Easter is a time for celebration, family gatherings, and, if you have a little one, nonstop baby-proofing. With colorful eggs, tiny hard candies, and curious hands reaching for anything within sight, ensuring your home is safe should be your top priority. Smart home security cameras like the Toucan SEEK Indoor Pan & Tilt Security Camera and Toucan Wireless Security Camera S4 can help keep an eye on your tiny adventurer while adding an extra layer of protection. 

So, without further ado, let’s explore the best ways to childproof your home this Easter and beyond using Toucan Solutions’ devices and more:

#1 Secure Every Entryway

Toddlers are little escape artists. The moment they learn to crawl or walk, every door, window, and stairway becomes an opportunity for adventure. Use baby gates at staircases and ensure all doors are properly locked. The Toucan SEEK camera, with its app-controlled pan 355° and tilt 180°, lets you monitor high-risk areas like the front door, backyard, or any space where your little one might wander.

#2 Monitor Play Areas with Smart Cameras

Easter egg hunts are fun, but they can quickly turn chaotic. Babies love to explore, which means they can end up in places they shouldn’t be. Installing an S4 Wireless Security Camera in play areas ensures you can always check in through your phone. You can speak using the two-way talk to reassure your baby when you're not in the same room. 

#3 Keep an Eye on Choking Hazards

Easter decorations, candy wrappers, and tiny toys are all potential choking hazards. Place breakable or small objects out of reach, and use motion sensors on cabinets storing dangerous items. If your child is particularly curious, the SEEK camera's motion alerts can notify you when they’re near areas they shouldn’t be.

#4 Protect Electrical Outlets and Cords

Brightly colored extension cords, blinking lights, and decorative plug-ins are all tempting for little hands. Use outlet covers and cord organizers to keep wires out of reach. If you have smart plugs connected to Easter lights, you can schedule them to turn off automatically when the baby is in the room.

#5 Secure Kitchen and Dining Areas

Hot stovetops, sharp utensils, and Easter baskets full of treats can be risky for little ones. Baby locks on cabinets and fridge doors can prevent access to harmful items. Consider positioning an S4 security camera in the kitchen so you can quickly check in if you’re busy preparing Easter brunch.

#6 Keep Track of Pets and Their Food

If you have pets, you know that babies love to crawl toward their food bowls. Pet food and small treats can be a choking hazard. Set up a SEEK camera near pet feeding areas to monitor interactions and keep both your baby and furry friend safe.

#7 Use Smart Doorbells to Track Visitors

Easter means visitors, and keeping track of who’s coming and going is essential. A wireless video doorbell camera helps you monitor guests, deliveries, and even those unexpected knocks on the door. With real-time notifications and two-way audio, you can answer the door without stepping away from your baby.

#8 Lock Away Cleaning Supplies

Spring cleaning often goes hand-in-hand with Easter prep, which means more cleaning products within reach. Store all cleaning supplies in locked cabinets and use motion sensors on closet doors to alert you if they’re opened. Smart home security cameras can also help monitor storage areas to keep your baby safe.

#9 Adjust Your Baby Monitor Setup

Traditional baby monitors are great, but smart security cameras offer extra features like motion detection, night vision, and two-way talk. Placing an S4 camera in the nursery allows you to check in anytime, even when you're in another part of the house entertaining guests.

#10 Set Up Emergency Alerts

Emergencies happen, but being prepared makes all the difference. Set up emergency contact numbers in your security app and enable instant alerts for movement in restricted areas. The Toucan SEEK camera allows you to receive real-time notifications if something unusual happens, ensuring you can react immediately.
