Subject: Smart home setup for child safety (elopement) – need keypad locks on BOTH sides

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on building a smart home setup specifically for child safety/elopement prevention.

My child is non-verbal and has a history of trying to leave the house, so I need solutions that go beyond standard smart locks.

What I’m specifically looking for:

Door security:
- Keypad locks that work on BOTH sides of the door (inside and outside)
- Something that prevents easy exit but is still safe for emergencies
- Ideally with auto-lock and alerts

Monitoring:
- Door sensors or alerts when a door opens
- Cameras (front door + possibly inside common areas)
- Video doorbell

System goals:
- Everything in one app if possible
- Reliable notifications (no delays)
- Easy to manage for a busy household

If you have experience with:
- Double-sided keypad locks
- Child-safe smart home setups
- Preventing elopement in autistic children

I would really appreciate:
- Specific product recommendations
- What worked vs didn’t work
- Any safety considerations I might not be thinking of

Thank you so much — this is really important for our family.
