Our children represent our hopes and dreams, and it’s natural to want to keep them as safe from harm as possible. At Custom Security, our specialty is ensuring the safety and security of your home and everyone in it. And because September is Baby Safety Month, we are here to help with tips for keeping your kids safe. Find ideas to protect your children at various stages of development with this guide.
Newborns
There’s nothing like the feeling of bringing your newborn home for the first time. Many people choose to keep their cribs in the master bedroom, which can make it easier to check in on them more easily and frequently. Additionally, our remote-view cameras can allow you to check in on your newborn from nearly any location. So, even if you are in another room while your baby goes down for a nap, you have the option to make sure they are sleeping soundly. And, even if you are away and someone else is babysitting, you can use your smart device to check in on your newborn for added peace of mind. So, when you finally decide to go out, your experience can be that much more enjoyable knowing that you can look in on them with the app.
In addition, children as well as parents benefit from monitored fire systems. Nearly 80% of all fire fatalities occur when families are asleep. However, with a monitored fire system from Custom Security, in-home sirens can alert you to smoke and other gases. Our operators will also contact your local fire department, helping them arrive sooner.
Toddlers
As exciting as it is to see your child crawl for the first time, it can also bring a lot of worry. With a newborn, keeping track of where they are is easy. But, as soon as your child becomes mobile, they can get into all sorts of areas that may not be safe. You will want to make sure that cabinets have child safety locks on them. This can keep your toddler from getting into potentially dangerous materials, such as cleaning supplies and cutlery. Also, chimes can be enabled on your security system to let you know each time a window or door is opened. This can be a huge help for keeping your toddler safe and sound inside your home.
School-Aged Children
When children are old enough to go to school and ride the bus, they can still benefit from enhanced security. For example, many parents may hide keys to let their children enter the home if they aren’t there. However, this creates a security vulnerability for the home and the child. Criminals who want to break into a home will often check around the property to find a hidden key, and smart door locks can eliminate this risk. These locks can be opened with a code or remotely via smartphone. Asset protection detection devices can also alert you when potentially dangerous doors are opened. These can include gun storage as well as other cabinets storing items unfit for children, such as alcohol.
