As
your kids grow up, it becomes increasingly hard to keep track of them and keep
them where you know they’re safe. They want to go to their friend’s house, they
want to go to the park by themselves, or they want to go out to the movies with
their boyfriend or girlfriend. Here are two ways to teach your child about
safety, and we will also show you how Security
ONE can help you know where your child is and when they got to where
they’re going.

1. Teach your
   child to trust their instincts

As
your child grows older, it is very important to teach them warning signs. Teach
them what to do if they notice someone is walking behind them for too long. Make
sure they know that if you didn’t warn them someone was going to pick them up
from school, they should not go with someone who says, “Your mom/dad told me to
come pick you up.” You can create a ‘password’ that only you, your child, and
anyone who would pick them up would know. This will ensure the child knows it’s
safe to go with them.

• Keep an
  open-talk policy

It’s
very important that your child knows they can come to you with anything.
Keeping an open-talk policy will allow them to feel comfortable coming to you
for help. A lot of kids are often afraid to tell their parents what is
troubling them, in fear of punishment or angering their parents. It is also a
good opportunity to teach your kids good judgment skills when you talk problems
through with them.

You’re probably wondering how Security ONE can play a part in all of
this. Well here’s how:

We offer a number of options, one
of the most recommended for knowing if your child made it home, is our Indoor
IP Camera and Total Connect App.

This camera is a plug and play. All
you need is an internet connection, so you are free to plug it in where you
best see fit. With the easy-to-use Total Connect App, you can see real-time
footage, as well as receive notifications on when your child makes it home from
school. It will send you 10 second clips of these notifications and will be
stored for 30 days. One place we suggest setting your camera up is facing
towards the front door. This is a sure fire way to know who is entering your
house and when.

As a home owner, the protection of your valuables and
personal safety is be a top priority. Protecting your home can be easier than
you think! With some preparation, you can make your home safer without spending
much time or effort. Here are 3 ways to make your home safer!

Fire Safety

Make sure you have at least one smoke detector installed on
each floor of your home. The smoke detectors should be regularly tested to
ensure their functionality. Changing batteries in smoke detectors is as easy as
changing the when change your clocks! Also take a few moments to draw up a planned
fire escape – and involve the whole family! A smart security system from
Security ONE can even monitor smoke detectors. That’s like having an extra set
of eyes and ears on your home even when asleep or away.

Avoid Injuries

Take a walk through your home and take note of any areas
that are likely to cause slips, trips and falls. Look for and repair any loose
wires, rugs, cluttered floors or dimly lit stairwells to maximize your family’s
safety. The most common cause of injuries in the home is falls, so don’t
overlook this simple tip. Once your home hazards are eliminated, you and your
family will feel more at ease. If you or a loved one is at risk of falling, ask
about our GPS medical alerts!

Reduce Access to Water Sources

Water is one of the most dangerous things in your house. If
you have young children or pets, water is even more dangerous. Don’t leave your
kids or pets without supervision. It takes only an inch of water for an infant
to drown. Improve your security plan by updating your security system with a
water leak detector or flood sensor. This will help prevent small leaks from
becoming pricey floods.

Summer is the is top season for moving, and the top season for leaving the house to go exploring. But, it’s also the top season for home break-ins. Here are tips to make your home, new or old, less inviting to would-be criminals.
1. Install a home security system
If your new place doesn’t already have a security system we can help. From traditional home burglary systems to smart security systems to video surveillance, Security ONE has you covered.

2. Secure the garage
Burglars always look for the easiest way to get into a home, which is often the garage. Always keep your garage door locked, and use a quality, heavy-duty lock.
3. Keep the yard tidy
Overgrown bushes, trees, and shrubs are easy places for criminals to hide. A well kept yard also indicates someone is usually home. Install motion lights for added security at night.
4. Don’t broadcast your plans
Planning a vacation this summer? While it’s fun to brag about vacations on social media, you should keep it under wraps. Don’t advertise to the world that your house will be empty during your vacation. Wait until you’re safely back at home to share the details of your awesome trip.

5. Ask your neighbors for help
Neighbors can be a great thing. When you move in, introduce yourself to your neighbors. If you’re going to be out of town for any length of time, let them know. Tell them you’ll keep an eye on their house when they’re away, and ask if they’ll keep an eye on yours. Offer to trade chores like bringing in the mail or cutting the lawn.
6. Don’t leave valuables outside
After a long day working in the yard, it is easy to leave your garden tools out until you’ve completely finished. But leaving valuable items in the yard is an invitation to criminals and it makes their jobs easy. The same goes  for your kids with their bikes and toys. Always put your valuable items away when you’re done using them for the day.
7. Don’t keep keys outside
You may think you’re being sneaky by hiding a key under the doormat, but that’s the first place any criminal is going to look. Invest in a proper lock box and leave spare key with a trusted neighbor, friend, or family member.
8. Shut the windows
Lastly, though it may be tempting to open the windows and keep them open on a beautiful day, don’t. Even if you think you’ll only be gone for a few minutes, always close and lock all windows when you leave the house.
