Crowdcams company profile

Crowdcams is a video-surveillance crowdsourcing platform that makes it possible for regular internet users to contribute in reducing crime remotely. It is a non-profit that encourages internet users to spend a small amount of their time in actively monitoring live streams of regular locations such as roads and intersections and gives them a way to report any criminal and suspicious activity. It also allows publication of new live streams via the UStream platform and makes it possible for people around the world to crowdsource surveillance in public areas around them. Crowdcams is founded and maintained by Ramit Arora and Anant Singh, both students at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.
