Back to School Home Security Tips for Parents

Protect Your Business During Peak Hours

Back-to-school means more foot traffic and potential security risks for local businesses. Professional-grade surveillance cameras and access control keep an eye on entrances and stockrooms through the busiest weeks of the year, and let you review what happened without being on site.

As the school year kicks off, it’s the perfect time to reassess your home’s security. Whether your kids are walking home, getting dropped off, or arriving before you return from work, peace of mind starts with smart protection.

At Reliant Security , we’re helping families in O’Fallon, MO and surrounding areas take control of their safety with our Back to School, Back to Safety promotion — including FREE installation and your choice of 2 FREE smart upgrades .

Let’s break down the top home security tips for the back-to-school season, and how our exclusive offer can help.

1. Install a Doorbell Camera

When your kids get home, do you know who walked in with them? A smart doorbell camera lets you:

  • Receive instant alerts when someone is at the door
  • Watch live video from your phone
  • Make sure it’s your kids — and only your kids — entering your home

Bonus: It’s one of the free upgrades you can choose in our current promotion!

2. Secure Entrances with a Smart Deadbolt

Kids tend to forget keys — but smart locks don’t need them. A smart deadbolt gives you:

  • Keyless entry with secure access codes
  • Full control over who can enter and when
  • Activity logs so you know exactly when the door was unlocked

Perfect for after-school access without compromising safety.

3. Manage Your Home Environment with a Smart Thermostat

With everyone at school or work during the day, energy use doesn’t have to stay high. A smart thermostat helps you:

  • Save on your energy bills
  • Control heating/cooling remotely
  • Keep your home comfortable when the kids return

4. Don’t Forget the Garage Door!

The garage is often a forgotten entry point — and one of the easiest to leave open. With a smart garage door controller , you can:

  • Check if the door is open from your phone
  • Close it remotely if it was left open
  • Get alerts any time it opens during the day
