There’s nothing quite like the moment your teen pulls out of the driveway alone for the first time. It’s exciting—and nerve-racking. At Crime Prevention Security Systems (CPSS), we understand that peace of mind matters, especially when new drivers hit the road. With smart technology from CPSS and our partners at Alarm.com, you can monitor both your teen and their vehicle, right from your phone.
🚗 1. Track Your Teen’s Car with Alarm.com’s Connected Car
Now you can extend your home’s smart protection to your teen’s car. The Connected Car device from Alarm.com gives you real-time insights into your vehicle’s location, driving behavior, and diagnostics. It installs easily into the vehicle’s OBD-II port and connects with your CPSS home security system for seamless monitoring.
Features include:
- GPS location tracking
- Speed and hard braking alerts
- Maintenance notifications
- Trip history
- Geo-fencing alerts when they enter or leave set areas
With Connected Car, you’ll know when your teen arrives at school, how fast they’re driving, and if any mechanical issues arise—all from the same app you use to monitor your home.
🎥 2. Use Smart Cameras to Monitor Arrivals and Departures
Your new driver may be coming or going at odd hours. With CPSS’s video surveillance systems, you can check in anytime, from anywhere. Install a Video Doorbell Camera to see who’s coming and going, and pair it with smart alerts that notify you when the door is opened or someone pulls into the driveway.
🔐 3. Secure the Garage and Entry Points
If your teen is using the garage as their main entrance, make sure it’s protected. CPSS offers:
- Remote garage door access
- Entry sensor alerts
- Indoor cameras to monitor access to tools or gear
You can even set rules to auto-close the garage if it’s left open for too long.
🧠 4. Smart Check-Ins Without Nagging
Forget the “Did you make it home?” texts. CPSS smart systems offer digital reassurance:
- Smart locks show when doors are unlocked
- Motion sensors alert you to movement inside
- Custom routines send push notifications when your teen arrives
All of this works quietly in the background—no hovering needed.
🔥 5. Guard Against In-Home Hazards
Whether it’s cooking for the first time or plugging in too many chargers, teens can unknowingly cause fire risks. With monitored smoke and CO detectors, CPSS alerts both you and emergency responders—even when no one’s home.
