Abstract: A package delivery system includes a package depository, a package depository anchor, a camera, a doorbell, a mobile device, a personal user account, and a package delivery code. The package depository includes a lock which may be manipulated by a keypad or by an external signal. The independent devices may be connected using a local area network or wireless signal to complete an integrated delivery security system. The mobile device may be used to access the personal user account providing controls and security settings for operating the package depository. The package delivery system is useful for securing package deliveries and monitoring the delivery event.
