Frequently Asked Questions

I feel guilty about wanting cameras.

That guilt is understandable - constant surveillance changes the parent-child dynamic. Daily check-ins let you know they're safe without watching their private moments.

What if they fall in the bathroom?

Nobody wants cameras in bathrooms. Our app alerts you if they miss their daily check-in regardless of where they are. No cameras needed in private spaces.

My parent discovered the cameras and is upset.

This happens often and damages trust. Switch to our transparent check-in approach - your parent participates willingly, preserving your relationship.

Cameras record evidence if something happens.

Valid point for insurance or medical purposes. But for daily wellness monitoring, a simple check-in is less invasive and confirms safety just as effectively.
