About Unicam
Unicam is an AI-powered IP camera platform that unifies ONVIF cameras, mobile devices, and live video streams into a single monitoring system. It analyzes every motion event with AI, sends plain-language smart alerts with summaries and clips, and turns any RTSP, WebRTC, or HLS stream into searchable, actionable insights across iOS, Android, tvOS, web, and desktop.
