Integrated package and mail delivery security system

An integrated package and mail delivery security system, the integrated package and mail delivery security system being configured to limit access to a delivery box, the integrated package and mail delivery security system comprising:

• a lock mechanism, the lock mechanism configured to attach to the delivery box to selectively prevent a door of the delivery box from opening;
• the lock mechanism configured to have a locked configuration that prevents the delivery box from opening;
• the lock mechanism further configured to have an unlocked configuration that allows the delivery box to open;
• the lock mechanism further including a lock body;
• the lock body comprising a movable bolt configured to implement the locked configuration that prevents the delivery box from opening and the unlocked configuration that allows the delivery box to open;
• a sensor operatively connected to the lock mechanism, the sensor configured to be responsive to delivery personnel and send a signal to the lock mechanism;
• the sensor further configured to send the signal to operate the lock mechanism to place the lock mechanism in the unlocked configuration that allows the delivery box to open during a delivery of a package and/or mail to the delivery box by the delivery personnel;
• a power source configured to provide electrical or battery power to at least the sensor;
• a wireless transceiver operatively connected to the lock mechanism and the wireless transceiver configured to transmit information over a wireless network to a system indicating that the lock mechanism was unlocked;
• the system configured to receive the information indicating that the lock mechanism was unlocked from the wireless transceiver over the wireless network;
• and
• the system being further configured to transmit a message over the wireless network to a user device regarding operation of the lock mechanism,
• wherein the user device comprises at least one of the following:
• a computer and a wireless device;
• and
• wherein the message comprises an indication of the lock mechanism being unlocked.
