With the ever-expanding list of monitoring systems and security gadgets on the market, it can seem like only the most tech conscious can benefit from these new systems. In truth, the rapid development of these services and systems means they are designed with increasing user-friendliness in mind.

As parents, we often feel that we could improve our homes’ safety and security. A quick consultation with a professional or visit to a website offering these services can give you an understanding of the features and benefits that a custom system can provide you with. In this article, we take a deeper look at these fantastic solutions and the benefits they offer you.

 

Comprehensive, Remote Security

Not too long ago, a home monitoring system meant nothing more than a CCTV network wired to a recording device. These days there are market-ready products that offer your family the security measures once considered near science fiction. Consider the integrated biometric entry protection system. Essentially, you replace all the doorknobs and handles at access points to your home with biometric, smart locks. The real kicker is that when combined with your security cameras, you can use a simple phone app to see who is at your front door and decide whether to give them access. 

 

Beyond The Nanny Cam

No parent can genuinely feel completely comfortable at the idea of leaving their children with a nanny. With a network of smart cameras around the house, you can view your kids in real-time, ensuring they are safe and that all is in order. Even if we know our children are being taken care of by someone we trust to keep them safe, there are other issues, such as discipline and daily routine.

Let’s Not Forget Pets!

One of the most incredible developments arising from all these smart devices and gadgets is the ability to automate and remotely take care of your pets while at work. You may already be aware of automated smart feeding gadgets, automatic doggy doors, and even the smart speakers that will play prerecorded samples of your voice to your pets at specific hours. Combining any of these systems with your home monitoring system means you can actively control and subsequently manage just about every part of your pet’s day while you are at work. 

 

Save Money

This one may not be immediately helpful to your family’s security. Still, it turns out your home insurance company may decrease your premiums based on the level of home security you implement. Also, any claims you make may be more easily resolved, especially if the claim relates to anything captured on camera or detected by any of your security and home monitoring system’s connected sensors.

 

Protecting Your Family From Serious Threats

While home monitoring systems on active display do statistically act as a deterrent to criminals, a smart system that can sound off and use smart assistant language synthesis to address any intruder in real-time is far more effective. Connected to any modern monitoring system will be your smoke detectors. These serve a twofold purpose. They serve as an early warning for carbon monoxide, and they alert you to any fires.
