Smart Devices That Combat Dangers Within Your Home

When you consider investing in a home security system, it’s usually with the intent of keeping bad guys out. But criminals are not the only threat to your family’s safety and security. A home security system can address possible threats within your home when you bundle it with the right smart devices.

When you’re aware of the potential dangers, you can make a better decision on which smart devices will benefit you. 

Fires and gas leaks

Most of us realize the importance of monitoring for fires or carbon monoxide in our home. However, when we have to leave our kids at home, sometimes we’re left to wonder if they — or their babysitter — would know what to do if a sensor was triggered.

In the event of an emergency, carbon monoxide and smoke detectors that are integrated into your security system can immediate alert you. So even when you’re away from home, you’ll be able to take immediately take action. 

Now you can leave the kids at home with that first-time babysitter and have a little more peace of mind.

Older adults living alone

Despite the uptick in aging parents moving in with their children, many are still living on their own. This often gives adult children rightful anxiety about whether their parents are safe. When you are unable to check on your parents daily, having a system in place to monitor their well-being is a necessity.

A panic pendant is a great way to put both your and your aging parents’ minds at ease. In the event of a fall or other injury, the panic pendant ensures your parents receive the attention they need.

Firearms and curious kids

When you store firearms in the home, your children are statistically at a higher risk for injury. Even if you take the recommended steps to properly lock up firearms, children are resourceful and can get ahold of keys or codes. A good solution for curious children is having a door sensor as a backup on your safe or gun room door. These sensors will alert you immediately to any breaches so you can take immediate action.

So while you are considering who you can keep out of your home to keep your family safe, also consider the dangers you can prevent within your home. The right smart devices will ensure that you’re fully able to monitor your family’s safety.
