6 Thanksgiving Safety Tips from Custom Security Systems

6 Thanksgiving Safety Tips from Custom Security Systems

Nothing puts a damper on a Holiday meal like a visit from first responders. To avoid fires and injuries, it is important to put safety measures in place before guests arrive! And don’t worry—these don’t add extra stress to your day or pull you away from guests. These simple Holiday safety tips from Custom Security Systems are just what you need for a stress-free and emergency-free holiday!

Six Holiday Safety Tips For Your Thanksgiving

Don’t let a fire or other safety hazard steal the joy from your holiday season. With just a little extra precaution, you can keep your holiday events running smoothly and without a visit from the fire department. And with the help of our home security and fire alarm systems from Custom Security Systems, you can feel even more secure during the holiday season. These safety tips from a trusted home security company can help to keep your family and holiday plans free from emergencies!

1. Don’t Leave Your Stove Top Unattended

Spending time with company is one of the many joys of Holiday. But, don’t forget about items on your stove or in the oven while you’re busy catching up! Not only could your dish burn, but it can also become a potential fire hazard. Something as simple as setting a timer on your phone or your Amazon Alexa can do the trick. If you still have dishes to prepare after your company arrives, make sure that you or another adult is free to keep an eye on your cooking. And don’t forget to turn off all burners after you’ve finished cooking!

2. Keep Children Away from the Stove and Cooking Utensils

In the midst of holiday excitement, curious children may wander into dangerous situations. Make sure to keep all possible hazards away from roaming hands. Keep handles of skillets and pans turned to the side out of reach. If possible, keep all pots on the back burners of your stove to keep them even further away from small children. And, make sure that an adult is monitoring your pots, pans, utensils, and appliances at all times. 

3. Keep Lit Candles in Rooms with Supervision

Fall scents can add to the holiday ambiance, but don’t let a candle go unsupervised! Light candles in rooms where your company will gather. Not only will they get to enjoy the pleasant scent of the candle, but they will also notice if the candle falls, breaks, or ignites other materials in the room. And as with other breakable, sharp, or flammable materials, make sure to set candles out of reach of children. Consider flameless candles as a safe alternative.

4. Test Your Fire Alarms to Make Sure They Are Working

Our home fire system can protect your family from fires and carbon monoxide when you’re home or away! If an emergency strikes, we alert your local fire department for fast assistance. Just make sure that your detector is working. When in doubt, switching to a set of fresh batteries is never a bad idea. 

5. Clean Your Oven Before Cooking

Cleaning out any grease or charcoal in your oven doesn’t just prevent unwanted smells from wafting throughout your home. The extra prep can also prevent house fires! Food particles and oil can ignite with the heat in your oven. This can quickly grow out of hand, especially if you are not keeping an eye on your oven. With a little pre-cleaning, you can avoid dangerous fires. And don’t forget to keep an eye on the food in your oven in case any food spills over.

Along with cleaning your oven, make sure that your floor is clear of any items that could cause trips or slips. Area rugs, loose floorboards, or wet spots can be dangerous for those in your house. Keep toys and bags out of walkways to avoid falling. This also makes it easier to vacate the house in case of an emergency!

6. Keep a Fire Extinguisher, Just in Case

It never hurts to have a fire extinguisher on hand. Class B fire extinguishers can be safely used in the kitchen on flammable liquids, like kitchen grease. Keep this stored under your kitchen sink or in your closet for easy access in case of an emergency. And, check your extinguisher monthly to ensure it is still up to date and pressurized. If a kitchen fire breaks out, pull the pin in your extinguisher, aim the nozzle at the fire, and slowly squeeze the level to spray. Move side to side in sweeping motions to catch all of the flames. 

But remember: If you attempt to fight the fire, make sure that all other occupants are quickly making their way out of the house. And, make sure that you have a clear path to exit as swiftly as possible. If your fire cannot be controlled, vacate the premises immediately and contact your fire department. Close the door to your oven if this is where the fire is, and close the door to your home to keep the flames from spreading.

How Security Systems Can Help With Fall Prevention

How Personal Security Solutions Help Seniors Stay Safer

When family members get older, some of the everyday tasks we take for granted can present new risks. Necessary activities such as cooking, bathing, or just walking around the house can become more hazardous. And a misstep or fall could lead to a serious injury when no one else is around. However, modern security technology can offer personal security solutions to keep seniors safer. At Custom Security Systems, we offer security services that go beyond keeping your home safe. Many understand the importance of fall prevention for seniors. And there are steps seniors and family members can take to better safeguard themselves against injuries at home. But when a fall occurs, the time it takes for help to arrive can be crucial. Learn which steps you may be able to take to prevent this situation from occurring. And, in the event that an emergency does happen, discover how Custom Security Systems’ services could help when time matters most.

