Were proud of what we have built, and look forward to making the Shonin Streamcam available for anyone who wants to feel safer as they go about their day, says Sameer Hasan, CEO & Founder, Shonin Inc. Much abuse and injustice still goes unaddressed, and in many cases perpetrators believe they can get away with it because its their word against ours, unless we have video proof. Shonin helps people secure video proof in situations where using their smartphones is not practical.

Born out of the desire to put an unbiased witness on your side, Shonin Streamcam is an easily wearable, rugged and waterproof camera. The Shonin Streamcam device is supported by feature-rich, intuitive software on mobile and in the cloud.

Record Directly to the Cloud in One Tap Through either a direct cellular connection with a SIM card, or while tethered to your smartphones wi-fi hotspot, Shonin Streamcam uploads video immediately to a secure cloud location or broadcasts to live video services like Facebook Live. All without even taking your phone out of your pocket.

Fully Featured Recording video with the Shonin Streamcam is made easy. Designed specifically with urgency and speed in mind, the device sports a large button on the front face of the device. A simple press of the button starts recording and streaming with no precision required. Shonin Streamcam captures your side of the story in crisp, wide-angle video. Video resolution is 1080p to local SD card and 720p when streaming or uploading to the cloud. Streamcam boasts IP67 waterproofing, and before launch, will undergo rigorous impact testing to ensure it can be worn worry-free in even the roughest scenarios.

Great Hardware Goes Best with Great Software The Shonin app lets you instantly view your videos as soon as they have finished recording. Capture video, view video, simple as that. The Shonin app allows you to easily make edits without losing the original raw footage, which is always securely stored until you choose to delete it. With a couple of taps, you can instantly share videos with your friends or on social media. The Shonin app also lets you customize just about everything about the video capture or device behavior, with settings that let you turn off the recording light, adjust the resolution, enable or disable cloud upload, and more. Once selected, settings take effect immediately.

Iconic Design Just like a home security camera, Shonin Streamcams colors, visibility and iconic design can act as a possible deterrent to aggressors.
