Smart home tech helps parents during the school year. You can see your kids get home on a door camera, unlock the door from your phone, and lock it again. Sensors can also send you a note about smoke or carbon monoxide.
Well, it’s that time of the year again. Time for the kids to go back to school and time for us parents to worry just a little bit more about their safety. What can we do to keep our kids safe and sound? Well, I have a few ideas. Here’s how my wife and I are going to protect our children when they get home from school and we’re not there . . .
- Through the magic of smart home technology, we’ll remotely see our kids come home from school by way of wireless outdoor cameras, remotely unlock the front door to let them in and lock the door behind them – – Just by using our smart phone or tablet. Simple as that!
- Ever wonder what the kids are up to in the house while you’re at work? Stop wondering! Check on them from the office with indoor home cameras that watch their every move – – Cameras that we access from our smart phone or tablet. What a load off our minds!
- Don’t let the kids get near the stove or into cleaning supply cabinets, medicine drawers and any gun cases when you’re not around. Smart home sensors notify our phone or tablet when our little ones’ hands try to get into things where they don’t belong.
- Never fear – – Our smart home can even detect smoke, fire and carbon monoxide. At the first sign of any trouble, our smart home alerts our phone or tablet to a potential problem (before it gets out of hand) and our home automation system contacts the fire department. Help is on the way!

What One Sound Choice clients say
We one a vacation home and were concerned with security when we are not there. 1 Sound Choice provided camera that allowed us to record all activity for a month and we could dial into the system from the internet. The system also will automatically flash lights inside the home to discourage intruders from entering.

(We received) friendly, highly competent, quick and clean installation by 1 Sound Choice. The team followed up a few weeks after completion to ask if we were satisfied with our Media Room and Home Audio System. 1 Sound Choice is truly “top shelf” – they surpassed our expectations every step of the way.
