How celebrity moms use tech for home security

[Editor’s Note: The following is a press release from PLDT Home Fibr]

MANILA, Philippines – How can moms feel assured that their families are safe, even when they have to be away from the home?

The answer is technology – it has opened up opportunities for families to connect better and for parents to manage the home more efficiently.

However, when left unchecked, digital platforms can also become an unsafe space, especially for children.

Young and digitally-savvy moms like Denise Laurel and Isabel Oli-Pratts are among the celebrity moms who are strong advocates of home security in this digital age.

The two recently hosted an intimate mommy bloggers’ event powered by PLDT Home. Together with psychologist and expert Michele Alignay, they tackled pressing digital and security concerns at home. They were joined by other celebrity moms like Camille Pratts and Issa Litton.

During the event, they learned more about PLDT Home’s products designed to provide moms with invaluable peace of mind. The home monitoring system Fam Cam can be used to check and even talk to kids remotely, and the multi-functional kiddie watch Smart Watch allows parents to track their kids’ location and get instant notifications when they go beyond a set ‘safe zone.’

Asia’s Songbird and PLDT Home ambassador Regine Velasquez and son Nate, as well as Eat Bulaga’s Bae-by Baste and Mommy Sheila, are among those enjoying the family-friendly benefits of this kiddie gadget.

The latest addition to PLDT Home’s product lineup is the Fam Zone, a product that enables parents to create a safer internet experience for their children. It is the country’s first online parental control device which allows parents to manage their kids’ Internet use.

They can turn on the Internet filtering feature which screens out sensitive sites using keywords. Parents can also set alerts and reports to monitor their kids’ online activities as well as pre-approve sites that kids will visit.

These Smart Home devices can be best experienced with the country’s most powerful broadband, PLDT Home Fibr, which delivers speeds of up to 1Gbps and with plans now as low as P1,699 per month. Fibr has the widest coverage in the country and is available in 2.5 million homes.

PLDT VP and Home Marketing Director Gary Dujali said, “Working with real moms is always a great learning experience for us. It helps us understand them better and make sure that our products truly address their unique and dynamic needs. Working with celebrity moms like Regine, Denise, Isabel, and Camille also gives us an opportunity to bring our message to a wider audience so it can benefit more moms.” – Rappler.com
