Make Your Family’s Summer Safer with Home Automation

Summer Safety Tips from Your Home Automation Company 

When school’s out for the summer, managing your kids’ comings and goings can be tricky. You want to give them freedom to enjoy the summer with friends, but understandably, you’re still worried about their safety. 

So what if your smart home system could help keep an eye on the children—even when you're not around? As a leading home automation company in Fort Lauderdale, FL, First Priority Audio integrates advanced technology that keeps families safe. 

Here's how smart home automation can help you stay connected and secure this summer.

Smart Door Locks and Surveillance

Imagine receiving a notification every time the front door is unlocked, complete with a snapshot from your video doorbell. With smart locks and surveillance cameras integrated into a Control4 system, you can monitor who comes and goes. Whether it's your teenager returning home late or friends arriving for a pool party, you'll be instantly informed.

For instance, if the front door unlocks at an unusual hour, you'll get a push notification along with a live video feed. This way, you can ensure your kids aren’t sneaking out—or in with uninvited guests. Similarly, cameras around the garage can alert you to any movement, helping to prevent unauthorized late-night drives or unsupervised gatherings.

Notifications for Interior Doors and Cabinets

Smart sensors can be placed on interior doors, cabinets, and drawers, providing another layer of security. For example, if your teenager attempts to access the liquor cabinet, you’ll receive an immediate alert on your smartphone. This helps prevent unauthorized access and fosters responsible behavior among teens.

Enhance Outdoor Safety and Enjoyment

With smart outdoor lighting, you can ensure your backyard is always well-lit, making it safer for kids to play after dark. Motion-activated lights can illuminate pathways and deter potential intruders, while landscape lighting highlights your home’s best features, creating a welcoming environment for guests.

Additionally, integrating your outdoor lighting with your home automation system means you can control everything from your smartphone or set schedules for lights to turn on at dusk and off at dawn. This way, you never have to worry about dark corners in your yard when the kids are out playing.

Smart Home Technology for Peace of Mind

Integrating smart technology like Control4 and Josh.ai voice control allows you to manage your home's security and functionality effortlessly. With voice commands, you can lock doors, turn on lights, or check security cameras without lifting a finger. 

For example, if you're busy cooking dinner and want to check if your kids are okay in the backyard, a simple voice command to check outdoor camera feeds will give you peace of mind without interrupting your task.

And if you’re away from home? With a 4Sight Control4 subscription, you can remotely control your Control4 smart home: toggling lights, smart locks, fans, AC, and more on the app—even from hundreds of miles away. If you left your teenage kids home for the night, you’re still in charge and in the know with Control4.
