Secure daycare cameras that just keep working
Give parents secure live classroom access without adding another system for your staff to manage. Plug in one small CareCam appliance; we configure it remotely and keep it running. When parents ask, “Can I see my child during the day?”, your center can say yes.
See if your existing cameras work. Pick your brand, takes about 10 seconds, no signup.

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.
- Parents only see the rooms you assign them to
- Viewing can be limited to certain hours
- Access can be turned off for any parent at any time
- No public camera links
- Built for enrolled families only
- Runs on phones and modern browsers
CareCam is not a public webcam. Access is controlled by your center. Families see what you allow, when you allow it.
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.
What parents can and can't do
CareCam gives parents real visibility without giving up your center's control. Here's exactly what the parent experience looks like.
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

Why daycare centers choose CareCam
Parents check in on their own
Families feel more settled when they can check in without calling the front desk.
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.

Home daycares
One room, one camera. The home-daycare plan is $79/month and fits most home daycare setups.
Small daycare centers
Multiple classrooms, multiple families. Manage who sees which room without added complexity.
Preschools
Add parent-view cameras to your enrollment offer. No custom installation required.
Replacing an old system
Already have cameras? We can check compatibility before you commit to anything.

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.

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.
