Smart Home Safety Devices That Give You Peace of Mind

Smart doorbells, cameras, fall detection, and medical alerts. Stay safe at home.

Smart devices can watch, listen, and alert when you need help

From video doorbells to medical alert systems, these tools can give you and your family peace of mind. Here’s an overview.

Video doorbells

Ring, Nest, and similar doorbells let you see and talk to visitors from your phone — without opening the door. Helpful for screening visitors and package deliveries.

Indoor cameras

Cameras inside the home can let family check in remotely. Use them only in shared spaces and with clear consent. Be aware of privacy and security settings.

Fall detection

Apple Watch and some medical alert devices can detect a fall and automatically call for help. Good for people who live alone or have fall risk.

Medical alert systems

Life Alert, Medical Guardian, and similar services offer a wearable button. Press it to reach a call center that can send help. Some work with fall detection and GPS for outside the home.

Quick tips

  • Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication on smart devices.
  • Review who has access to cameras and alerts.
  • Test medical alert buttons regularly.
