For
parents of multiple children, there's a lot in your house to keep
track of, and you only have so many eyes to help along the way. As
children get older, they gain more independence and freedom in their
lives and around the home.
To
help keep a little order and monitor the actions of children, parents
can benefit from the installation of a home surveillance system.
Learn about the various benefits and ways a home surveillance system
will help improve your everyday life.
Phone
App Monitoring
One
of the ways a surveillance system will help keep track of your kids
is through the easy access you have to footage. Once the system is
set up in the home, a parent gains instant access to footage and
feeds through a built-in phone app.
The
app provides live feed options from any camera in the home along with
the ability to look back on footage captured through the day. Motion
sensors will capture key moments of the footage rather than just
supply you with an endless feed.
This
app is ideal for parents who spend long hours at work and just want
to check in on their children throughout the day. Both interior and
exteriors cameras may also function as a nanny cam when someone is
babysitting the children.
Some
of the porch camera feeds may also act as a video doorbell so you
know who is approaching the home when your children are inside.
Alerts may activate on the phone so you can instantly connect and see
when someone has approached the front door or rang the doorbell.
School
Bus Monitoring
Along
with the ability to monitor when other people arrive at the house, a
home surveillance system will monitor your children when they are
leaving or arriving at home via an exterior camera positioned to
cover the drive-way to monitor school bus pick-up and drop-off times.
In
the morning, you may have to get ready for work or you may leave for
work before the bus arrives. With camera monitors, you can safely
ensure each child has gotten on the bus and will get to school
safely.
The
same situation applies to after-school when the child arrives home.
You will be able to see when each child gets off the bus and when
they enter the home. The monitoring is beneficial if you're at work
and even if you're at home as well.
For
example, if you have children in multiple schools, an elementary
school bus, middle school bus, and high school bus may all arrive
back home at different times. Instead of just going outside over and
over or watching through the window, you can simply load up the video
feed to see when the child arrives home.
Curfews
& After-School Activities
Similar
to the bus stop, a home surveillance system will help keep older
children honest when you set curfews and guidelines for various times
when the children are supposed to be home. Late at night, you have
the ability to monitor situations from the comfort of your own bed.
Even
if you are sleeping, the next morning gives you the ability to look
back and ensure the children are following specific rules and curfews
you have set in your home. You don't even have to monitor the cameras
every day.
When
children know the cameras are there, the security surveillance will
often act as a natural deterrent and help prevent them from skipping
curfew. Some cities and states even after curfew laws set in place,
so monitoring the situation will also help prevent any additional
trouble.
You
can program motion alerts or door indicators with specific camera
angles to send you alerts and updates as needed.
A
home surveillance system goes a long way in protecting your children.
