Top 7 Smart Security Tips for Your Kids’ Back-to-School Season
The back-to-school season is upon us, sweeping across the nation like a whirlwind of excitement, anticipation, and perhaps a hint of dread. For kids, it’s a time of new beginnings, fresh supplies, and the promise of friendships. But for parents, it brings a unique set of challenges. Among them is the pressing concern for the safety of their children, especially when they are home alone after school.
Fear not, for Sting Alarm, a leader in Las Vegas’s smart home security solutions, has meticulously crafted the Top 7 Back-to-School Home Security Solutions to keep your children safe and grant you the sense of security you deserve.
1. No More Lost Keys: The Convenience of Smart Locks
Why worry about lost or forgotten keys when you can embrace the technology of Smart Locks? With a personalized keyless entry code for each child, you eliminate the risk of a lockout. Even if they forget their code, a quick phone call enables you to unlock the door remotely. A doorbell camera, such as Alarm.com’s 750 video doorbell (battery-less), offers the capability for visual verification.
2. Know When They Get Home: Seamless Notifications
Parents can’t help but worry about their children’s safe arrival home. But with smart alarm systems, your kids won’t need to call you every day. You’ll automatically receive an alert on your smartphone, ensuring you know they’re safe without relying on them to remember to call.
3. Your Smart Thermostat: Intelligent Temperature Management
Efficiency meets convenience with a Smart Thermostat. Schedule heating and cooling based on when your kids are away at school and receive alerts if there’s a change in temperature. Left a door open? Your smart alarm will notify you, adjusting the HVAC system to save you money.
4. Keep an Eye on the Place: Surveillance on Demand
With DIY wireless alarms systems or image sensors, you can keep a watchful eye from anywhere. View camera feeds from your smartphone or set up automatic video clips of your children’s daily arrival. You can even monitor their friends when you’re not there.
5. Set Alarm Reminders: Protecting Your Sanctuary
Beyond just monitoring, smart security solutions actively protect your home. Receive alerts if a door is left unlocked or the system is unarmed. You can then lock or arm your system from your app, keeping your home secure without even having to be there.
6. Consider New Devices to Protect Your Family: Upgrade with Ease
A wireless protection system allows for simple additions as your family’s needs change. From smart locks to safety cameras or even a doorbell camera, you can customize your system to ensure your family’s safety and comfort.
7. Adjusting Daily Routines: Flexibility Meets Safety
Potential Intruders often take advantage of predictable patterns, so it’s a great strategy to vary your routines to make your home less attractive to burglars. As children grow and their schedules change, flexibility becomes paramount. Your smart home security system should adapt with them. Whether it’s a sudden change in after-school activities or an unexpected playdate, your system can adjust alarms, reminders, and thermostat settings to accommodate these fluctuations. By customizing alerts for different family members and events, you ensure a smooth transition between daily routines while creating the illusion of activity during the day when no one’s home.
