Your Business in Your Pocket - Anytime, Anywhere Camera Access Made Easy

As a business owner or manager, you're constantly juggling responsibilities, whether you're on-site, at home, or traveling for business. The nagging question often arises: "Is everything okay at the shop, office, or warehouse right now?" You need to protect your assets, ensure smooth operations, and stay connected without being tied to a physical location.

The challenge of traditional surveillance systems lies in their complexity and limited accessibility. They often require specialized equipment, extensive technical knowledge, and restrict your ability to monitor and manage your premises remotely. This can lead to missed incidents, delayed responses, and a constant underlying worry about the security and efficiency of your business.

This is where UniCam steps in, transforming how you oversee your business. With our suite of interconnected products—Unicam Mobile, Unicam HUB, and Unicam AI Platform—you gain the power of anytime, anywhere camera access. We provide simple, accessible solutions that deliver peace of mind, enhance security, and unlock valuable operational insights, all from the palm of your hand.

Seamless Monitoring - Your Business, Your Device

Imagine being able to check in on your storefront, warehouse, or office directly from your phone, tablet, or smart TV. With Unicam Mobile, this convenience becomes a reality. This cross-platform IP camera monitoring application ensures your business is always in your pocket.

What it is: Unicam Mobile works across iOS, Android, tvOS, and AndroidTV, offering flexible custom layouts for your camera feeds. It automatically detects IP cameras (internet protocol cameras – digital video cameras that send and receive data over a computer network) and devices on your local network using network discovery. It also supports the industry-standard ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) protocol, a universal standard that lets cameras from different brands work together. This means compatibility with thousands of IP cameras right out of the box. For those with existing cameras, it also supports common streaming protocols like RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol – a common way cameras send live video over the internet), MJPEG (Motion JPEG – an older but simple format for video streams), HLS (HTTP Live Streaming – a modern, adaptive streaming protocol often used for web and mobile video), and WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication – enables real-time voice, video, and data communication directly between browsers or apps).

Why it matters: This multiplatform access provides unparalleled flexibility. You’re not tied to a single device or location, giving you freedom and peace of mind. Knowing your system is compatible with various cameras means you can leverage existing hardware, saving on costly upgrades.

Real example: A small retail store owner can be at home, using their Unicam iOS app on an iPad, checking on customer foot traffic and ensuring staff are handling transactions efficiently. If they want to quickly peek at the loading dock, they can switch to their Unicam Android phone without missing a beat.

Repurpose & Save - Turn Old Phones into Smart Cameras

One of the most innovative features of Unicam Mobile is its ability to turn old smartphones into mobile security cameras.

What it is: Simply install the Unicam Mobile app on any spare iOS or Android smartphone, and it instantly becomes a live-streaming security camera, complete with cloud recording capabilities.

Why it matters: This feature dramatically reduces initial hardware costs. Instead of buying new dedicated cameras, you can utilize devices you already own, making professional-grade surveillance accessible and affordable for any budget.

Real example: A startup operating on a tight budget needs to monitor a new office space. Instead of investing in several new IP cameras, they repurpose three old smartphones using Unicam Mobile. They set them up in key areas, instantly gaining live monitoring and cloud recordings without significant capital expenditure.

Advanced Management - Beyond Basic Viewing

For businesses requiring more sophisticated control and automated alerts, Unicam HUB offers an advanced camera management and monitoring system that elevates your surveillance capabilities.

What it is: Unicam HUB provides robust features like motion detection and events, which automatically trigger alerts or recordings when movement is spotted. It also enables remote access to cameras securely through encrypted connections, and offers comprehensive camera management tools to configure, monitor, and update all connected cameras from one centralized place. All recordings are stored safely in the cloud, accessible anytime.

Why it matters: This suite of features means you're always informed and in control. Motion detection saves hours of manually reviewing footage, alerting you only when something significant happens. Secure remote access protects your sensitive video data, while centralized management simplifies maintenance and configuration for all your cameras.

Real example: A restaurant manager, while away on vacation, receives an alert on their Unicam Mobile app from Unicam HUB indicating motion after hours. They can instantly access the live feed securely, confirm it’s just a cleaning crew, and then check the cloud recordings from their Unicam HUB account later to ensure everything was properly secured.

Unlock Insights - AI for Smarter Business Decisions

Security is just the beginning. The Unicam AI Platform transforms your video data into actionable business intelligence, helping you understand and optimize your operations like never before.

What it is: The Unicam AI Platform can ingest any stream from any device – whether it's from your IP cameras, Unicam Mobile apps, or other sources. You can also upload existing video files for automatic understanding and event extraction using advanced AI, specifically Large Language Models (LLM – the AI technology that understands and processes human language). The platform allows for custom AI analysis with custom prompts, letting you define your own insights. You can choose from multiple LLM models to tailor performance and cost, and integrate analysis results directly into your own systems via webhooks (an automated message sent from an app when something happens, allowing other apps to react) and a powerful Developer API. Pricing is usage-based, so you only pay for what you use.

Why it matters: This platform moves beyond simple surveillance to provide profound business insights. You can automate monitoring tasks, identify patterns, improve efficiency, and make data-driven decisions that impact your bottom line. Its flexibility means it can adapt to your unique business needs, and the cost-effective pricing model ensures you get value for every dollar spent.

Real example: A retail chain uses the Unicam AI Platform to analyze customer foot traffic patterns in their stores. By using custom AI analysis with prompts like "detect customer dwell time in product aisles" or "count entries and exits," they gain insights into popular areas and optimize store layouts for better sales. They integrate these analysis results into their CRM system using the Developer API, creating automated reports that help managers refine marketing strategies and staff deployment.

Secure Cloud Storage and Industry Compatibility

Reliable storage and broad compatibility are cornerstones of any effective surveillance system. UniCam ensures your footage is safe and your hardware works together seamlessly.

What it is: Both Unicam Mobile and Unicam HUB offer secure cloud recordings, allowing you to store and access your video footage safely in the cloud, protected against local hardware failures or theft. Unicam Mobile’s network discovery and ONVIF protocol support make integrating new or existing IP cameras incredibly straightforward.

Why it matters: Cloud storage provides superior data security and accessibility. You'll never lose crucial footage, and you can review it from any location, on any device. Broad compatibility simplifies setup and ensures your investment in cameras remains flexible, regardless of brand.

Real example: After a minor incident at their warehouse, a facility manager can easily access Unicam HUB's cloud recordings from their office laptop to review the events, even if the local recording device was damaged. The fact that their diverse range of ONVIF-compatible cameras from different manufacturers all integrate seamlessly with Unicam Mobile and Unicam HUB simplifies their entire security infrastructure.
