The childcare platform that comes with the cameras.

TinyGuard ships the Raspberry Pi, connects your existing IP cameras, and gives parents live access without adding a DVR vendor. The same dashboard handles billing, care logs, staff activity, and a 90-day compliance archive for when a licensor calls. One box, one login, one bill.

Built for childcare and elder care — works with any RTSP/ONVIF camera

Built because my wife runs a center.

"My wife runs a childcare center. For years I watched her juggle Brightwheel for attendance, QuickBooks for billing, a DVR under the front desk for cameras, and a state EVV portal that still uses Internet Explorer. Four systems, four logins, four bills. So I built the thing she actually wanted — one box that does all of it."

From box to live in minutes.

No IT department needed. Our plug-and-play hardware connects to the TinyGuard cloud automatically.

Plug in your Pi

We ship a pre-configured Raspberry Pi to your facility. Connect it to power and ethernet — that's it. The device auto-provisions via a secure Cloudflare Tunnel — no port forwarding, no static IP, no firewall rules.

Connect your cameras

Plug in USB or IP cameras. TinyGuard automatically discovers ONVIF devices on your network and begins transcoding streams to HLS and WebRTC via MediaMTX.

Manage everything

Your branded dashboard is live. Monitor cameras, track staff, manage compliance, communicate with families — all from any browser, anywhere.

Built for reliability,
engineered for scale.

Enterprise-grade video infrastructure that runs on a Raspberry Pi. Here's what powers the TinyGuard backbone.

MediaMTX Transcoding

RTSP, HLS, and WebRTC streams served simultaneously. Low-latency video from facility to cloud to family — in under two seconds.

Cloudflare Tunnel

Every facility Pi connects to the cloud via an encrypted Cloudflare Tunnel. Zero open ports, zero static IPs, zero firewall rules — automatic, zero-config networking.

Multi-Tenant Architecture

Each facility gets its own subdomain, isolated data, and white-label branding. Franchise operators manage all locations from a single super admin panel.

ONVIF Auto-Discovery

Plug in any ONVIF-compatible IP camera and TinyGuard finds it automatically. USB cameras are supported too — just connect and stream.

Device-Bound Security

Pi authentication uses filesystem-stored tokens exchanged for short-lived JWTs. No browser-persisted secrets. Revoke any device instantly from the cloud.
