Summer Safety Part 1: School's Out

Summer is around the corner and for most children that means school is out! As a working parent, it's not always possible to be home with your children 24-hours a day. Whether your children are old enough to stay home while you are away or stay home with a sitter, just because they are on summer break does not mean that burglaries are too! In fact, most burglaries occur during the summer months, all the more reason to be prepared. Burglars aside, anytime you leave your children home alone there are always those nagging questions in the back of your mind: What if there's a fire? Are the doors locked? What if there is an emergency? Are they even home? These are all legitimate concerns that may never go away but there is a simple solution that can give you the peace of mind that you need to enjoy your summer; a monitored home security system.

Home Security Systems

A home security system can monitor your home while you are away at work, on vacation, running errands, etc. and you will also have the ability to keep track of activity inside your home from your smart, tablet or computer. For example, if your children are home alone and they are told not to leave or open the front door for any reason and the front door is opened, you will be notified. Same goes for medical emergencies, or if a fire, flood or carbon monoxide leak is detected. Also, motion sensors can be placed on other doors or gates that are off limits, such as rooms that contain guns or gates that lead to a pool. Security Essentials & Home Entertainment offer affordable solutions for protecting your family from potential burglars and more. Our options include:

Pairing your home security system with HD security camera's will give you the peace of mind that you need when leaving your children alone.
