From prototype to product

ParcelGuard started as a practical answer to missed deliveries.

Built around the rural drop-off problem

The current prototype focuses on reliable parcel detection and long-range communication for properties where standard doorbell-style hardware is not enough.

Designed for secure handoff

The next version is being shaped around a secure parcel drop area with a smarter screen, stronger tamper protection, smart locking, NFC access, and app-controlled unlock flows.

Connected to the delivery journey

A companion mobile app is planned to combine box events with courier tracking across NZ and international services, so the physical delivery and shipment status live in one place.

What ParcelGuard is becoming

A more secure, more useful parcelbox for homes that need dependable delivery.

Security

Smart lock, NFC access, and mobile unlock

Give approved access when needed, while keeping the parcel area protected by default.

Awareness

Tamper detection with event alerts

Planned tamper sensing adds another signal when the box is disturbed unexpectedly.

Interface

A better screen for clearer courier interactions

The production direction includes a larger, more capable display for a cleaner drop-off experience.

Environment

Temperature and humidity visibility

Track conditions inside the parcel area, useful for sensitive deliveries and better device health data.

Tracking

Integrated NZ and international courier updates

See shipment progress and physical delivery confirmation together in the mobile app.

Connectivity

Built with remote installs in mind

ParcelGuard's roots are in LoRa-connected, rural-friendly deployment rather than urban-only assumptions.