What Makes Fall Prevention So Important?

According to the CDC, one out of five falls causes a serious injury, such as head trauma or broken bones. And, more than 95 percent of hip fractures are caused by falling, especially sideways falling. But there are things seniors can do to avoid becoming a part of those statistics.

One key thing to consider is the person’s current and previous health conditions. A serious fall can increase the likelihood of another serious fall down the line. And certain conditions, such as vitamin D deficiency, vision and balance problems, certain medications, and lasting conditions (such as stroke or arthritis) can also increase risk. If the at-risk individual has an in-home caregiver, it can be important to discuss these risks as well as steps that can be taken to minimize them.

How Can Seniors Safeguard Themselves Against Fall-Related Injuries?

Additionally, certain home modifications can also protect against injuries. These can include taking steps like installing safety rails and non-slip surfaces in bathrooms. Ensuring that the home’s lighting is sufficient can also prove helpful. However, even with these measures, some risk for falls and other injuries still persists. 

But personal security systems can provide enhanced protection. For example, you may be able to add a medical alert device to a home’s security system without increasing your monthly bill. In the event of an emergency, our local monitoring station can take quick action to get help. Wellness services can also enhance a personal security plan. This service can use a home’s sensors and motion detectors to recognize potential health issues. 

Enjoy a Greater Level of Safety and Security With Custom Security Systems

The key to fall prevention is to take a proactive approach. Custom Security Systems is dedicated to keeping clients safer with innovative technology and reliable monitoring services. To learn how we could keep your home or a loved one’s home safer, call us at 225-927-5535 or use our chat feature to speak with a representative.

Learn how to set schedules for your smart home security.

How to Set Schedules for Your Smart Home Security

In this age of smart technology, your smartphone, tablet, laptop, and even smart TV can be incorporated into your home’s security system. With Custom Security Systems, all you need is our app and our integrated home security devices! Use our smart device app and Z-Wave devices to easily set schedules for your smart home system and enjoy greater peace of mind wherever you may be. Smart home security systems are convenient, interactive ways to protect what matters most. Here are our tips to make your home smart.

First, What Are the Benefits of a Smart Home Security System?

Smart home security systems allow you to keep an eye on your home whether you are across town or away on vacation. These systems monitor your home, your pets, and your children to ensure that your loved ones and belongings are secure. With Custom Security Systems’ Z-Wave technology, you can link your various smart devices to your home security system! This means that you can not only receive security alerts, but you can also control your lights, thermostat settings, and even lock your doors remotely.

Need Help Setting Schedules for Your Smart Home System?

Z-Wave is the hub of your smart home. With our technology from Custom Security Systems, you have options to take care of your home while you’re away. This technology allows you to control multiple devices around your home through smart technology. Through wireless communications, smart items—including locks, thermostats, televisions, security cameras, and more—can be controlled with ease through a smart application. Once you have installed these Z-Wave devices, simply download the Custom Security Systems application and further customize your security settings to meet your needs! Here’s how you can customize your home:

Smart Door Locks

Have you ever locked your key inside your home or forgotten to lock your door when leaving? Our smart door locks help to take the stress of your home security off your shoulders. Up to 30 users can set personalized key codes to manually enter into your doorknob’s keypad. Or, you can lock or unlock your door remotely. Our smart locks can also be set to auto-lock when you leave. These settings are available to provide you with extra peace of mind, especially for the security of your children or senior adult residents.

Smart Climate Control

Control your smart thermostat and adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting before you get home from work with your smart device. Set thermostat schedules for when you are home, going to sleep, waking up, and away. You can even access Geo-Services to adjust your temperature depending on how close you are to home! The best part? These smart temperature settings may help homes and businesses save up to 20% on their energy bills!

Smart Lighting Control

If you work late-night shifts or are returning to your home late at night, smart lighting control is available to greet you when you get home. Rather than entering a dark house, you can program your Custom Security smart system to turn your lights on as you arrive. You can also set them to turn off when you leave to prevent costly energy bills. Within our app, you can schedule what time of day your lights should turn on and off. With the help of our smart lighting control, you’re never left in the dark—literally.

