From home security gadgets to pet safety tools, investing in an extra layer of protection for your home is crucial. Smart devices keep your family safe, providing better visualization, automation, and all-in-one capabilities that put you in charge of your domain. Make sure you give Dad the technology he needs this Father’s Day! Here are five home security gadgets for Dad (and man’s best friend):
Smart Locks
Smart locks keep your home secure through a keypad, wireless remote, or mobile app. Eliminate the danger of lost keys or forgetting to lock the door, as these fully-connected locks will alert you as needed.
In a survey by CNET and Coldwell Banker, researchers found that 57 percent of Americans with smart home items save nearly 30 minutes per day.

Doorbell Camera
Whether Dad is in the backyard or at work, he’ll be able to see who is ringing the doorbell in real time. Doorbell cameras use Wi-Fi to show a live feed on a mobile app, including two-way voice, locking control, and motion detection. Doorbell cameras also integrate with other home security devices like smart lights and alarms, giving you all-in-one oversight from anywhere.
Smart Thermostat
Like other “smart” gadgets, smart thermostats offer full control through the device and through a mobile app. Smart thermostats allow the user to control the temperature, set timers, and create automatic presets that accommodate your daily routine. Give Dad total climate control that saves energy and keeps him happy.

The Glance Clock
The Glance clock connects to third-party apps and home security devices to display calendar events, reminders, forecasts, and alerts. With this smart addition to the home, Dad will be notified right away if something is out of the ordinary.

Microchips and GPS Pet Trackers
For National Pet Preparedness Month, take precautions and review your pet’s safety before the unexpected strikes. Having a new pet microchipped is standard—but microchips do not provide GPS tracking. However, gadgets like the Whistle 3 Pet GPS Tracker offers location information, notifications, and even health monitoring.
The detection of a microchip by an animal shelter yielded a 74.1% rate of return to owners (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association).
