What matters most in childcare

Security built around supervision, not surveillance.

Entry management

Controlled Entry

Access control at the main entry so only staff and authorised parents or guardians can get in, with a log of every entry.

Drop-off & pickup

Pickup Verification

Camera coverage at the drop-off and pickup zone, useful for confirming who collected a child if it's ever questioned.

Placement, done right

Appropriately Placed Cameras

Coverage of entries, corridors, and outdoor play areas — not indoor learning rooms, respecting children's and educators' privacy day to day.

How it works

From enquiry to an install that respects your program.

01

Free assessment

We walk the centre with your director, mapping entry points and drop-off flow around your actual daily routine, not a generic template.

02

Installation day

Most centres are completed in 1–2 days, scheduled outside operating hours or during a holiday period wherever possible.

03

Walkthrough & handover

We train your director and senior educators on access control and footage review — not just the person who signed the contract.

04

Digital Property File

Every device, warranty, and compliance-relevant document stored in your SecureCam file, ready for licensing inspections.

Yes, camera coverage of the pickup zone combined with an access log gives you a record to refer to if there's ever a question about who collected a child.

Yes, individual access codes or fobs can be limited to whoever's rostered, and access can be added or removed as staff change without rekeying anything.

Yes — most centre installs are scheduled outside opening hours, on a pupil-free day, or during a holiday period to avoid disrupting your program.

Reviews

What centre directors say about our installs.

★★★★★

Scheduled the whole install during term break so we didn't lose a single day of operation. Parents have noticed the new pickup camera too.

★★★★★

Appreciated that they asked about camera placement upfront rather than assuming. Got the balance right between security and privacy.
