Looking for a simple, reliable way to keep an eye on your home from anywhere? CareHome start smart new life is the official companion app for CareHome smart surveillance cameras — designed to help you watch your home and check surveillance videos anytime, anywhere through your smartphone.
What Is the CareHome App?
CareHome is a free mobile app developed by Shenzhen Kanhujia Technology Co., Ltd. (深圳市看护家科技有限公司), a Shenzhen-based IoT company established in 2017 that specializes in home smart camera products and solutions. The app transforms your iPhone or iPad into a portable monitoring hub, giving you instant access to live video feeds from your connected cameras.
With an actively maintained update cycle — the latest version 5.8.2 was released in February 2026 — CareHome continues to add new features including a baby camera monitoring module, AI-powered detection, and video call capabilities. The app supports 8 languages and is available for free on the Apple App Store.
Key Features of the CareHome App
1. Real-Time Wi-Fi Camera Viewing
Connect your CareHome camera to Wi-Fi and instantly view live video on your smartphone. Whether you are at work, on vacation, or simply in another room, the real-time feed keeps you connected to what is happening at home.
2. Multi-Screen Multi-Camera Monitoring
Connect multiple cameras and view all feeds simultaneously on a single screen. Monitor different rooms, entry points, or even different properties from one unified interface — ideal for families who want complete coverage of their home.
3. Device Sharing for Multiple Users
Share camera access with family members so everyone can monitor the home independently. One device can be shared to multiple users, making it easy for parents, partners, or housemates to stay informed without needing separate accounts for each camera.
4. SD Card Playback
Review recorded footage stored on the camera's SD card directly through the app. The SD card playback feature has been optimized across multiple updates for smoother, more reliable video review — letting you check what happened while you were away.
5. Baby Camera Monitoring Module
CareHome includes a dedicated baby camera monitoring module (added in version 5.7.1), designed specifically for parents who want to keep a close watch on infants and toddlers. This purpose-built feature provides a tailored viewing experience for nursery monitoring.
6. AI-Powered Smart Detection
Starting from version 5.3.5, CareHome integrates AI detection capabilities that help distinguish meaningful events from routine movement. Receive smarter alerts that focus on what matters, reducing unnecessary notifications.
7. Video Call Support
CareHome supports video calls through the camera (added in version 5.3.7), enabling two-way visual communication. Talk to family members at home, check on elderly parents, or communicate with anyone near the camera — directly from the app.
