🤝 How it works

The API is completely free. In exchange, partners add a "Powered by IPScameras" attribution on any page using the API data. This is an honor system — we trust partners to comply.

Required attribution (choose one):


<a href="https://ipscameras.com">Fraud data: IPScameras</a>

<!-- Option 2: Badge -->
