Didn't find any mail waiting for me in my curbside mailbox.

Instead of Googling whether today was a USPS holiday or wondering if the delivery was late or missing, I scanned my Camect alerts and within a few seconds saw three email notices for "saw a USPS truck".

To my complete joy, a quick mouse click and within a few seconds I was watching the actual USPS mail truck delivery video clip.  The clip started right when the truck approached, and I could see the carrier put mail inside my neighbors box (we have two mailboxes side-by-side at the street), and skip my box and drive away - complete visual confirmation my house wasn't skipped, just actually had no mail.

I know, the usual jokes about "first world problem", but with Camect, unlike multiple other CCTV and camera systems, I was not flailing around for half an hour trying to find a relevant alert, then trying to fast forward/rewind to the right spot in the timeline to try and see the same thing.  In the past, I usually gave up and walked to the mailbox to look.  Faster, but not an option when you aren't actually home or if wasn't my normal residence.

You might want to sign up for https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action

Informed Delivery.  I know every day what to EXPECT in my mailbox.   They scan all mail, I see images of what should be in my mailbox each day.  Also expected deliveries by USPS.   Free service VERY worth the time to sign up.
