A Security Pro Tip from Matt Harvey with Alert 360

Back-to-school season brings new routines for families. For many parents, it also means children are arriving home before the adults do.

Fortunately, today’s smart home security technology makes it easy to stay connected. With Alert 360, you can receive instant notifications, check live video, and monitor activity from anywhere using the mobile app. Instead of wondering if your child made it home safely, you’ll know.

Know the Moment They Arrive Home

Alert 360’s smart security system keeps you informed every step of the way.

• Receive a notification when your child disarms the security system.
• Get an alert when a smart lock is unlocked with their personal code.
• View a keypad camera image showing who entered the home.
• Know if the system is disarmed again after they arrive, indicating they may be leaving.

These real-time alerts provide greater peace of mind throughout the afternoon.

Check In from Anywhere

Whether you’re at work, traveling, or running errands, the Alert 360 mobile app helps you stay connected.

You can:

• View live video from indoor and outdoor security cameras.
• See who’s at the front door using a smart video doorbell.
• Review recorded video clips if you miss a notification.
• Confirm your child entered the home safely.
• See if friends arrived with them.

It’s a simple way to stay informed without interrupting your child’s day.

Create Smarter After-School Routines

Smart home automation can help make every afternoon safer and more convenient.

Consider automations such as:

• Unlocking the door with a personalized access code.
• Automatically locking the door after entry.
• Turning on lights when your child comes home.
• Adjusting the thermostat before they arrive.
• Receiving alerts if a door is left open.
• Knowing if your child leaves the house after getting home.
• Checking in with an interior camera while they do homework.

These smart features help create a comfortable, secure home environment.

Help Kids Build Safe Habits

Technology is even more effective when it’s paired with good habits. Encourage your children to:

• Lock the door immediately after entering.
• Arm the security system in Stay Mode.
• Never open the door for strangers.
• Contact a parent if something doesn’t feel right.
• Avoid posting on social media that they’re home alone.

Teaching these habits helps children become more confident and security-aware.

Peace of Mind for the Whole Family

Back-to-school season is busy, but your family’s safety shouldn’t be a question mark. Whether you’re receiving an arrival notification, checking a live camera feed, or answering the front door remotely, Alert 360 helps you stay connected wherever you are.

Professional monitoring, smart home security, video doorbells, cameras, smart locks, and automation all work together to help protect what matters most.
