Everyone has had that horrible experience—Amazon says your package arrived, but when you get home, it's nowhere to be seen. 。
How to fix this? Well, Amazon has tried a variety of things, like nearby lockers and drones, but nothing quite like this. 。
The ecommerce giant on Wednesday launched Amazon Key, a new system that gives people the ability to let delivery people into their homes to drop off packages. 。
It's reasonable for your initial reaction to such a feature to be nervous paranoia, but Amazon thinks it has developed a way to make letting strangers into your home a relatively safe proposition.。

The function isn't just for deliveries. Amazon also teased that it could be used to let in other people like cleaners. 。
A big part of the new feature is Amazon's Cloud Cam, an Alexa-enabled video camera that has a variety of security capabilities including live video. 。
