Your idea. Our camera platform.

Angelcam handles the infrastructure between physical cameras and the experience you sell. Start small with our APIs, then grow into a fully branded product without rebuilding the foundation.

01 / CONNECT

Connect anything

Bring RTSP, ONVIF, AngelBox, or embedded Connector devices online without public IPs or port forwarding.

02 / CAPTURE

Keep every useful moment

Live streams, cloud recordings and a rolling engine buffer give your product the right video at the right time.

03 / COMBINE

Add your advantage

Bring your workflow, data, AI models and industry expertise. Our open APIs make the platform yours to shape.

04 / SELL

Own the product

Deliver apps, hardware, alerts and services behind your own brand, pricing and customer relationship.

Angelcam MCP Connector

Give your AI agents eyes on the real world.

Connect your AI assistant to the cameras your Angelcam account can already access. Check a live view, explore recorded footage, investigate camera defects and review service usage. The standard connector also supports confirmed recording controls and approved feedback; choose /readonly for read-only access.

MCP use cases

Ask your cameras what’s happening.

Ask your AI to evaluate a fresh camera snapshot or review frames from recordings. To repeat checks and send alerts, add a schedule and notification workflow in your own app or assistant.