Hurricane season is coming! See how you can better prepare your home and home security system with Custom Security.

Prepare Your Home Security System for Hurricanes!

We’re getting deeper and deeper into the storm season, and everyone is getting ready with sandbags, food stocking, and more. But there’s more that you should do to prepare for the upcoming weather. A good home security system can help keep you safer and more aware during a hurricane! But how? Find out what our home security system can do for you and schedule your setup today.

No Power? No Problem!

One of the biggest concerns when it comes to strong storms is power outages. And when it happens, wouldn’t your home security system go out as well? This isn’t so with systems from Custom Security! In the event that your power goes out, your security system uses a backup battery to continue the job. Most batteries last about 24 hours, so it would be helpful to have extra on hand, just in case. Once power is restored, the battery recharges. Not sure how to change the battery? Take a look at this helpful YouTube video to better understand and be ready just in case the power goes out. 

But there are other ways to be prepared with a power-related emergency. For example, you can set up your security system mobile app to alert you to power outages and restorals. This is best for the moments that you aren’t in town and can’t tell until later. Then you can send someone over to make arrangements for moving pets and perishable items.

We also suggest you add a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for your camera system. This gives you about 20 minutes of power, so your DVR keeps recording. This is a great option for both homes and businesses, especially for insurance purposes in case something happens, such as a tree falling on your building. 

Other Ways to Stay Safe

Power isn’t the only concern when it comes to storms. In order to prevent false alarms during a storm, make sure to close your storage or shed doors tightly and lock them, if possible. Heavy winds could blow them open and ruin anything inside. Additionally, we suggest that you take the time now to program our monitoring station’s number into your cell phone so you know when we’re calling. Many people these days don’t answer their phones to numbers they don’t know. 

Of course, there’s also the concern about gas, carbon monoxide, and other inhalants during a storm. Many people have chosen to get a generator, but the recent storm has also taught us that generator use can be dangerous if you aren’t careful. Generators should be either outside of your home, or in the garage only if you leave the door open so that harmful gases can get out. Some other sources of carbon monoxide to watch out for during a storm include charcoal or gas grills, gas or propane-powered saws, and gas ranges. Luckily, carbon monoxide detectors are battery-powered. Meaning they will work even when the power is out so you can stay safe.

Because each home is different and has its own needs, we suggest you sit down and make a game plan with your family to see what can benefit your home, including adding a home security system. Contact us if you need any help with determining the right system for your household!

Looking for camera system installation in Baton Rouge?

The Right Camera System For Your Pets

When it comes to the safety of your home, many residents believe that their home only needs a security system, and that’s the end of it. But what about emergencies that include other members of the family while you’re out? The furry members of your family also deserve the care and attention that the rest of your home receives. If you need a camera system, there’s only one team that can handle the right installation for your Baton Rouge home. Discover more about what Custom Security can do for you!

Picking The Right Cameras

With people still returning to in-person work, we’ve become accustomed to always being around our pets. But the thing is, we can’t take them to our office jobs! On the other hand, many pet owners worry when they leave their pets home alone. That’s where having cameras comes in. With the right camera, you can make sure that your furry friend is safe both in and outside the house.

At Custom Security, we have camera systems available to suit your needs. If your animal is more of an outside explorer, we can set up outdoor cameras to keep an eye on them. On the other hand, we also have indoor cameras for that loveable couch potato. But these don’t have to be simple cameras. We have access to infrared camera technology so you can keep watching your animal in the middle of the night. That way, you can check on your pets to see that they aren’t in harm’s way. You also have the option of talking to your pets through the camera so they don’t feel so alone. 

Other Ways Our System Keeps Your Pet Safe

Of course, there are other ways than cameras to keep your pets safe or to accommodate them to your new alarm system. With our security system, we have a multitude of security options to choose from so your home can be safe the way you want it to be. 

Take our sensors, for example. You can add a sensor to your gates or even to cabinet doors. This makes sure your pets aren’t being naughty or that a stranger isn’t letting themselves in. Alternatively, if you already have a security system, we can add a pet-friendly motion detector. These accommodate pets up to a certain weight, and their movements don’t trigger your alarm. Our sensor technology can also keep pets safer.  For example, a sensor on the gate in front of home alerts the owner when a gate is opened or left open. This makes it easier to keep dogs at home where they should be instead of running around the neighborhood or potentially getting lost or hurt. 

Cabinet sensors can also be incredibly useful for child and pet safety. If a child or pet gets into a cabinet with cleaning chemicals or other hazards, you can receive a potentially life-saving alert. We also go the extra mile to protect pets with our monitored fire systems. If our systems notice signs of a potential fire, we can alert you and the authorities even if you’re away from home. We note the number of pets in the home as well as their favorite hiding spots to make it easier for firefighters to find them if needed. With our monitoring services, you can breathe easier knowing your pets and loved ones are protected.

When it comes to a home security system, it’s not just about your home—it’s also about who’s in the home.

One great way to add to it is with our security cameras. Now, cameras are more affordable and easier to use than ever before. On top of that, they can be placed practically anywhere, inside or out. Now you can watch for danger in the street or from your own door. More subdivisions choose to protect their residents with video, and with our neighborhood cameras, you can clearly see license plates even in the dark. 

Of course, cameras aren’t the only way you can add to your home security system. You also can add fire alarms, garage openers, locks—you name it! But you may wonder, “How does it help me if I’m not home?” and “How can I take care of everything while I’m away?” Thanks to modern technology, this is easier than ever!

What IS Home Automation?

The idea of Smart Homes is you can control different aspects of your home from wherever you are with your phone. With Custom Security, we have an app available for you to take control of your home security system. Instead of worrying about whether or your security system is armed or even if you left the light on, you can just open the app. Home automation is also about awareness of what’s going on at home, and with devices like flood sensors, you can be alerted if something unexpected happens.

Give Your Home’s Security a Fresh Start for the New Year

It’s a new year, which means it’s a great time to consider security improvements for your home. Whether you need new services and systems or upgrades to what you currently have, 2021 should be the year when you put your safety first. Find out how a trusted camera security company can better protect your home in Prairieville and surrounding areas. And learn why an upgrade to your security system makes sense in 2021.

Home Renovation

If you’ve recently renovated your home or plan to do so soon, it’s important to make sure your security is upgraded as well. For instance, new windows or doors often require the addition or replacement of alarm system sensors to protect your home’s perimeter. Complement your home’s new look while adding security features you can depend on, such as a sleek touchscreen keypad. With the unpredictable weather of recent years, flood sensors can help you protect your new floors and furnishings as well. So when you renovate your space, just remember, your home security needs are a top priority. 

Rising Crime Rates Increase the Need for Home Security

We may not like to think about it, but crime was on the rise last year, and that trend could continue into 2021. East Baton Rouge Parish shattered previous homicide records in 2020, making it the most dangerous year on record. And other crimes, such as burglary and assault, remain constant threats.

However, there are changes you can make to enhance your home’s security. The addition of 24/7 color cameras lets you see who is near your home through your phone, computer, or tablet. So, if a criminal is close, the camera can alert you and provide detailed information, such as the color of the vehicle and clothing. 

You can even receive alerts when visitors show up when you’re away from home with our doorbell cameras. This is also helpful for keeping up with packages delivered while you’re out. So, when you need a security camera company in Prairieville or Baton Rouge, Custom Security Systems has you (and your home or business) covered.

When Your Life Changes, Custom Security Systems Is There

Renovations aren’t the only new home additions families have to worry about. When your family grows, you need security systems and features you can rely on. Our remote-view camera systems allow you to look in on your new baby at any time. So you can enjoy added peace of mind wherever you are. 

And with the kids at home more, you can keep a closer eye on medicine, firearm, and liquor cabinets as well as your outdoor gate to help you keep your home secure. These sensors can be especially important for homes with small children and pools. We even offer pet-friendly motion detectors, so you won’t have to worry about Fido triggering a false alarm while you’re away. 

Homes with elderly family members can also enjoy enhanced protection with personal security solutions. This detects changes in their mobility and provides fall alerts when time matters most. Our Wellness service can also track potential health changes in real-time, offering a new level of safety for seniors.

Looking for an Experienced Security Camera Company in Prairieville?

Make your home safer, more convenient, and more secure in 2021. Custom Security Systems gives you technology and services you can depend on so you can monitor and manage your home’s security and smart features through several smart devices. These can work on a variety of different devices, including Siri, Google Home, Alexa, and Apple Watch as well as smartphones, tablets, and PCs. If you have questions, give us a call at 225.927.5535 or schedule an appointment. Worry less and start enjoying a safer home in the new year.

