Use case – when to benefit from this service
--------------------------------------------------
Do you ever worry about kids and pets left at home or an elderly living alone?
You can take advantage of Rusuban Cam in the following cases:

While you’re away, you are worried whether …
- your kids got home safe from school.
- pets are fine and not misbehaving at home.
- your parent living alone is doing okay.
- no one is breaking into your house.

Rusuban Cam uses a smartphone, not a specialized camera, for capturing. This means you can make good use of old unused smarphones and tablets in the living room.

Features – How is Rusuban Cam different from other similar services
--------------------------------------------------
- Low cost
Concerned that monitoring service can be pricey?

Rusuban Cam is currently offered as a free service. It will not stay this way forever, but when it becomes a charged service, we will do our best to keep the price low.
While keeping the fee to the minimum, we will continue our efforts to provide safe and secure service.
Please download the app and give it a try to see if this service meets your needs.

Our current plan is to make Rusuban Cam a charged service starting Juanuary, 2014. The finalized schedule will be announced here when it’s ready.

- Assured privacy
Uncomfortable with having a camera set up at your home for privacy reasons?

Rusuban Cam uses a special authentication method that does not use passwords because passwords are easily stolen or cracked. Instead of passwords, it provides a special authentication method using a QR code which is used to register members who can view shots taken by your Rusuban Cam device. Also, a list of registered members can be managed so you can easily find people who are not meant to be members.

- Easy set-up
Setting up the camera seems cumbersome?

Rusuban Cam is an app for smartphones, so there’s no need for purchasing a new camera for the monitoring purpose nor go through a complex setting. Setting up Rusuban Cam is easy for anyone who is familiar with installing and using apps on a smartphone.
