As summer winds down and backpacks come out, families across Florida are adjusting to new routines. The back-to-school season brings excitement—but it also comes with new safety concerns. At Crime Prevention Security Systems (CPSS), we’re here to help you protect what matters most, with smart home technology and time-tested security solutions for peace of mind during the busy school year.
1. Keep Tabs with Smart Video Surveillance
With school back in session, kids may be coming home before you get off work. CPSS offers indoor and outdoor security cameras that give you real-time access to your home from your smartphone. Whether your child is arriving on the bus or a delivery driver is at the door, you can monitor activity from anywhere.
Want to see who’s at the front door? Our Video Doorbell Camera offers two-way audio and live HD video—perfect for checking in without interrupting your day.
2. Know When They Get Home – Instantly
Our smart security systems offer custom alerts that notify you when doors are unlocked or motion is detected. You’ll know the moment your child arrives home—and if anyone else tries to enter.
Pair it with smart locks so your kids don’t need to carry keys (and risk losing them). You can even assign unique access codes for family members, babysitters, or neighbors.
3. Fire and CO Safety: A Non-Negotiable
Busy mornings and after-school snacks increase the risk of home hazards. Make sure your home is equipped with monitored smoke and CO detectors from CPSS. In case of danger, we alert emergency services even if you’re not home.

4. Set the Thermostat for Comfort and Savings
Kids forget to close the door. The A/C runs all day. You pay the price. The CPSS Smart Thermostat helps you reduce energy waste by setting schedules and making adjustments from your phone. Save money while keeping the house cool for your family’s return.
5. Teach Home Safety Early
Back to school is also a great time to go over household safety rules:
- Don’t open the door for strangers.
- Always lock up when you leave.
- Know how to use the security system.
Involve your kids in these conversations, and show them how to use the CPSS app if they’re old enough.
