Uses of Gotocamera:
1) As a nanny cam: Gotocamera can be used as a nanny cam to keep an eye on your children. Many GotoCamera subscribers use the service to watch over their children whether the children are in a GotoCamera-Enabled crche, at home with a professional nanny or baby-sitter, or being looked after by helpful grandparents.
2) Elder care: It can be used as for taking care of your parents and relatives. As our parents and grandparents get older, it's only natural for us to worry more about their safety and security. Especially when they live far away from us. Or in a nursing / retirement home. We're not suggesting that anyone violate their privacy, but a camera in a common area (such as the TV room or the Library) can be very useful indeed.
3) Theft protection: You can monitor the stuffs anytime from anywhere.
4) Watch over your pets: You can have an eye on your pets while you are away.
5) Vacation cam: When you are away you definitely need a tool to watch your house and all. Gotocamera comes handy for this purpose.
