Finding a daycare with live cameras in Austin

Whether your center is in Austin or nearby Round Rock, Cedar Park, or Pflugerville, here's what to look for in a daycare that offers live parent viewing:

  • ✓Live parent viewing (not just photos or recorded clips at the end of the day)
  • ✓Video-only streaming — no microphone — to keep audio-consent rules simple
  • ✓Per-child access, so you see only your child's classroom
  • ✓Center-controlled viewing hours, not an always-on public feed
  • ✓Secure logins — never a shareable public camera link

Texas camera law applies in Austin

Texas licensed daycare centers must allow cameras in classrooms on request under SB 1838. Disclosure to parents is expected, and audio is governed by Texas's one-party consent rule.

Even though Texas is a one-party consent state, video-only streaming keeps compliance simple — CareCam captures no audio at all.
