Show HN: Viyo – Turn any device with a browser and camera into a security camera
viyo.ioHi all!
We are two developers from Toronto that built a product that allows you to turn any device with a browser and a camera into a security camera.
We posted our product on Show HN about a month ago and received a ton of fantastic feedback. We've taken a lot of your feedback and made some significant changes to try and improve Viyo!
Some of the major changes:
- We rebranded from UView to Viyo
- We updated the homepage design
- We overhauled the privacy policy
- We added a security section
- We changed from free trial to freemium (free forever with optional paid premium)
- We added a referral program to add free cameras
We are still in the early stages of launching our product so any and all feedback is always appreciated!

Cool idea!, I will definitely give it a try. The change to freemium has made me consider trying it.
It would be nice to have also a simple "how it works" section in the front page. Anything related to stream video with a third party involved generates always privacy concerns, so having a simple schematic of how and where the video stream data flows would be great.
That's a great suggestion! We do have a security section but the link is in the footer. I assume you mean having something like this more prominent?
oh, I did not see it. I would never think on the footer to look for that kind of information.
I really think if you make this more prominent it would be better. Just personal opinion.
