When it comes down to it, very little stands in the way of your family and their overall safety. I started thinking about different ways to create a safer environment for my family, and it all started with investing in a great new security system. I purchased a system that I felt really good about, and after it was installed, I was amazed with how well it worked. I wanted to make a little website all about creating a safe, comfortable environment for your family members. Check out this blog to learn how to create more security for you and your family members.
Now that your children are older and they no longer require the constant supervision of a babysitter, you still want them to be safe while you are at work or running errands. One way to achieve this is by installing a home security system. That way, you will have peace of mind from being able to secure your home while also being able to keep tabs on your children from afar. Here are several advantages to having a home security system installed when you have latchkey children at home.
There's no risk of lost keys
Children often misplace items like house keys, which would make it impossible for them to unlock the door. By having a home security system that utilizes a numerical keypad, your children will be able to unlock the door to get inside the house. If, by chance, your child forgets the code to unlock the door, you can unlock the door remotely for them by using the home security app. If your child leaves the home (with your permission, of course), you can also use the app to make sure they locked the door after they leave.
You can see who enters your home
A home security system that includes a surveillance camera will allow you to see who enters the home each time the door is unlocked. Home security systems can be configured to record videos or take photos at the front door when a motion detector senses movement when someone walks up to the front door. This will allow you to see who enters your home when you are not there. You can even view the camera in real-time, if necessary. You can also configure the system to notify you immediately on your smartphone when anyone is at the front door, rings the doorbell, and/or opens the door.
911 will be called immediately if there's a fire or home invasion
Integrating a fire and life safety system into your home security system is crucial for homes where there are latchkey children. If the system detects smoke or excessive heat from a fire in the home, the security system will immediately sound an alarm for your children to exit the home, notify 911, and contact you. The security system can also identify if there's a home invasion, such as the security breach of a door or window, and contact 911 for you as well as notify you immediately.
