The kids are out of school because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but you’re still working an essential job. It looks like summer vacation came early this year, so how do you watch the kids while you’re at work? Smart home security has your back with alerts that help you check on the kids no matter where you are.

Alerts for Open Doors

A smart home security system can keep an eye on your house until you get home from work, and one helpful feature is the open door and window alert. Place contact sensors on doors and windows, and the security system sends you an alert when a door or window is open too long.

This alert allows you to text the kids and tell them to close the door. Or, you can have alerts sent to the whole family so whoever is home can close it when they receive the alert. Not only will your house be secure, but you can save on utility bills as well.

Smart User Code Alerts

The kids may go out with another family member or out to the park with a babysitter while you’re at work. You want to know they made it home safely, right? With a smart home security system, you can give each of the kids a user code that works with smart locks you install on your doors.

The code lets them in the house, and you can set the system to send you an alert whenever one of the children uses their code. You’ll have peace of mind knowing they made it home safely.

Smart Video Clips Let You See That They Made It Home Safely

Install smart security cameras around your house, and you can actually see that the kids made it home and who they’re with. You can set the security system to send you video clips every time a defined action triggers them.

For instance, you can set your video doorbell to take a smart clip whenever one of the kids’ user codes is used to get into the house. Setting a specific trigger lets you receive the alerts you want without getting overwhelmed with video clips that aren’t relevant to the kids’ safety.

You can also see who is with them and if they have unapproved guests. In the age of social distancing, it’s important to keep your home safe, and unapproved guests could unknowingly bring COVID-19 into your house.

You may have noticed that many of your home security devices are focused on protecting the area around the front door, starting with the doorbell camera and continuing with the first indoor motion sensors that detect whether there has been a break-in. But what about the door itself? That’s where smart locks come in.

What is a smart lock?

• A timed auto-lock feature, should you forget to lock up when you leave or arrive home
• Location-based locking reminders to your smartphone when you need them
• One-touch remote locking, enabling you to lock doors from anywhere with your phone
• Unexpected activity notifications, to notify you about unusual door locking events

There’s also integration into the Scenes feature on your home security app; more on that in a moment.

Can it connect to your other smart devices?

Yes! Your smart locks can link to the other smart devices in your home, and all can be controlled on your home security app. This enables you to perform all kinds of helpful home security actions, including unlocking the door for visitors after confirming who they are via video alert. This is great whether the visitor is a friend dropping by while you’re outside at the grill, or a delivery person dropping off a package while you’re at work.

Another thing you can do because of this device connection is use the Scenes feature on your app to lock the door, arm the security system and turn on the lights, all at the same time. If you have a smart thermostat, it can also be incorporated into those commands.

Can other people use my smart lock?

They can, if your smart lock has a numerical keypad. While you have your family’s main numerical access code, you can assign temporary ones to friends and family who may be staying over. These codes are also ideal for babysitters, housesitters, dog walkers and other workers you employ. The codes can be activated and deactivated at your discretion. This is your home security, and you’re in control of it.

These are some important ways smart locks go hand-in-hand with home security. To learn more about smart locks, call Post Alarm. We will be glad to answer your questions.
