Any brand · your cloud · worldwide
Every camera. Your cloud.
No SD cards.
One premium app for every camera you own, from Hikvision and Dahua to Tapo, Imou and CP PLUS. Footage records straight to your Google Drive, Dropbox or NAS, end-to-end encrypted.
Works with the cameras already on your walls, in any country
The problem
You're paying three times for the same footage.
You pay for a memory card in every camera, then a subscription for every brand, and you still juggle an app for each. Meanwhile your footage sits on someone else's servers.

Works worldwide
If it records video, Unicam speaks its language.
Hikvision in Dubai, CP PLUS in Delhi, Tapo in Tokyo, Lorex in Texas, Abus in Berlin. Unicam talks to cameras through ONVIF and RTSP, the open standards almost every IP camera, NVR and DVR supports. So it isn't a short list of partners. It's most of the market.

Support varies by model: the camera must expose ONVIF or RTSP. Setup is tested on Hikvision, Dahua, Tapo, Imou, Reolink, CP PLUS and Amcrest. Brands marked “bridge” need an advanced setup that runs on your own hub with your own login. Brand names are trademarks of their owners; Unicam is not affiliated with them.
Homes, villas & apartments. Gates, doors, parking and every room.
Shops, offices & multiple sites. Connect the NVR you already have by adding each channel's stream.
How it works
Set up in the time it takes to make coffee.
A small hub at home pulls every camera's stream and copies it to storage you own. It never goes through our servers.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Anything else? Join the waitlist and reply to the welcome email. A human reads every one.
Which cameras work with Unicam?+
Most cameras sold worldwide. Unicam connects through ONVIF and RTSP, the open standards supported by most IP cameras, NVRs and DVRs from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Hanwha, Uniview, Reolink, TP-Link Tapo, Imou, Ezviz, CP PLUS, Godrej, Lorex and Swann. Setup is tested on Hikvision, Dahua, Tapo, Imou, Reolink, CP PLUS and Amcrest. Xiaomi, Wyze, Ring and Nest are advanced setups through a bridge that runs on your own hub with your own login.
How does the free trial work?+
Every new hub gets 3 days of Pro with every feature unlocked. When the trial ends, pick Essential, Plus or Pro to keep using the app. Footage already in your Drive or NAS stays yours either way.
What if I have more cameras than my plan covers?+
Move up a plan, or add cameras in packs of 5 for $3.99/month. Shops, offices and estates with more than 25 cameras or many sites get a Business plan from $49/month.
Do I need to buy a hub?+
No. The hub runs on something you likely already own: a Mac or Windows PC (the desktop app records in the background), a Raspberry Pi, or a NAS or server with Docker.
Can Unicam see my footage?+
No. Video goes from your cameras to your hub to your own storage. Cloud uploads are end-to-end encrypted with AES-256-GCM, so Google, Dropbox or Amazon only ever store ciphertext. Only your recovery key can decrypt it.
Will this fill up my Google Drive?+
Not quickly. Unicam copies your camera's own H.264/H.265 without re-encoding and keeps only footage around motion in Events mode, typically 80–95% less than 24/7 recording. Retention is automatic: continuous footage for 7 days, events for 30, starred clips forever.
Does it work for shops, offices and multiple sites?+
Yes. Any NVR or DVR that exposes RTSP works: add each channel's stream. Pro covers up to 25 cameras, and multiple sites in one app are coming soon. Larger setups get a Business plan from $49/month.
