Switching from KidsVision? Your current system keeps running

CareCam can often be tested alongside your existing camera system, so you don't have to disconnect your current provider while you evaluate it. Your cameras and recording setup stay as they are.

US centers can run a 14-day side-by-side trial. We ship a real CareCam appliance for a $199 refundable deposit. Switch if you like it, or return it within 14 days for a full refund. Your cameras need to be compatible, which we confirm before anything ships.

If you decide to move forward, the same appliance typically stays in place. One appliance supports all the cameras included in your plan, so an 8-camera center on the Center plan needs just one.

  1. 1Your existing provider stays running.
  2. 2We connect the CareCam appliance to your compatible cameras.
  3. 3Test one or two cameras and compare side by side.
  4. 4When you're satisfied, we add the remaining cameras.
  5. 5Move your parents over to CareCam.
  6. 6Cancel the old provider once CareCam is live.

KidsVision alternative: FAQ

What is a good alternative to KidsVision?
CareCam is a modern alternative: it runs on the HD IP cameras your center already has (most RTSP/ONVIF models), streams video-only for parent viewing, keeps access enrollment-gated so each parent only sees their own child's room, and publishes its pricing. Free for parents, no public links.
Can I keep my existing cameras with CareCam?
In most cases yes. CareCam works with standard RTSP/ONVIF IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Anpviz, UniFi, and Hanwha, so most centers add live viewing without buying new hardware. Send us your camera models and we'll confirm compatibility.
How is CareCam different from older daycare camera services?
CareCam is built around modern HD IP cameras and current security practices: video-only streaming, per-parent access, center-controlled viewing hours, and no public camera links. Pricing is published rather than quote-only.
Do I have to disconnect KidsVision to try CareCam?
No. CareCam can often be tested alongside your existing camera system, so your current provider keeps running while you evaluate. If you move forward, the same CareCam appliance typically stays in place and supports all the cameras in your plan. You cancel the old service only once CareCam is live.
Is CareCam affiliated with KidsVision?
No. CareCam is not affiliated with KidsVision, which is a trademark of its owner. This page is a comparison to help centers evaluate alternatives.
