Using webcam or smartphone as a security camera may seem less common than using a real security camera, however, it has a few advantages. A security camera can be difficult to setup for average users. Without support, it can take hours to configure. With Webcam Security Camera, it is completely effortless. This app has most of a regular security camera’s features, yet does not require any learning curve to setup/manage. The only drawback is the need of a PC, though at this day in age that will not be an issue for most users. In fact, most users quickly find that the convenience of your own computer is the best way to manage your secure recordings.

Users who are interested in a DIY solution and have an extra PC / laptop can also use our service. Instead of using a built-in webcam, users can order a webcam with a build-in microphone and supported night vision for only about $20, significantly cheaper than a regular IP camera.
