The Cam.ly IP Wireless Security Camera

Hardware specifications and other details

All of our wireless security cameras are based on the latest H.264 video compression technology. This leads to incredibly low video transmission bitrates, up to 90% less than cameras which use older technology. This means that you can leave your camera on all the time and store your video in our secure vault. Most cable or DSL internet connections are more than fast enough to support our default 256 Kbps video bitrate for 640 x 480 video at 24 frames per second.

The Online Service

Simple, secure access to your video

Our online service works with your cameras to make setting up a video security camera system anywhere easier than it has ever been before. Some of the features of our service include:

  1. The camera will work behind home routers and corporate firewalls with zero configuration by initiating a secure connection with our servers.
  2. We store 30 full days of 24/7 video at 24 frames per second and 640x480 resolution.
  3. Set everything up in minutes.
  4. No additional hardware is required.
  5. Video plays straight to Adobe Flash (nearly all other IP cameras are not compatible with Adobe's proprietary RTMP protocol). Other IP cameras require the user to install a Java Applet or other software in order to view the video. Cam.ly cameras stream straight to Adobe Flash, which is installed on 99%+ of browsers.
  6. Automatic Motion Detection. Don't sit through hours of video. Just skip to the action. We allow you to configure sensitivity thresholds for motion detection.
  7. Receive Automated Emails and SMS messages. We can alert you immediately in the event that motion or other events are detected.
