ABSTRACT:
A child/dependent care system provides a way for parents (or other responsible individuals) to remotely observe and communicate with their children (or dependents or other charges) at a care center. The system includes a video link between the care center, or "activity area," and one or more remote areas disposed remotely from the care center. Each video link includes a video camera and monitor, permitting the parent to see his or her charge at the care center, and vice versa. The system can also include a telephone link between the sites, permitting voice communication between the parent and the charge. Still further, the system can provide a paging link, whereby an adult supervisor at the center can page the parent and alert him or her to contact the center e.g., via phone. A lock-out can also be provided to insure that only authorized parents can view charges at the care center.
