PB&J TV alternative
A PB&J TV alternative for daycare cameras
PB&J TV has become part of WatchMeGrow, so a lot of centers are being migrated. If you'd rather compare your options than accept the default, CareCam is an independent alternative: secure live parent viewing on the cameras you already own, video-only, free for parents, with pricing you can actually see.

PB&J TV alternative — FAQ
Is PB&J TV going away?
PB&J TV has become part of WatchMeGrow, and its site now points there — so many centers are being migrated to WatchMeGrow. If you're being moved and want to compare options rather than accept the default, CareCam is an independent alternative. Confirm your current status with the vendor.
How is CareCam different from PB&J TV / WatchMeGrow?
CareCam runs on the cameras you already own (most RTSP/ONVIF IP cameras), is video-only by design, keeps access enrollment-gated so each parent only sees their own child's room, and publishes its pricing ($49/mo and up, free for parents). No per-day login caps and no public links.
Can I keep my existing cameras if I switch?
In most cases yes. CareCam works with standard RTSP/ONVIF IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Amcrest, UniFi, and Hanwha, so centers can usually add live viewing without buying new hardware. Send us your camera models and we'll confirm.
