Livindi Studio kit with no surveillance cameras: LivindiPad tablet, door sensors, multi-sensor and wearable call button

What you can know without a camera

A camera shows you a room, and someone has to watch it. Sensors learn what's normal for your parent and tell you when it changes.

"I can monitor every minute of her 'activity' and know what and how she is doing without invading her privacy."

Bev, niece and caregiver

What about the camera on the tablet?

No surveillance cameras. The only camera is the tablet's, for two-way video calls. A video call is a conversation: your parent can see you too, and only people you invite can call them on the tablet.

Video calls have an auto-answer option. It means your parent never has to find a button to pick up, and you can see how they are even if they can't get to the tablet. One customer told us it let the family see that their dad was in trouble, and they called 911 on the spot. You and your parent decide if it's right for them.

Sensors or cameras: an honest comparison

What sensors do well

They work all day with nothing for your parent to do, they don't show anyone's private moments, and they tell you about a change without you having to watch for it.

What sensors can't do

They can't show you what happened. That's what the video call is for: get the alert, tap once, and see for yourself.

What cameras do well

They show you a room whenever you look, and many let you talk through them. If you want to see a specific room, a camera does that.

What cameras can't do

Someone has to watch, and they only see what's in the frame. Your parent may also feel watched. That's often the conversation families are trying to avoid.

Sensors go on doors and walls and arrive preconfigured, so setup takes minutes.

So glad we got this for my Dad

Thank you. I have to tell you my dad called me 3 times with livindi after u set him up and I haven’t seen him smile so much as tonight since mom died 3 months ago. He kept saying this is amazing! When we were ending the call , I said ok I will talk to you tomorrow and he said oh no, I will see you tomorrow! I’m so glad we got this for him - we r hoping it alleviates his loneliness a little - my dad and mom were together 65 years! So nice to see a smile - thank you again!

Livindi will make it easier to stay in my own home

I would have been so relieved to have Livindi when I cared for my elderly mother. Now I am grateful that I can include Livindi in my plans for my future and stay in my own home. I will be able to get help for my needs and special assistance without disrupting my children’s lives.

Happy to know my parents are ok

This product is solid and impressive. I bought the large version for myself, mom, sister, and father in law that is 3000 miles away. It takes the worry away and my 92 year old Mom had no trouble using it. It was too difficult for her to use the phone. She has hearing problems and the transcription helps her better understand me when we talk on the video. Her vision isn’t great and is really bad with gadgets, but she loves using the tablet to talk with the family and get pictures. The larger screen was important and I used Wi-Fi and it was not difficult to connect.

Video and sound quality are great. Sending my mom photos is easy because she gets to see fresh photos of the family. It’s perfect for everyone to stay in touch and better than face time. It was really helpful because with COVID no one can travel to see my mother anymore.
Excellent motion and door sensors. We just stuck them to the walls, doors and refrigerator. I look in on Mom every day and check in on her when I see thing that are unusual like doors opening late at night or she is not drinking or eating.

My mom likes the picture gallery the most.

I like being able to see when my mother has passed by the motion detector and when people have come in or out of a door - it has helped me identify an issue with movement through the house. My mom likes the picture gallery the most. The video calls are okay too. For me (child), being able to see doors opening and movement is good.

Videocalling.
