BagCam was created around a simple belief: visibility changes behavior.
Most theft and loss solutions are reactive. They help people after something has already happened. BagCam is designed to help support prevention by combining visible deterrence, app-connected awareness, GPS/live awareness, and user-controlled saved clips into carry goods people already use every day.
Our goal is not to build one backpack. Our goal is to help define a new category of visible, connected security across carry products.
