What doing more things online means for your family’s security

From gaming to shopping, there are dangers lurking

Unfortunately, greed is not only a scourge for the individual, but also everything he touches. So you find him engaged in offering gaming that’s downright harmful for the young.

Here, the role of parents is to put controls over their children’s gaming, and to constantly monitor any negative and positive impact. And to classify whether the game is appropriate for their age.

You often find these games containing scenes of bloodsplattered bodies, maiming, and other inappropriate content. Some games may include communication in writing, audio or video. There are no age controls among participants, and one cannot know their intentions.

Let them play, with limits

Parents have to follow the content and analyse aspects of the games. There are a lot of beneficial games, and children need not be prevented from playing. So let them play, but with controls on the quality of games, the length of time, and the banning of conversations except with those you know well. Gaming platforms such as PlayStation and Nintendo Switch are still the best choices, and also the most balanced in content.

Eye on the property

Meanwhile, everyone knows how important home surveillance cameras are. Areas may vary, but key places include the gates, views of entrances to the house from inside — so that the camera depicts everyone who opens the door go get in — the kitchen, playroom, main cupboards and stairs leading to the roof to get an alert as soon as children try to climb up there, and the garage.

Cameras must also be installed at the top of the building to monitor the yard, all external squares, and outbuildings. The outdoor camera needs to be large to deter intruders and mark the place as monitored.

Buying wiser online

The experience of buying online is the same as buying from shops. You find that a single commodity has several prices and you do not know which one is the best.

I always recommend buying electronics from well-known stores after comparing prices, guarantees, etc. Among the most important things you need to review are comments written by real buyers, and you also need to read the negative and positive reviews because some of them degrade other brands on purpose. The most appropriate way for you is to see the frequency of evaluation. You see that a lot in other countries, which I hope that will grow as part of the consumer culture here because it’s important.

Weak-spirited people take advantage of the need of others to access the internet, and they simply activate a mechanism that creates a fake wi-fi network that provides for a network sharing as in phones, but with a different purpose, which is spying on everything you do on the web, saving the sites you visit and even get to know passwords in one way or another.

So, it is not recommended to use open networks.
