Keeping your kids safe and sound is your number one priority as a mother. However, when you work from home, your attention is divided between your work and monitoring your little ones. Make sure you equip yourself with the tools that can help you stay in the zone while you’re working and help you keep a close eye on your children. Integrate gadgets and methods like video monitors, home intercoms, wearable cameras and other monitoring apps into your family’s lifestyle. Here is an overview of how you can supervise your child from a distance:

Video Monitors

If you have little ones that are Pre-K and home for the day, invest in video monitoring equipment that will help you keep an eye on them while they’re napping or playing in their room. It’s a useful monitoring method that will ensure your child’s safety as well as give you space for your work.

The Infant Optics Baby Monitor is another video monitor system that lets you adjust the zoom and viewing angle of its wide-angle lens, can run off of 6-10 hours of battery life, has a LED display and contains wireless portability capabilities.

Intercom Systems

If you have children that are a bit older and video monitoring doesn’t seem necessary, install a home intercom system that lets you verbally check in. A home intercom system is also a good option if your child roams from room to room and you can’t install cameras into each room. You can install wall-mounted intercoms in the most action-packed rooms of your home, where your child will likely spend their time. The NuTone systems are easy to use, with minimal buttons, making them kid-friendly. There are also many wireless intercoms available that don’t require wall installation. A verbal check in will give you peace of mind when you’re working in your home office.

Wearable Cameras

If you have a child older than eight who needs some outdoor time, you can equip them with a wearable camera that provides a live stream of their whereabouts and activities. For example, if you feel your child is old enough to go for a safe bicycle ride in your neighborhood, but you want to keep an eye on them for added assurance, have them wear a GoPro camera from which you can live stream via the Periscope system. GoPros are durable, easy to wear and suited for the outdoors. The live stream can be recorded and your child will love to watch and relive their outdoor adventure. It’s a fun activity for them and also will help you supervise while engaged with your work.

Monitoring Apps

There are a number of child-monitoring apps that you can access through your smartphone. These apps are ideal alternative baby monitors that will help you listen in or visually check on your little one.
