc. An access control unit may be used to limit access to the mailbox to authorized individuals.

The present invention teaches a residential wall penetrating mailbox with enhanced box handling capability, openable by barcode scanning, and openable from either inside or outside a home. A body which is generally column shaped has front and rear doors which open at the top and hinge near the bottom and which have interleaved fingers or members extending from the bottom ends into the interior space of the mailbox. A box tray sits on the interleaved fingers. When either door is opened the fingers of that door lift the box tray upward and out of the box on that side. Thus, a delivery person may access a box from outside the home, while the homeowner may do the same without leaving the safety of the home interior. In addition, an elastic cord and carefully slanted slots on side panels of the front door allow easy retention of a box even further up the front door.

A remote-controlled mailbox is provided. The device includes a mailbox housing having an open front end and a front door pivotally affixed thereto, wherein the front door selectively closes the front end. A post is affixed to a base of the mailbox housing. A frame is affixed to a lower end of the post, wherein the frame movably engages a track. Upon actuation of a motor of a mechanical drive system, the frame moves along the track, thereby moving the post and mailbox housing in kind. A remote device includes a plurality of controls thereon, wherein the plurality of controls is operably connected to the motor. Upon actuation of the plurality of controls, the mechanical drive system selectively moves the frame along the track.
