Kangarootime + live cameras

Does Kangarootime have live cameras?

Short answer: not on its own. Kangarootime is childcare management software: billing, attendance, and family communication. Live camera viewing comes through a third-party integration, not a built-in feature. If you want parents to watch live, you can pair Kangarootime with a dedicated camera platform like CareCam.

Kangarootime vs CareCam: different tools that work together

These aren't really competitors. Kangarootime runs the admin side; CareCam adds the live camera side, natively, on the cameras you already own.

Kangarootime & live cameras: FAQ

Does Kangarootime have live streaming cameras?
Not natively. Kangarootime is childcare management software: billing, attendance, and family communication. Live camera viewing comes through a third-party integration (PB&J TV, now part of WatchMeGrow) rather than a built-in Kangarootime feature. Centers that want live viewing pair Kangarootime with a dedicated camera platform.
Can I use Kangarootime and CareCam together?
Yes. They serve different purposes and work well side by side: Kangarootime handles admin and family messaging, while CareCam adds secure, real-time live camera viewing on the cameras your center already has.
Is CareCam a Kangarootime replacement?
No, they're different categories. CareCam doesn't replace Kangarootime's management features, and Kangarootime doesn't provide native live cameras. Centers that want both run them together.
What cameras does CareCam need?
CareCam works with most existing IP cameras that support RTSP/ONVIF (Hikvision, Anpviz, UniFi, Hanwha), so most centers can add live viewing without buying new hardware.
Is CareCam affiliated with Kangarootime?
No. CareCam is not affiliated with Kangarootime, which is a trademark of its owner. This page explains how live camera viewing complements childcare management software.
