  • No long-term contract
  • Works with existing cameras

All features

For parents

What families experience

Parent mobile app

Parents watch from their phone on iOS or Android, or from any web browser. No special hardware, no browser plugins—just a secure login tied to their child's enrollment.

Live-view streaming

Real-time classroom video during approved hours only. A live timestamp confirms the feed is current—not a recording.

For directors

What your center controls

Secure parent-only access

Every parent gets their own login. No public links, no shared URLs—access is tied to enrollment.

Classroom-level permissions

Parents see only the rooms their child is enrolled in—not other classrooms or spaces in your center.

Viewing schedule controls

Set the hours parents can view. Morning drop-off, afternoon pick-up, or anything in between—your schedule, your rules.

Disable access anytime

Field trip? Fire drill? Family unenrolled? Turn off parent viewing immediately from your dashboard—no waiting, no helpdesk tickets, no delays.

Setup & scaling

Built to grow with your center

Works with existing IP cameras

CareCam is designed to work with compatible RTSP/ONVIF IP cameras—Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Amcrest, Axis, and more. You may not need to replace anything.

Plans that scale with you

Start with 8 cameras on the Center plan at $99/month. Scale up to 24 cameras on Max, or contact us for custom pricing above that—no plan lock-in.

Two sides, one system

CareCam is designed for both the people running the center and the families relying on it.

Privacy by design, not as an afterthought

Parent-view streaming shouldn't mean anyone-can-view streaming. Every layer of CareCam is built so your center stays in control.

CareCam is not a public webcam. Access is controlled entirely by your center—families see what you allow, when you allow it.
  • Parent-specific logins
  • Classroom-level permissions
  • Viewing time restrictions
  • No public camera links
  • Disable access anytime
  • Enrollment-tied accounts only

Feature questions

Can parents record or download the video stream?
CareCam is focused on live parent viewing. Recording features are not included in the base plans—contact us if recording is a requirement for your center.
Does CareCam work with our current cameras?
CareCam works with compatible IP cameras that support RTSP, ONVIF, H.264, and configurable substreams. Share your camera models during setup and we will confirm compatibility.
Can we turn on and off parent access quickly?
Yes. Your center can disable or limit access at any time from the admin dashboard—no support ticket required.
Is the parent app free for families?
The parent app is included in your center's plan. Parents download it on iOS or Android and log in with their approved account.
What if we need more than 24 cameras?
Contact CareCam for custom pricing. Plans above 24 cameras are available for larger single-location centers and multi-location groups.
