What Life Check Systems does

Life Check Systems is a privately held Tennessee LLC headquartered in Brentwood, founded in 2017, that sells a subscription-based NFC security accountability platform to correctional facilities, K-12 schools and universities, and law enforcement agencies. The system replaces falsifiable paper-based security logs with verified digital records by requiring officers and staff to physically tap durable NFC tags installed at checkpoints, doors, and inmate locations with a mobile device — the tap registers an observation in a cloud-based admin dashboard with timestamps, photos, video, and officer identification. The platform is composed of an iOS and Android mobile application, NFC location hardware tags, an integrated on-demand HD body camera on each device, inmate wristband/ID tracking, an API layer that integrates with Jail Management Systems (JMS), and Verizon-backed wireless connectivity with local-storage failover. Real-time supervisor monitoring, graduated never-miss alarms, and tamper-evident audit logs are the operational core of the value proposition in compliance-critical environments.

Revenue is generated primarily through monthly subscriptions priced on facility size — correctional facilities are quoted by bed capacity (a representative 200-bed facility is sold at approximately $16,000 in startup hardware and license fees plus roughly $750 per month recurring, with larger facilities such as a documented Taylor County Jail example running $1,500/month and a total contract value above $45,000), while schools are priced by district or campus size. Optional revenue comes from dedicated body camera hardware and magnetic holsters sold separately from the base subscription. The company sells exclusively through direct field sales and consultative demo-driven engagement, with no resellers or marketplaces, and selectively uses pilot programs (e.g., 4 of 7 Obion County schools before district rollout) to convert to multi-site contracts.

Deployed footprint is approximately 100+ facilities across 12 U.S. states with 6K+ tracking points, encompassing 18K+ monitored beds, 50K+ inmates tracked, 32M+ direct inmate observations, and 1M+ photos and videos logged. Public, education, and law enforcement customers are all small-to-mid-sized (county jails, single school districts, sheriff offices), and the company has no disclosed outside investors, no parent organization, and operates with a headcount band of 1-10 employees. The operating model is therefore lean, founder-led, and bootstrapped; the strategic posture is vertical-focused (two concentrated verticals), geographically limited to the United States, and built around an installed-base expansion motion within and across counties and districts.

Core offering

Life Check Systems sells a subscription-based NFC security accountability platform that replaces paper security logs with verified digital records at correctional facilities and schools. The offering combines durable NFC location tags, mobile devices with integrated body cameras, and a cloud-based admin dashboard that provides real-time monitoring, automated compliance alerting, inmate/wristband tracking, and digital reporting. Customers pay a one-time hardware and setup fee plus an all-inclusive monthly subscription priced by facility bed capacity (correctional) or school/district size (education).

Product overview

Life Check Systems offers a unified security technology platform with two primary market solutions: a Correctional Facilities Security System and a Schools & Universities Security System. Both solutions share the same core technology infrastructure—a cloud-based admin dashboard, NFC location tags, and mobile devices with integrated body cameras. The correctional product suite includes modules for inmate tracking, compliance monitoring, risk management, and officer documentation. The school product focuses on door security and access control. The platform provides real-time monitoring, automated alerts, digital reporting, and integrates with jail management systems via API. Pricing for correctional facilities is based on bed capacity, while school pricing uses a monthly service fee model.
