WebCamProShop: How we got started

I stumbled upon the idea for this business while pursuing a vision I had for streaming live content over the internet. At that time such a thing did not exist and live streaming controllable cameras were not available.

The vision for Webcamproshop started in 1995 while traveling through South America after graduating from college, on a very remote beach a tourist web programmer suggested in small talk that network cameras can be used to transmit live images to computers worldwide through the “Net”. After this conversation and with over 5 years of extensive research it was obvious that not only is live video via public networks possible but it can serve many useful purposes. In 2001 www.webcamproshop.com went live with a 100 % focus on designing and offering complete network video systems that include all aspects network cameras, Wireless, NVR software, motion detectors, IR lighting, Outdoor housings and other accessories needed to make a camera system complete and functional. This expertise continues to define our WCPS culture today. Webcamproshop has designed some of the more complex remote projects from the nation’s largest School districts with over 220 campuses to remote network video securing the US Military zones in Iraq. Let our experience work for you by reducing engineering costs, set up time and hardware/software procurement.
