Software maintenance and updates happen remotely, on our side.
Real human support
Phone and email answered by the people who run the system.

No server to maintainNo software for staff to babysitNo camera ports exposed to the internet
Why daycare centers choose CareCam
Stand out during tours
Show prospective parents you take transparency seriously before they enroll. Most competing centers don't offer this yet.
Fewer interruption calls
Scheduled viewing windows reduce the "just checking in" calls during the day.
Set it up once. We keep it running.
You run your daycare. CareCam runs the cameras.
Day 1: plug in CareCam
Power and one network cable, on the same network as your cameras.
We configure it
We connect and tune your cameras remotely. Your hands-on time is minutes.
CareCam monitors it
Streams and software stay managed by us, including after a power outage or restart.
Parents just watch
Phone, tablet, or browser, only in the rooms and hours you allow.
The CareCam appliance is a small, silent, preconfigured device that connects your existing cameras to CareCam's service. It starts on its own, receives updates remotely, and never exposes a camera to the internet. You plug it in; we handle the rest.
Your center stays in control
CareCam is not a generic security camera app. It is built specifically for controlled parent viewing in childcare settings. Here's exactly what parents can and can't do.
Parents can
- Watch live video of their child's assigned classroom
- View from any phone or browser, no app install required
- Check in during hours your center allows
- See the timestamp so they know the feed is live
- Log in securely with their own account
Parents cannot
- See any classroom their child isn't enrolled in
- View outside of your center's set hours
- Download or record video through CareCam. There's no in-app download or recording feature
- Log in with a shared or public link. Every parent gets their own account
- Access the feed after you deactivate their account
CareCam is not a public webcam. Access is controlled by your center. Families see what you allow, when you allow it.
Why childcare owners love CareCam
Bright Nest Child Care
It gives parents that extra peace of mind and helps build trust.
I really love CareCam and how easy the system is to use! One of my favorite features is being able to give parents live camera access, especially since we also offer drop in care.
Anytime I have a question or need help with anything, the team is always quick to respond and assist. That makes such a difference, especially when running a daycare!
Sonshine Schoolhouse
CareCam has been excellent for our hybrid school.
If ever our cameras go offline for some reason, CareCam immediately reaches out to make sure everything is fine.
It has been so helpful and put our parents minds at ease to be able to see their students during school.
Simple pricing for daycare centers
Every plan includes secure parent logins, classroom-level access controls, viewing time limits, mobile parent viewing, and a center admin dashboard.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need new cameras?
Not always. Many centers already have IP cameras or NVR systems that are compatible. Send us your camera make and model and we'll tell you before you sign up for anything.
What kinds of cameras does CareCam work with?
Can parents see every classroom?
No. Access is set per parent account. Each parent only sees the rooms you assign them.
Can parents record the stream?
CareCam has no recording or download features for parents. The stream is live-only. If your center wants its own recordings, your existing NVR keeps recording separately on your equipment.
What size centers use CareCam?
CareCam works for single-room home daycares and large centers with 45+ cameras. Center plans start at $99/month (plus a $79 home-daycare plan) and go up to custom pricing for bigger operations.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Month to month, cancel anytime.

Go live
Most centers are streaming to parents within about a week, live the day the appliance arrives. No contractor required.
Encrypted, private, and simple to keep running
Encrypted in transit
Every connection uses HTTPS (TLS 1.2+). The video stream, parent logins, and account data all travel over encrypted connections, never in the clear.
Per-parent authentication
Each family signs into their own account, and every stream is authorized per session with a short-lived access token. Passwords are hashed, never stored in plain text.
Nothing archived to leak
Viewing is live-only and video-only (no audio). CareCam keeps no recorded footage for parents, so there is no stored archive to breach, lose, or subpoena.
99.9% uptime target
The service runs on managed cloud infrastructure with automatic HTTPS, backed by a 99.9% uptime target (three nines). For in-home setups we recommend a small UPS so the feed rides through short power blips.
Parent viewing since 2010
CareCam is operated by Quantus Innovations LLC in Wilmington, Delaware. Our technology has powered secure parent viewing in childcare centers since 2010, originally as EzCamLive.
We built CareCam so centers can offer parents a live view without a contractor, a multi-month project, or a five-year contract. We answer support ourselves, and when you send us your camera details before signing up, a real person checks them.
