Free Premium Account
Every camera host gets a complimentary premium account ($9.99/month value) with full HD access to the entire Port of Cams network, plus daily viewer analytics.
Security We Spent Months Engineering
Before we streamed a single frame, we spent months hardening the infrastructure. Every decision — from how the camera connects to how viewers receive segments — was designed with security first.
100% Encrypted Feed, End to End
Every byte your camera transmits travels over TLS-encrypted RTMP — from the moment it leaves your location to the moment it lands on our servers. Plaintext never touches the wire.
Hardened Private Infrastructure
Our streaming servers run on locked-down private endpoints — no public RTMP exposure, no shared ingress. Months of penetration testing and DDoS mitigation are baked in.
Unique Stream Keys Per Camera
Each camera gets a cryptographically unique stream key. Keys are rotated on demand. Even if one were compromised, zero other feeds are affected.
Authenticated HLS Delivery
Viewers receive time-limited, signed segment URLs. Nobody can hotlink or leech your stream. Premium feeds add an additional token layer — only paying subscribers can decrypt.
