Finding a daycare with live cameras in Pittsburgh

Whether your center is in Pittsburgh or nearby Cranberry Township, Mount Lebanon, or Sewickley, 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

Pennsylvania camera law applies in Pittsburgh

Pennsylvania does not mandate daycare cameras, but licensed centers using them should disclose to parents, and audio recording requires all-party consent under the state Wiretap Act (18 Pa.C.S. §5703).

Because Pennsylvania requires all-party consent to record audio, video-only systems like CareCam avoid the consent problem entirely.

Pennsylvania follows all-party (two-party) consent for audio. See our Pennsylvania daycare camera laws guide for the details.

Does a Pittsburgh daycare need to buy new cameras for CareCam?
Usually not. CareCam works with most existing IP cameras that support RTSP/ONVIF (Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Amcrest, UniFi, Hanwha and others), so most Pittsburgh-area centers can use the cameras they already have.

CareCam is live-only and video-only — there's no recording for parents and no microphone. Access is limited to each enrolled family's own classroom, during center-approved hours.
