Finding a daycare with live cameras in Seattle

Whether your center is in Seattle or nearby Bellevue, Redmond, or Kirkland, 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

Washington camera law applies in Seattle

Washington does not mandate daycare cameras, but licensed centers using them should disclose to parents. Washington is a strict all-party consent state — any audio needs everyone's consent.

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

Run a daycare in Seattle? Offer parents live viewing

CareCam turns the IP cameras a Seattle-area center already has into a secure, video-only live stream for enrolled parents — no proprietary hardware and no professional install in most cases. Parents see only their child's classroom, only during the hours you set. We've run daycare camera streaming since 2010, for centers from Seattle to Issaquah.

Daycare cameras in Seattle — FAQ

Is it legal for daycares in Seattle to have cameras?
Yes. Cameras in daycare classrooms are legal in Washington, as in every US state — the limits are on audio recording, placement (never in bathrooms or changing areas), and disclosure to families. Washington follows all-party (two-party) consent for audio. See our Washington daycare camera laws guide for the details.
Which areas around Seattle does this cover?
Seattle and nearby communities including Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish, Issaquah. CareCam is software that works over the internet, so any licensed center in the Seattle area with compatible IP cameras can use it.
Does a Seattle 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 Seattle-area centers can use the cameras they already have.
Can parents record or screen-grab the Seattle classroom stream?
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.
