Problem
Childcare facilities and schools often rely on human supervision and traditional security cameras, which can miss brief periods when children are left unattended on playgrounds or in classrooms, leading to accidents, legal liability, and regulatory penalties.
Solution
LiveSitter provides an AI-driven video analysis system that monitors playground and classroom activity in real time and generates instant safety alerts when a child is unsupervised or a coverage gap is detected. The technology processes video locally on the device, discarding footage immediately, so no recordings are stored or streamed, addressing privacy concerns. Alerts are triggered based on configurable safety rules and are calibrated to each facility’s layout during a pilot phase to minimize false positives. By notifying staff at the moment a risk occurs, LiveSitter acts as a proactive safety layer, similar to a smoke detector, helping prevent incidents before they happen. The system complements existing supervision practices without replacing staff, offering a continuous backup safety net.
Target Audience
Primary customers are preschools, daycare centers, and K‑12 schools that need to enhance playground and classroom supervision while complying with privacy regulations.
