Camera security helped Philadelphia police solve an “unprecedented” 30 percent of cases that had video evidence. But surveillance cameras can now do more than protect against burglars; they can be the first line of defense to keep your family safe from other dangers.
More than 15.1 million children stay home alone after school, a number that continues to rise, according to the Afterschool Alliance. Whether your kids come to the house alone or with a nanny, security cameras can help you extend your watch even when you can’t be physically present. Learn how to keep the most precious part of your home safe with indoor and outdoor home surveillance:
- Install a front door camera so your kids never have to open the door when they’re alone. You can monitor package drop-offs and other activity with motion-activated cameras, so you only need to check your security system when someone crosses the step.
- Monitor your teenage driver by placing a security camera near your garage. Ensure Junior isn’t taking the family wheels out for a spin, and that your children come home before curfew.
- Avoid dangerous, unsupervised play near pools and other backyard hazards. Motion-activated cameras are the perfect solution to protect both your kids and any neighborhood children who may wander near a pool without an adult present.
- Keep an eye on the nanny with household cameras. Make sure babysitters come to the house on time and interact well with the kids — instead of watching television.
- Set up a camera near the crib to watch your baby sleeping right from your smartphone if you’re outside with the kids or away from home. You don’t have to worry about being in range of a monitor to hear a little one’s cries because you can see the baby in real time.
