Security Monitoring
Smart Doorbells with Video Monitoring
Devices like Ring Video Doorbell or Arlo Video Doorbell allow seniors to see and communicate with visitors without opening the door. These doorbells provide real-time video feeds and motion alerts, enabling seniors to monitor their home’s entryway and ensuring peace of mind for both them and their families.
​
Home Alarm Systems with Remote Monitoring
Integrated alarm systems from companies like SimpliSafe or Ring provide comprehensive security with features like motion detectors, window sensors, and panic buttons. These systems can alert seniors and their families to potential break-ins or emergencies, and some services offer 24/7 professional monitoring for added protection.
Smart Cameras for Indoor and Outdoor Security
Smart cameras, such as Google Nest Cam or Blink Outdoor, provide 24/7 video surveillance of a home’s interior and exterior. They can send notifications when motion is detected and offer live feeds accessible to both seniors and their family members, enhancing safety and deterring potential intruders.
Emergency Buttons and Wearable Alerts
Devices like Life Alert or MobileHelp provide seniors with wearable emergency buttons that can be pressed to call for help during a crisis. These systems often include GPS tracking, enabling responders or family members to quickly locate the senior in an emergency.
Smart Locks for Controlled Access
Devices like August Smart Lock or Schlage Encode enable seniors to lock and unlock doors remotely or through voice commands. These locks allow family members or caregivers to gain secure access without needing physical keys, reducing the risk of lost or misplaced keys while maintaining security.
Smart Lighting for Security
Smart lighting systems like Philips Hue or LIFX can be programmed to simulate occupancy by turning lights on and off at specific times, deterring potential intruders. Motion-activated lights can also illuminate outdoor spaces if movement is detected, enhancing visibility and safety.
