Documentation

This cloud gives you remote access to the OpenIPC cameras you already own. The cameras stay on your own network; the cloud only brings the two of you together – and keeps no video and no frames.

The beta is closed: an account needs an invite code, and the code comes from the project Administrator. Start with Getting started – registration and your first enrolment token – and then connect a camera.
