Elf Alert: Elf & Santa Camera

Catch your Elf on “camera” and turn mornings into magic.

Elf Alert lets parents secretly create “security footage” of their holiday elf coming to life, then surprise kids with a timed alert when they are around to watch it. Capture the gasp, the squeal, the wide eyes. All in one app.

How it works

Upload a photo of your elf
Take a picture of your elf in its scene. Elf Alert turns that photo into a short video where the elf comes to life and returns to the final pose.

Schedule the “New Footage Detected” alert
Pick the time you want an alert to pop up when your kids are nearby so it feels like the elf was just caught on camera.

Watch together and record the reaction
Hit play, hand over the phone, and use the built in reaction recorder to capture your kids’ faces while they watch the “evidence.”

Make your elf talk
Type what you want your elf to say and make it speak in a fun, kid friendly voice. Perfect for reminders, inside jokes, or special messages from the North Pole.

Features parents love

Elf comes to life from a single photo
Create magical “caught on camera” clips without editing skills or fancy equipment.

Timed alerts for maximum surprise
Schedule notifications for mornings, after school, or bedtime, so the moment always feels live.

Built in reaction recorder
Record your child watching the video so you never miss their genuine reaction.

Custom elf messages
Make your elf “talk” with custom text that turns into audio. Great for encouragement, chores, or playful warnings from the elf.

Parent only controls
Keep the magic safe. Set everything up in a private parent area so kids only see the fun part.

Turn the elf tradition into something your kids will never forget. Elf Alert helps you do the work once and relive the reactions forever.

Elf Alert is created by Bolandia Creative Inc. and helps parents capture magical elf moments on camera. It works with any holiday elf you already have at home. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Elf on the Shelf®, but many families use Elf Alert alongside their existing Elf on the Shelf traditions.
