If you are like most business owners, you are probably consistently running a million miles an hour. Your frantic schedule probably has you working long hours and often you are called away from the office during normal business hours. Do you feel like you have little visibility as to what goes on while you’re away? Or do you feel unsafe when you are working alone in the office late at night? GotoCamera might be the solution you’ve been looking for!
GotoCamera is a cloud service that helps you watch over your business easily and affordably. Forget about installing costly surveillance cameras or investing in expensive security devices. The application allows you to keep an eye on your business using webcams, a computer and mobile phones that you already own and is compatible with all USB and integrated webcams. Once your webcam is plugged in the process takes under five minutes to set up. Users simply need to register, download the program, set up a user name and password and login. That’s it – it really is that simple.
GotoCamera has the capability to transform any webcam into motion detecting cameras, sending alerts to your mobile phone and email while archiving the footage in the cloud where it can’t be tampered with. You can setup GotoCamera to record snapshots and videos every minute, all through the day. Authorized users can login GotoCamera from anywhere in the world to review, delete, or download the footage. GotoCamera is also mobile! Login on-the-go using your mobile phone browser or the free iPhone app and access snapshots and videos, remotely change your motion detection settings or manage your recorded footage.
You’re probably wondering if this solution is within your budget. You will never believe that you can gain peace of mind over your business for free! The free version of GotoCamera offers one video camera, mobile phone access, live snapshots, unlimited 10-second video clips, live video streams for the first seven days of service and 50 MB of online storage. GotoCamera’s premium package, only costing $39.95 a year, accomodates a total of 4 video cameras, unlimited live video streaming and 1000 MB of online storage.
GotoCamera offers business owners a great deal of functionality with virtually no investment. Not only does it offer access inside your business while you are away, but it’s also a great alternative for after hours security.
