Hasslefree and Fully Customizable IP Camera Firmware with open API
Goodcam:
Better than just good
Unparalleled customization options
The options to modify the Goodcam firmware go far beyond the limits of normal IP cameras. You can easily program your own app or integrate the camera with your existing infrastructure.
Clear open API
Our team of experienced developers programmed the API and also created its complete documentation. You can view it all online and decide if it’s a good fit for your objectives.
Current and traditional tech
Goodcam firmware streams via WebRTC and html5 video fMP4, however, it’s also compatible with traditional streaming methods like RTSP and MJPEG.
Complete control
With our firmware, you have complete local and remote control over the cameras. Plus, for larger projects, we offer the option of complete camera customization, including special connectors and clients.
Security is priority #1
Goodcam has encrypted streaming and other ways of communicating with the opposing party’s camera. By the spring of 2024, we’re also preparing to launch the OTA function, which ensures uninterrupted security updates.

The ideal candidate for Goodcam
Everyone from independent developers and startups to established companies enjoys the Goodcam advantages. Freelancers appreciate using a tool to test their ideas or to develop new apps directly, all with minimal up-front costs. We then provide companies with firmware integration with their systems and even add their logo to the cameras. Our usual clients are alarm companies, however, Goodcam’s functions are also applicable in the insurance industry, telecommunications, and as part of smart home systems.
For independent developers
IP cameras don’t typically offer the option to develop your own app, but if they do, you can completely forget about support during integration. With Goodcam, you can start programming your own app immediately upon delivery. Issues with integration? We’ll solve them within 24 hours.
Main advantages
- Fast delivery within a few days after ordering
- Start programming immediately with zero irritating retail calls
- Compile and upload any code directly to the camera using SSH
- We’re based in Europe, so there’s no haggling, negotiating, or communicational barriers
- Simple and encrypted streaming without calling home into foreign clouds

FAQ
Can you embed our software client into the camera firmware?
Yes, we can also add your cloud client to the firmware or adjust the firmware to meet your needs.
Can I stream remotely into our own mobile app or our own server?
Yes. You can stream from the cameras directly to your mobile applications or to your servers and process the stream there. You can also manage cameras remotely via API. All communication is encrypted.
How does your support work?
With us, you’ll be speaking directly to the developers. We guarantee a response and a solution to your problems within 24 hours. We’re not only interested in your problems but also your ideas. One person is tasked with your problem, meaning there’s no risk that tomorrow we won’t know what you spoke about today.
How hard is it to integrate the security camera into my system?
We ship the cameras with both a local and remote API, which makes connecting them to your external systems very easy. We can also add your cloud client to the firmware or adjust the firmware to meet your needs.
How do you handle video integration from the IP cameras into the mobile app?
You can use WebRTC, html5 video fMP4 or RTSP in your mobile app to display the video from cameras.
How do you handle firmware updates and security issues?
Using the OTA function (over-the-air), you can update the cameras remotely. You have complete control over when (or if at all) the update takes place.
I've had bad experiences with suppliers who do not speak English and I’m bothered by the different time zones. How Goodcam works?
Goodcam is based in the heart of Europe, more specifically in Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic. We share the same culture and language as you. With us, there’s no need to fear the problems often associated with the largest camera manufacturers.
I need the cameras branded with my own logo as soon as possible. How fast can you ship them to me?
We’ll ship all branded IP cameras to you in approx. 60 days after placing your order.
Our solution helped the Angelcam company by reducing their installation time to a minimum and solving problems with the cameras behind firewalls.
Angelcam operates a cloud-based platform for recording, streaming, monitoring and sharing video from security cameras. Its platform is trusted by 150,000 users from 200 countries around the world. Angelcam developers have long been looking for a way to offer their customers a security camera that will be directly integrated with the existing Angelcam infrastructure. Goodcam prepared a camera for Angelcam containing firmware tailored to the needs of Angelcam. Thanks to this, the installation time of the camera has been reduced to a minimum and it does not make any special demands on the technician, the camera is easily installed from the Angelcam mobile application. The image from the camera is transmitted encrypted directly to the Angelcam cloud, and the problem with cameras behind firewalls has also been solved. For a long time, Angelcam tried to establish cooperation with traditional camera manufacturers, but it never led to a successful goal. In addition to software integration, Goodcam also offered branding of cameras and all packaging to the Angelcam identity.
Camera installation within 60 secs.
“With Angelcam, we reduced the installation time to a minimum and solved a problem with the cameras behind firewalls.”
I believe we spent hundreds of man-days exploring every possible way to simplify the security cameras’ cloud connectivity. In the end, we decided to develop our own communication protocol, enabling video devices to connect to the cloud easily, reliably, and securely, without the need for port-forwarding, public or static IP addresses, UPnP, or similar. Today, the Angelcam Connector is a market-proven solution available for almost any device and platform, from AXIS cameras and speakers to Ubiquiti EdgeRouter or ARM devices like RPi.
Yet, the market has evolved:
- Business customers started wondering why their professional security cameras were much more expensive than retail cameras while lacking some advanced features, e.g., over-the-air firmware upgrades.
- Enterprise customers who already had experience sourcing OEM cameras overseas learned the hard way that they need more control over firmware releases and more reliable suppliers.
- State institutions and risk-aware customers avoid using Chinese-made firmware.
For all the reasons above, we have partnered with Goodcam—the first and only independent Western-based firmware producer for security cameras. I appreciate that they were able to implement the required changes quickly, were responsive and reliable, and ultimately supplied the complete product based on our requests—all without us ever needing to speak to a hardware producer.
The Goodcam and Angelcam partnership also means that it’s now easier than ever for anyone to offer “their own security camera”, optionally combined with a cloud solution. Our combined products offer a unique end-to-end solution for any startup or enterprise developer, monitoring station, telco, or insurance companies looking to use security cameras at scale, develop their product quickly, and have a long-term reliable partner who will support them from pilot to commercial launch.
„All documentation was easy to understand and clearly optimised for ease of development. I have no hesitation in recommending Goodcam.”
We specialize in UX analysis and mobile app development at Skoumal Studio. For our client Angelcam, we were asked to integrate their new Angelcam One camera into their existing mobile app. This camera is supplied and developed by Goodcam.io, who have developed their own firmware for the IP camera. The firmware includes an API for developers to easily configure and control the camera. In addition, Goodcam can add any client program to the firmware at the customer’s request. This is also the case in our project, where Goodcam has added a special connector to the firmware that establishes an encrypted tunnel directly into the Angelcam infrastructure when the camera is started. Users can easily find the cameras on the network, set up user accounts, and view the images when installing the cameras thanks to the API. Goodcam offers developer support, but we weren’t forced to use it. All documentation was easy to understand and clearly optimized for easy development. I have no hesitation in recommending Goodcam.
