Home monitoring systems help seniors stay independent while keeping their caregivers informed.
Look for easy-to-use devices with remote viewing, 2-Way Audio, and smart alerts. Arlo’s security cameras, video doorbells, and alarm systems offer tailored features for senior care.
Combining video, alarms, and medical alerts provides the most comprehensive protection.
As our loved ones age, their safety and well-being become top priorities. We want to give them the attention and care they deserve while preserving their independence. While being there in person isn’t always possible, smart home automation and home monitoring systems allow caregivers to assist and monitor the elderly remotely.
A home monitoring system for elderly care can help you keep watch over your loved ones, respond quickly in emergencies, and provide them with peace of mind. Arlo offers a wide range of senior monitoring systems, from caregiver cameras to senior alarm systems, to make at-home care easier and more secure.
Investing in a home security system for senior monitoring offers more than just protection from intruders. It creates a safer environment while allowing caregivers to check in anytime. Visible security equipment such as cameras have been proven to deter potential criminals, and instant alerts can make it possible to act quickly when something happens.
Senior monitoring devices such as motion sensors, indoor cameras, and video doorbells help prevent and address emergencies. Whether it’s detecting a fall, identifying a break-in, or spotting a hazard like a water leak, a home monitoring system for elderly care provides peace of mind and the tools they need to act quickly.
When choosing the right home senior monitoring system, keep in mind that seniors have distinctive needs. They require special care and attention, while having a system that is simple and easy to use. For this reason, we recommend exploring options with mobile-friendly monitoring, 2-way audio capabilities, and 24/7 protection. Keep an eye out for these key features:
Ease of use: When selecting a senior monitoring system, ease of use is one of the most important factors. Many seniors prefer simple, intuitive controls. The Arlo Home Security System provides both app-based and physical button controls, which makes it more accessible for older adults who aren’t as tech-savvy.
Real-time remote monitoring: For video monitoring, a camera for seniors should allow real-time viewing rather than only storing footage locally. Instead of a local storage security camera, choose a system with remote live feed, so you can keep an eye on your elderly parent or grandparent from wherever you are. Options like the Arlo 2nd Gen Essential Camera are a great feature-packed, budget-friendly option. You can choose between HD or 2K models, and it comes with 2-Way Audio and Color Night Vision.
Shared user functionality: The Arlo Home Security System and Arlo’s other security cameras let you grant access to additional users, allowing family members to monitor the senior’s home security system as well.
Smart Notifications: If an alarm is triggered, a security system with smart notifications will alert caregivers by sending a notification to their smartphones to guarantee a prompt response to potential dangers. Learn more about Arlo Secure features.
Emergency Response Request: The Arlo Home Security System comes with emergency buttons for easy access to support, and with an Arlo Secure subscription, pressing these buttons will quickly send police, fire, or medical responders to the senior’s home without requiring a phone call.
An indoor caregiver camera can be one of the most valuable tools when it comes to senior safety. The cameras can be used to keep an eye on them, invest in a medical alert system to safeguard their well-being, monitor various home threats with an alarm system, and provide front-door security with a video doorbell.
You want to make sure you’re buying the best camera for your loved ones. A senior-friendly camera system, such as the Arlo 2nd Gen Indoor Camera comes equipped with features like 2-Way Audio, Night Vision, and a wide 130° Field of View. This model also comes equipped with an Automated Privacy Shield, ensuring that their personal moments remain completely private. With the Arlo Secure monthly subscription, you can enhance your security camera setup with Smart Object Detection and Cloud Storage for your security videos.
The Arlo Home Security System lets you monitor and detect up to eight different threats, including water leaks, temperature changes, unauthorized entry, and more. They can even listen for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
In the case of an emergency an alarm will be triggered to alert everyone inside the house, and a notification will be sent to any family member with access to the Arlo app. This ensures that everyone is aware that there may be a potential danger, enabling them to react promptly.
A medical alert system serves as a safety net for your elderly family member. With a simple button press, they can swiftly request assistance during emergencies, eliminating the need for a phone call. Look into solutions such as Arlo Safe, equipped with the Safe Accessory Button for round-the-clock protection, family monitoring, check-ins, and additional features.
24/7 Professional Monitoring ensures quick action, even when you can’t respond right away. If an alarm is triggered, trained safety agents at a monitoring center will respond to the alert and take appropriate action, including calling the authorities for your elderly family if necessary.
The Arlo Secure Professional Monitoring service has a monthly fee of just $24.99. Or you could consider the Arlo Total Security service, which starts at $9.99 and includes all necessary hardware and service for 24/7 Professional Monitoring.
Opening the door to strangers can be dangerous, especially if you’re older. Installing a video doorbell like the Arlo Video Doorbell is a great investment. This option comes with HD or 2K video resolution options and features an ultra-wide 180° Field of View. Plus, with 2-Way Audio you or your senior family member can respond to unexpected visits from a smartphone, without having to open the door.
Whether you’re figuring out how to monitor an elderly parent at home, or simply want extra safety, a home monitoring system for elderly care helps seniors live independently while also staying protected. With Arlo cameras, senior alarm systems, caregiver cameras, and professional monitoring services, you can ensure your loved ones receive the care and attention they deserve.