Smart Home Safety This Holiday Season

With the end of the year fast approaching, time feels as if everything is kicked into high gear. But all this running around can make it harder to remain safe or even easier to make security mistakes. Our team at Custom Security Systems has your safety in mind, and that’s why we’re here to provide some important insight and offer security options to keep you and your family safe during these holiday months. Be smart when it comes to your home’s safety with help from our Baton Rouge professionals.

Integrating Security With the Holidays

Many people have their homes well defended, meaning that their security systems have numerous aspects around the house that are all necessary. With the holiday season, it’s often difficult to avoid mishaps if you aren’t careful. Our team cares about YOUR safety, and we have some helpful tips to avoid mishaps as best as possible.

Decorations are a wonderful way to bring a festive atmosphere to your home, but if you aren’t careful, they can interfere with your security system. As cameras are often tucked away or in places we hang decorations, it’s easy to accidentally obscure their sight. Ensure you know all the locations of your security cameras beforehand and then put up garlands with care.

On the other hand, you also have to consider motion detectors. The biggest issue is ensuring that these detectors aren’t covered by anything. Confirm that nothing is blocking your motion detectors, or else they won’t work correctly in an emergency. The same goes for a wreath on your front door. In the wrong place, this decoration could cover your door sensor and potentially cause issues. 

Additionally, not everyone stays home for the holidays. But with Custom Security Systems, you don’t have to worry about the safety of your home. With our app, you can ensure everything is alright wherever you are. Also, make sure that your call list is updated with valid phone numbers so if there are issues, we know how to get in touch with you. If this is out of date, it can cause problems in the future.

Lastly, be sure to put out your yard sign! The sign alone is enough to make any sensible grinch think twice about their actions. 

Making Sure Your Family Is Safe

We all want to ensure our family is safe. But with certain members of the family, such as the elderly and children, some special care is necessary. However, with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it can be hard to keep your eye on those at risk in your home. Take charge of your family’s security with help from Custom Security Systems. 

One great way to keep your family safe when you can’t be there is by utilizing a personal panic button. These buttons can be worn as necklaces, bracelets, or belt clips, which the user can press once they’re in trouble. An example of when one of these is useful is if an elderly member of the family falls, cannot get up on their own (or are hurt), and nobody else is around. By having a personal panic button, your family members have the ability to get help on their own, and can help turn a bad situation into a life-saving scenario.

Resideo Products From Your Local Alarm Company This Holiday Season

With the holiday season right around the corner, there’s a lot to look forward to. Although this is the time for giving, it’s also the time of year for heightened protection. Even during the jolliest time of year, crime doesn’t sleep and neither do we. As your local alarm company, we’re dedicated to protecting you 24/7, and we have products that help with just that. Discover more about how our Resideo products can help you stay safe this holiday season.

No Place Like (a Smart) Home for the Holidays

Statistically, a burglary happens every 25.7 seconds in the United States. With stats like that, it’s important to make sure that you’re protected. Thanks to Resideo, we have the means to protect you as best as possible.

At Custom Security Systems, safety for our customers is our top priority, which is why we offer a large array of security cameras to choose from. Resideo’s home security cameras are affordable and useful for both security and convenience. For example, setting up your outside cameras facing your front yard allows you to keep an eye out for any possible intruders, even in the nighttime, thanks to our infrared technology.

Other cameras Resideo offers include stylish and user-friendly doorbell cameras. With the holiday season rolling in, so are the delivery trucks. But that also means porch pirates are coming along for what they consider “easy pickings.” With one of Resideo’s doorbell cameras, you can monitor anyone that comes to your door, and if you’re a victim of this type of theft, a doorbell camera can help you get a good look at the people who did it. 

Another great addition to Smart Home products is the Smart Lock. With one of Resideo’s Smart Locks, you no longer need to worry about whether you locked the door or not. If you’re already on the road for the holidays, no problem. Simply go to your app and lock the door remotely. 

Prevent More Than Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

Even though it’s the coldest time of the year, fires occur more often than you might realize. But they’re not always due to the fireplace. Because of the amount of lights, nearly any place is a potential hazard for a fire, especially if you have a Christmas tree. Dried pine trees and hot LED lights are especially hazardous, which is why it’s always important to keep your tree watered and healthy. 

However, with a Resideo fire alarm system, we can help you get the situation under control. Have a monitored smoke alarm ready in your major living spaces, especially near the tree, and avoid a small mishap becoming a major holiday disaster.
