With the rapid surge in porch piracy, largely fueled by the proliferation of online shopping, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions to secure package deliveries [8]. This paper addresses the pressing issue of package theft through the development of a comprehensive solution that integrates a mobile application and a secure parcel locker system. Recognizing the limitations of existing methodologies, our proposed solution places a strong emphasis on technical robustness, user experience, and security. Our approach revolves around a user-friendly mobile application catering to both consumers and couriers. This application seamlessly interfaces with a network of secure parcel lockers, creating a robust ecosystem. Leveraging Google Firebase for data storage and Android Studio Code for programming, our system ensures secure and efficient access [9]. Overcoming challenges like efficient communication with Raspberry Pi and optimal locker design layout, we utilized wireless technology and innovative design concepts [10]. Rigorous experimentation encompassing usability, effectiveness, and user satisfaction assessments has demonstrated the solution's efficacy in thwarting unauthorized access. The results underscore the significance of a user-centered design, technical feasibility, and comprehensive security measures. By offering a multifaceted approach that prioritizes convenience, security, and user-friendliness, our solution presents a compelling remedy to the pervasive problem of porch piracy
