With the return to school, parents face new challenges to ensure the safety of their children, both at home and in their school environment. Peace of mind and safety are a priority, so it is important to know the best practices and tools to monitor children during this period. In this article, we will explore how to monitor children during this return to school using surveillance cameras and affordable home alarms, adapted to the needs of the Mexican public.
Keeping children home alone is an issue that concerns half of Mexico
Back to school brings with it tight schedules and changing routines, which can lead to times when children are home alone. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), more than 50% of households in Mexico have both parents working outside the home , highlighting the need for reliable surveillance systems.

In this context, having surveillance cameras at home is almost an obligation: this resource allows children to be monitored remotely and in real time.
Whether they're doing homework, playing, or waiting for an adult to arrive, cameras give parents peace of mind that their children are safe.
Surveillance Cameras: An Essential Tool
Installing surveillance cameras is an effective measure to keep children safe. These devices not only allow you to view what is happening in the home, but also offer features such as motion alerts, night vision, and continuous recording.
An important detail is how we view and operate these cameras. When you evaluate the different options for monitoring children when you are not at home, we recommend that you not only pay attention to the features of the cameras, but also ask and compare how they can be operated, where and how the information is stored, etc.
In the particular case of cuid, we designed a simple and intuitive app to easily view cameras , sensors and other security devices in real time, manage alerts and other functions designed to make life easier for our users.
Also, keep in mind that simply placing a security company's stickers on the facade of your house is a great deterrent for thieves.
Alarms for Affordable Homes: Additional Protection
At Cuid, security cameras have their own alarm system, and work in perfect harmony with essential sensors to prevent tragedies and keep your home monitored 24/7 , sensors for detecting smoke, CO leaks, and magnetic sensors for doors and motion sensors.
All of these sensors allow you to receive critical information in real time, keep rooms that you don't want children to visit safe, and receive support from the Monitoring Center and the relevant authorities, depending on the emergency configuration you choose.
The time to act is now
According to INEGI data, more than 200,000 home robberies were reported in Mexico in 2023. According to this same organization, more than 62% of Mexican adults feel unsafe , which underscores the importance of having an effective surveillance system.
If your family has children who have to stay home for several hours after school, investing in surveillance cameras and alarms is a strategic investment that you will never regret.
