Trust and privacy
Childcare CCTV privacy with local control and on-prem AI.
Lunero is built to keep childcare CCTV governance practical for operators, directors, and reviewers, with local processing and clear accountability from the start.
The goal is not just privacy language. It is a deployment model that helps centres use AI detection and CCTV review without giving up practical control over footage.
Developed under university HREC oversight. Details available on request.
Sovereign by design
Built and hosted in Australia.
Video is processed on-prem and remains on-prem by default. No offshore subcontractors. No third-party cloud AI APIs. Lunero is Australian owned, built, and supported.
Direct answer
How does on-prem AI protect childcare CCTV privacy?
On-prem AI protects childcare CCTV privacy by processing video locally instead of continuously streaming footage to a third-party cloud, while role-based access and audit logs help operators control who can view, export, or review incident records.
Video stays local
The footage is processed on-site by default, which reduces cloud-video dependency and keeps operational control closer to the centre.
Access stays restricted
Role-based permissions and review logs help leadership track who viewed or exported what, and when they did it.
Governance stays practical
Operators can retain the evidence they need for follow-up without treating sensitive childcare footage as a general cloud analytics feed.
Ethical development
Ethics from day one.
Lunero was developed under formal university ethics approval and aligned to Australian research ethics and governance standards.
Trained only in approved environments, never via scraped or resold data. Every feature exists for one purpose: to make childcare safer while respecting privacy and consent.
Local processing
On-prem processing by default.
Footage is analysed on a local device. Any exports are local, permissioned, and auditable.
No cloud video streaming
All data processed and stored on-site.
Full ownership
Operators control retention, access, and exports.
Role-based access only
Limited to authorised staff.
Auditable exports
Every export is logged and traceable.
This approach helps protect families' privacy while keeping review and governance practical for operators.
Privacy rights
Designed to protect the rights of children and educators alike.
- Consent and notices are managed by the operator's policy and jurisdiction.
- Footage is used only for safety and compliance, as configured by operator policy.
- Default retention for non-incident footage is operator-configurable.
- Operators can support access requests in line with their privacy policy and legal obligations.
- Designed to support workplace surveillance compliance through consultation and controls.
- Staff rooms remain private.
- Footage supports fair, evidence-based reviews.
- Deployment should be introduced with proper workplace consultation.
Governance support
Incident governance advisory panel.
When a serious incident occurs, centres need guidance, not guesswork.
Lunero's incident governance advisory panel is designed to help keep serious responses lawful, ethical, and defensible.
This support becomes most important when an incident moves from internal review to external investigation.
Captures the right evidence while supporting privacy-first handling.
Provides a clearer escalation pathway for serious incidents.
Protects centres and educators with credible, documented procedures.
Compliance standards
Security program aligned to recognised standards and independently tested.
Our aim is ethical technology, local privacy, and trusted accountability for every childcare centre.
