Around 2009, our home in Curaçao was broken into. At the time, I had a camera set up — I could even pull up the live feed remotely from my phone. But when it mattered most, the footage wasn't there. The recordings were stored on a local device, and that device was gone.
That experience stayed with me. The camera worked — it was recording. But without a secure backup somewhere else, everything it captured was lost the moment something went wrong on-site.
Years later, when cloud storage became affordable and internet access reliable enough, I started asking why there wasn't a simple, accessible way to back up camera footage automatically. What I found was either too expensive, too complex, or built for large enterprises — not for regular people with a camera at home or at their business. So I built CamBackup.
