Prioritize Safety With These Home Security Tips for New Parents

Capture the Most Important Moments With Indoor Security Cameras

For the first weeks of your baby’s life, there’s nothing like spending quality time at home snuggling and admiring their funny faces. But eventually, you’ll need to leave the nest you’ve built and venture back into the world — whether it’s for a one-hour doctor’s appointment or an eight-hour day at the office.

With an indoor camera, you can capture your little one’s most special (and unexpected) moments, even if you’re not there. That means you can still be involved in all your baby’s firsts, from adorable belly laughs to their triumphant first steps. And with a Ring Protect subscription, sold separately, you can share those precious memories. For example, after the unexpected moment when your baby yelled “dada” for the first time, you can look back at the footage, save the clip, and send it to your friends and family.

Mount a Few Outdoor Security Cameras

The outside world may feel nonexistent when you’re hunkered down with a newborn, but you still need to keep an eye on what’s going on beyond your home. Outdoor security cameras are the perfect way to do so, especially if you need to keep an eye on your dog from the nursery while he lets out some pent-up energy in the backyard.

Many outdoor cameras are battery or solar-powered, which means you don’t have to worry about wires. You can easily mount a few cameras over entry points and in areas that might otherwise be difficult to see. You’ll get alerts if the camera detects motion, and you can check the footage from your security app.
