Let’s show you around

A quick tour of the essential features.

Cameras

The fastest way to get started is to use cameras you already have on your laptop, tablet, or phone. With Camio, your devices can analyze motion and record to the cloud, so you can securely view your video at any time. Watch the setup video.

Recording

Camio uploads snapshot images and video only when motion is detected. So there is no continuous video stream hogging your network. HD images are recorded at 1-2 frames per second. You can turn recording on or off any time.

Zones

Zones are user-created regions of a scene that make search and alerts more precise. Defining areas where the most meaningful motion occurs shows Camio what’s interesting to you.

Motion

98% of the pixel motion detected by cameras is meaningless. Browse quickly with the Smart Image Filter (in the View menu) to see only Interesting Motion, Important Motion, or everything ever recorded. By learning what’s important to you, Camio can distill hours of video into a few key minutes each day.

Alerts

Alerts tell you when something happens. Choose which zones trigger alerts and tell Camio how long to think before alerting you. Receive either email or push notifications on your phone.

Storage

There is no storage limit since everything is in the cloud. Anything older than 30 days is deleted automatically unless you save it or delete it before then. Your content is encrypted and replicated for tamper-proof reliability. Want more than 30 days? Tell us.

Guests

Add guests if you’d like them to see your live stream and all recorded content. You can also grant guests permission to receive alerts and share.

Share

You don’t have to share your camera just to share a few specific minutes with someone. Just click the Share button when viewing the search results you want to share. The resulting link requires no sign-in, so it’s easy for anyone with the link to view it.
