February has come and gone, and that just means we’re getting that much closer to Spring! Yay! But before we jump too far ahead, I always love looking back over the adventures from the past month.

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

As a dog, I’ve always taken home security very seriously. Parked on my perch, I spend my day defending my fortress from anything out of the ordinary. It’s an exhausting job, but apparently I’m the only one willing to do it!

Until I was introduced to Kidde RemoteLync that is! The RemoteLync Monitor and the RemoteLync Camera pictured above are my new friends in making sure my home is safe and secure.

The RemoteLync Monitor is a smart home device that will listen for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in your home and send an alert to your smart phone if a problem arises. (even I can’t do that!)

The RemoteLync Camera is a battery operated, cordless camera that alerts you via smartphone when motion is detected in your home.

Together with the free Kidde RemoteLync App, there really isn’t much left for me to do except…

…be a dog again! (AKA park myself on the couch and watch cartoons!)

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

See with the touch of a button mom and dad can arm and disarm my house via their phones so that the RemoteLync can start listening for any smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors that go off, and watch for any intruders that might enter my home. You can even set it to arm & disarm automatically when you come and go from your home via GPS.

Mom loves that she can even arm it when I’m left home alone, and feels safer knowing should there ever be a fire she’d be notified right away so I’m not in danger. The camera can even be set to ignore pet movements, so she’s only told if something out of the ordinary happens at home. (I guess I won’t be having any secret parties anytime soon).

Checkout these videos from Kidde on how the RemoteLync System works:
