5 Ways Working Parents Can Benefit from Smart Security

When homeowners decide to invest in smart technology, one of the biggest priorities is making their homes safer. Parents, especially, are always looking for new ways to keep their children safe at all times. When it comes to working parents, they want a home security system that will keep them in control even when they’re away. In this blog, we highlight some of the smart security features that can make life easier for working parents in the Woodbury, MN area.

Create the Ultimate Childproof Home 

Once kids start moving on their own, it always seems like they’re determined to find the most dangerous areas of the house. While you do your best to childproof your home with gates, locks, and covers, your security system can lend a helping hand. Place sensors in potentially dangerous areas like medicine cabinets, pools or toilets. Receive a notification on your phone –whether you’re home or away—if someone gets near these areas so you can react as soon as possible to an emergency. 

Don’t Ever Forget to Secure Your Home 

When you’re rushing out of the house in the morning on the way to work, you’re likely to forget something along the way. For the more important things, like making sure you locked all doors and set the alarm, you can get reminders from your security system. From your mobile app, you can check in from work or the car to make sure nothing was forgotten along the way. If you did forget something, you could make the necessary changes from the same app. 

Keep an Eye on Your Kids While You’re Away 

As kids get older, they may start spending more time home alone. This can be nerve wracking for parents, especially the first few times they have to leave their kids behind. One way to get peace of mind is to look in on them whenever you have a chance. From your security app, you can watch live surveillance footage to see what they’re up to when you’re not there. If the children know you have the option of monitoring them remotely, they’re also more likely to be on their best behavior. 

Know When Your Kids Have Made it Home 

Once your kids are teenagers, it becomes a challenge to keep tabs on them. They always promise to call or text when they’ve made it back but rarely do. Take matters into your own hands by creating unique access codes for each member of your family. Whenever one of your kids uses their code to get inside, you get a notification on your phone letting you know they made it home safely. 

Limit Your Children’s Security Access 

Another perk of personalized access codes is that you can place restrictions on them. For example, make sure your teenage son can’t deactivate the alarm after 7 p.m. so he’s not sneaking off at night. Children’s codes may also work for only certain doors. While they can use it on the front door when they get back, they can’t use it to unlock the wine cellar. Invest in a smart security system that can be a parenting partner whether you’re dealing with the terrible twos or newly independent teenagers.
