You may have seen "nanny-cams" or childcare cams before. Likely, these had a small image, were blurry, and were more of a slideshow than streaming video. Those cameras are using technology that was implemented years ago, when video was very new on the internet. As movie trailers, ABC.com, Yahoo video and others have proven, video is now a mature medium on the internet. It's time to upgrade your expectations for live video surveillance.

Because we use a managed central server, unlike the old "IP Camera" technology, only one video feed is sent out from the source. That video feed is then sent out to each logged-in parent directly from our high-speed servers. This avoids bandwidth overload problems that plague the old technology.

Another amazing benefit of iFoxCam over other video systems is our ease of use. Unlike IP-cams, there are no special plugins, Active-X controls, or other software to download. All you need is a simple webcam to broadcast, and a standard web browser to view the video. That's it. Really. Couldn't be easier!
