Keep the cameras you already own
CareCam works with most compatible IP cameras, so switching is a software change, not a rip-and-replace. Your hardware stays yours.

Switch to CareCam: keep your cameras, we move your parents
Leaving WatchMeGrow or another parent-viewing provider? Switching is usually a software change on the cameras you already own, and we do the heavy lifting, including inviting every family.
Free appliance for switchersFirst month freeNo contract
For daycare centers, preschools, and home daycares moving from another camera-viewing service.
Switching is a software change, not a rip-and-replace
If your current platform got harder to use, started crashing on parents, or stopped fitting your budget, moving to CareCam is meant to be low-friction, because you keep your cameras and we handle the migration.
We migrate your parents for you
We load your family list, send the invites, and hand you a ready-to-forward announcement. No per-parent setup work lands on you.
No overlap, no double-pay
We time your go-live to the end of your current contract, so you're never paying two providers at once and parents never lose access.
What you get when you switch
Our current switch offer removes the upfront cost and the busywork of moving providers.
Free on-site appliance
The CareCam appliance ($349 value) is on us for centers switching from another parent-viewing provider.
First month free
Start on us while you wind down your old service. No reason to pay twice during the move.
Free one-classroom pilot
See CareCam live on your existing cameras, in your own building, before you commit to anything.
White-glove parent migration
We handle classrooms, viewing hours, and the parent invites. You approve, we do the work.
Keep your cameras
Reuse compatible IP cameras where supported instead of starting your hardware over.

Published month-to-month pricing ($49–$199), cancel anytime, and parents never pay to watch.
Current switch offer for centers moving from another parent-viewing provider. Details and pricing depend on your cameras and layout. Reach out and we'll confirm what applies to your setup. Offers can change.
How the switch works
- 1
Tell us your setup
Your camera brand, number of rooms, your current provider, and when your contract ends. One email. No call required.
- 2
Free one-room pilot
We connect one classroom on your existing cameras so you can see CareCam working before you change anything.
- 3
We provision and migrate your parents
Classrooms, viewing schedules, and parent invites, with a ready-to-send announcement, all handled by us.
- 4
Go live, then cancel
We time your cutover to your current contract's end, so parents move over with no gap and you never double-pay.
Switching from WatchMeGrow?
Centers often move because parents find the login complicated, or because access wasn't tightly scoped to a family's own room. CareCam gives each parent their own login to only their child's classroom, and only during the hours you set, and parents watch in any web browser with no app to install. Staff and administrators get a fuller internal view of the center, including audio, streamed from the camera's full-resolution main feed.
Start your switch
Tell us your current provider and camera brand, and when your contract ends. We'll map the lightest path to move, usually by email within one business day.

Switching questions
Do I need to buy new cameras to switch to CareCam?
Usually not. CareCam works with most existing IP cameras that support RTSP/ONVIF-style streams, so switching is typically a software change rather than a rip-and-replace. Share your camera brand and model and we'll confirm compatibility before you commit.
What happens with my current provider's contract?
We plan your cutover around your existing agreement so you're never paying two providers at once. Tell us when your current term ends and we time the go-live to match; if you're already month-to-month, we can move as soon as your pilot checks out.
Will my parents have to do anything complicated?
No. We load your family list and send the invites, along with a ready-to-forward announcement you can share in one message. Parents create a free account and watch in any web browser or the app, no per-parent setup work for you.
Can I try CareCam before I switch?
Yes. We set up a free one-classroom pilot on your existing cameras so you can see it working in your own building before you change anything. If it isn't a fit, you walk away, nothing to uninstall.
Is there downtime during the switch?
No. Your current system keeps running while we provision CareCam and run the pilot. You only cancel the old service once CareCam is live and verified, so parents never lose access in between.
What does switching cost?
CareCam software is published pricing ($49–$199/month depending on camera count, custom above 24) and always free for parents. For centers switching from another parent-viewing provider we currently include the on-site appliance ($349 value) and the first month at no charge. Ask us to confirm the current offer for your setup.
Ready to switch without the headache?
Send us your setup and we'll handle the move: cameras kept, parents invited, timed to your current contract.
