CAM4.com (commonly abbreviated CAM4), is a live streaming website featuring live performances by primarily amateur performers. Streams on CAM4 often feature nudity and sexual activity. In 2020, Wired reported[1] that CAM4's production server did not have a password set in their ElasticSearch instance, a common security mistake, which may have exposed user information.

Concept

CAM4 is used mostly by amateur performers who stream video and audio.[citation needed] Customers can purchase virtual tokens, which can be used to tip performers or pay for private shows.[citation needed] Customers can use live text chat in each performer's "room" or to communicate directly to each other.[citation needed] CAM4 has paid out more than $100m in performer commissions since its inception in 2007.[2]

Strategic partnerships

In May 2016, CAM4 partnered with VRtube.xxx to launch CAM4VR, a 360° 3D virtual reality live cam experience available on the CAM4 platform.[3] VRTube.xxx co-founder, Ela Darling spearheaded the initiative.[4] The site is working with Ela Darling to distribute virtual reality cameras to models.[5][6][7]

In February 2017, CAM4 announced a partnership with teledildonics manufacturer Kiiroo, launching a "live touch" feature that syncs the vibration of the Kiiroo sex toy to tokens tipped during a live webcam show.[8]

Sponsorships

CAM4 is a diamond member of the Free Speech Coalition[9] and has been a title sponsor of the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) since 2011.[10]

In September 2017, CAM4 teamed up with American model and activist Amber Rose in support of The Amber Rose SlutWalk, a nonprofit advocacy organization that works to end slut-shaming and to spark a conversation on women's empowerment and LGBTQ rights.[11][12]

CAM4 is a principal sponsor of the New York AIDS Walk.[13][14]

In September 2021, CAM4 announced its renewed sponsorship of Pineapple Support, a non-profit organization that offers low cost mental health services for adult industry professionals.[15]

Campaigns

In 2016, CAM4 commissioned a global research study from French Research firm iFop, designed to better understand female orgasm habits and the differences between nationalities.[16][17][18][19][20]

To mark New York Fashion week, CAM4 formed a collaboration with jewelry designer Chris Habana to open a pop-up store on the Lower East Side of New York City. At the night's opening, models and sex workers, including François Sagat and Amanda Lepore, modeled a new jewelry collection.[citation needed] 

Industry recognition

The XBIZ Award for Live Cam Site of the Year was awarded to CAM4 in 2015.[21] In 2016, CAM4.com won an Adult Webcam Award for Best European Adult Webcam Site. Additionally, a CAM4 co-founder was inducted into the Adult Webcam Awards Hall of Fame.[22]
