Updating home security for you and your kids, as well as childproofing around the house, is easy, thanks to up-to-date home security solutions and home alarm systems that address your needs. First, let’s do a brief check on what you might have overlooked:
Series of Unfortunate Events
1. The Uninvited
Last January 22, 2015, KHOU Houston Texas reported that a mother and her two daughters aged 5 and 9 were forced in the closet by five home invaders. At the time of the robbery, the father was said to be out of town and the robbers ransacked the house for about 20 minutes. Things can still be replaced, but a person beaten is a different story. In Macclenny, Florida, a mother from Baker County and her 7-year old son were beaten by 3 suspects who broke their homes. They were treated at a hospital after the said incident.
2. Playing With Fire
Kids can be playful but they can also be at the risk of causing fires at home. In Louisiana, CNN reports that two children left alone by their mother who went to a salon for styling died because of a house fire. Authorities said that two gas heaters were left unattended and caused the fire in the living room which destroyed the entire house. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that in 2013, an estimated 1,240,000 fires happened in the country, with property loss estimated at $11.5 billion, and 3,240 civilian fire fatalities. These statistics can be decreased and fire fatalities can be avoided by simply installing smoke sensors in the key areas of your house that may be the starting point of fire incidents, such as the kitchen. Whether you go wireless or wired, you’ll have the peace of mind that your kids will be safe from possible fire incidents through the help of smoke sensors.
3. Abusive Nannies
Child safety is always a priority, and nothing beats the feeling of assurance that your kids are safe and sound even while you are at work, or whenever you need to go outside the house for other matters. Though it might help to get a neighbor to lookout for your kids or hiring a nanny, sometimes they can also be the cause of misery of your kids. If you are suspicious of your nanny doing questionable things at home or hurting your children, it is definitely a good idea to install security cameras so you know the real deal of your nanny’s movements. Be sure to have a covert spy camera located on your living room or at your child’s bedroom to see if your kid is telling the truth about his/her nanny. Just make sure these cameras are well positioned, fully functional, and tell your kids that it is a secret between you and them.
4. Not So Kiddie Pool
Installing a kiddie pool at your home for your child’s enjoyment is definitely a great idea for them to enjoy the outdoors and practice water activities. But your pool might also be one of those danger zones for your kids. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional death worldwide, having an estimated number of 372,000 annual deaths due to drowning. WHO further reports that children, especially those who have increased water access, are at high risk of drowning. In order to keep your kids safe while enjoying the pool, install a pool-spa alarm to be notified of unauthorized pool use. This will also help kids to be safe if ever there are pool-related incidents that might occur at the middle of their fun pool time.
5. When A Stranger Calls
Aside from teaching your kids not to talk to strangers, it helps if you give them useful information about burglars. If there are suspicious persons sneaking at the windows or the back door, your child must maintain presence of mind and remain calm enough to take the next precautionary measures. This is helpful, especially if your child is still small, a security camera that allows you for remotely monitor them through your mobile or PC through the internet is a great help so that you are easily alerted once burglars are lurking around your house.
