Use case – when to benefit from this service
--------------------------------------------------
You can take advantage of Rusuban Cam in the following cases:
While you’re away, you are worried whether …
- your kids got home safe from school.
- pets are fine and not misbehaving at home.
- your parent living alone is doing okay.
- no one is breaking into your house.
Rusuban Cam uses a smartphone, not a specialized camera, for capturing. This means you can make good use of old unused smarphones and tablets in the living room.

Features – How is Rusuban Cam different from other similar services
--------------------------------------------------
- Assured privacy
Uncomfortable with having a camera set up at your home for privacy reasons?
Rusuban Cam uses a special authentication method that does not use passwords because passwords are easily stolen or cracked. Instead of passwords, it provides a special authentication method using a QR code which is used to register members who can view shots taken by your Rusuban Cam device. Also, a list of registered members can be managed so you can easily find and remove people who are not meant to be members.
- Easy set-up
Setting up the camera seems cumbersome?
Rusuban Cam is an app for smartphones, so there’s no need to purchase a new camera for the monitoring purpose nor go through a complex setting. Setting up Rusuban Cam is easy for anyone who is familiar with installing and using apps on a smartphone.
- High precision motion detect capture
The service provider of Rusuban Cam, Morpho, Inc., is a global leader in image processing technology. The app offers “Motion Detect Capture” mode which captures images only when there’s a movement in front of the camera. This enables monitoring service with minimum network bandwidth unlike other services utilizing video streaming.
- Low cost
Concerned that monitoring service would cost a lot?
Rusuban Cam utilizes unused smartphones – for example, that old device that is no longer used because you just replaced it with the latest model. This means that no new hardware investment is required to start using this monitoring service. The service fee is 300 or $2.99/30 days which is far more affordable compared to the conventional monitoring services. Find more about the fee in “Requirements” section.
