Survey Morning

Survey docs in three clicks,
not three people.

When the surveyor walks in, every administrator runs the same fire drill: pull EVV logs from HHAeXchange, care records from PointClickCare, incident reports from a binder, camera timestamps from a separate system, eMAR from yet another login. TinyGuard logs all of it automatically — and yes, replacing the stack saves $2,200–$5,000/month too.

The Family Window

Families see
how mom is doing.

The call every family dreads making is "how is she, really?" Give them the answer before they ask — care updates, activity logs, and, if you enable it, live video of common areas, all in one branded portal written for the person who chose your facility.

  • Care Updates & Notifications

    Families receive push notifications for care events, with activity logs and updates in the portal — no phone tag.

  • Live Video of Common Areas

    If you enable it, authorized family members can view live feeds of shared spaces — permissioned per area, access controlled through role-based permissions.

  • Incident Reports, Documented

    When something happens, the record is timestamped and complete — the conversation with the family starts from facts, not memory.

  • Billing & Payments

    Invoices, autopay, and payment history in the same portal. Zero chasing, zero awkward calls.

HIPAA-aligned (BAA on request) Audio off by default AES-256 encryption No open ports. No exposed cameras.

EVV & Medicaid Compliance

EVV data export, survey-ready

The 21st Century Cures Act mandates Electronic Visit Verification for all Medicaid-funded services. TinyGuard captures the six required data points and exports them in Sandata- and HHAeXchange-compatible formats — your biller or clearinghouse handles claim submission. Optional $75/mo add-on, not bundled in the base plan.

Automated Clock-In & Verification

Staff visits captured with device-bound tokens and GPS confirmation — no manual entry, no forgery risk.

State-Ready Export Formats

Capture all 6 federally-required EVV data points with Sandata- and HHAeXchange-format exports. State-level certification rolling out by region — email del@ for your state's current status.

Real-Time Discrepancy Alerts

Instant notifications when a visit doesn't match the care plan — catch billing issues before they become audit findings.

Complete Audit Trail

Every verification logged with timestamps, device IDs, and location data — an immutable record for regulators.

Assumes your current stack matches the typical assisted living mix (EVV + Medicaid billing + care management + video + eMAR). Live video starts at $7/camera (7-day cloud storage); 30-day — the assisted-living standard — is $12/camera; 60-day $20 and 365-day $69 are self-serve per camera. Toggle off if your current stack has no camera/DVR vendor. Actual savings vary.

Plans built for regulated elder care:

Who's Behind This

Built by a software engineer whose wife runs a state-licensed care business out of their home.

We have zero paying customers today. That's the offer: founding partners get the founder, the roadmap, and a locked rate — and their facility shapes what this becomes. Everything about the company works the way this page does: in the open.

Straight Answers

Frequently asked questions

What hardware is included?
Three node tiers, all pre-configured: Pi 5 Setup Kit ($299 one-time, records up to 6 cameras / 8 live), Pro Hub Intel N100 ($450 one-time, 17–30 cameras with hardware AV1 encode), and Ryzen Mini ($1,499 one-time, 24+ cameras for Enterprise multi-location). You supply the cameras — we support any ONVIF-compatible IP camera, USB cameras, and most existing security systems. Build a full quote at tinyguard.co/store.
Is this HIPAA compliant?
TinyGuard is built to function as a HIPAA Business Associate, and executes a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) before go-live for any facility handling PHI. Video transits encrypted Cloudflare Tunnels (TLS 1.3) — no open ports on your network — and cloud recordings are AES-256-encrypted at rest in Cloudflare R2. Access is controlled through role-based permissions with device-bound authentication and per-facility tenant isolation enforced at the database. A signed BAA is available on request; see the BAA for our subprocessor list and current downstream-BAA status.
Which states' EVV requirements do you support?
Our system captures all six federally-required EVV data points automatically (type, individual, date, location, provider, time-in/out) and exports in Sandata- and HHAeXchange-compatible formats. State-level certification is being rolled out by region — we're prioritizing states by the demand we hear. Email del@tinyguard.co with your state and we'll confirm current certification status before you commit. If your state isn't certified yet, we can typically add it within 60–90 days for open-vendor states; closed-vendor states (e.g. California's Sandata mandate) take longer.
Can we use our existing cameras?
In most cases, yes. If your cameras support ONVIF, our appliance will auto-discover them on your network. We also support USB cameras and manual RTSP stream configuration. During onboarding, our team will verify compatibility at no cost.
What happens if the internet goes down?
The on-premise node continues recording locally to its on-board storage. Staff can access camera feeds and the system via tinyguard.local on your LAN. When internet is restored, the agent automatically syncs the buffered EVV records, care logs, and video segments to the cloud. Local storage is bounded by the device's disk; in a multi-day outage that exceeds available local capacity, the oldest local segments roll off. As with any system, hardware loss or physical destruction of the device before sync can result in data loss — operate your facility's customary backup and physical-security practices.
How does the family portal work?
Each facility gets a branded portal where authorized family members can view care updates, activity logs, and — if you enable it — live camera feeds of common areas. Families receive push notifications for care events, and all access is controlled through role-based permissions.
What about audio recording?
Cameras can record audio but audio capture is OFF by default. 14 US states require all-party consent for audio recording (CA, CT, DE, FL, IL, MA, MD, MI, MT, NV, NH, OR, PA, WA). Before enabling audio in any room, your facility is responsible for obtaining written informed consent from residents, staff, and any other individuals who may be recorded. TinyGuard's compliance dashboard requires 100% signature coverage per room and blocks audio activation until the gap is closed. See our audio-off covenant for the full architectural framing. Enabling audio without the required consents can carry federal and state wiretap-law penalties — review your state law and confirm consent before flipping the toggle.

The unglamorous part

We don't wait for you
to find the outage.

A dropped feed isn't a missed photo. It's a missed fall. So we test the "see them live" path every hour, around the clock — and catch a dark camera before a family does. Continuous synthetic monitoring of every path your facility leans on, watched by us.

every hour

Live video, around the clock

A synthetic check opens the live-video path every single hour — nights and weekends included — so a dark feed pages us, not your families.

every 5 min

Core systems

The login, the dashboard, and the API behind every screen are probed every five minutes. A bad change gets caught in minutes, not support tickets.

every 30 min

Sign-in & devices

Authentication and the on-site Pi's streaming link are exercised on a half-hour loop, plus a full nightly login-to-video run.

daily

Recordings & billing

Clip playback gets a visual smoke test through the day; payments are health-checked daily. The boring paths get watched too.

Built by people who assume the camera must be up — not hope it is.
