Animal Friends OS displays your iDogCam live camera feeds directly inside the software where you manage bookings, staff, grooming, boarding, and clients. No extra tabs. No separate app. No copy-pasting URLs. Real-time MJPEG streams, proxied securely through our backend.
Two independent services, one unified dashboard. iDogCam handles the streaming, camera management, and camera billing. Animal Friends OS handles everything else — and displays your cameras inside the same screen you already use every day.
Camera streaming service, installation guidance, compatibility with 95% of cameras (any RTSP-capable camera works), live MJPEG feeds for every kennel and play area, and their own billing relationship with you for the camera service.
The dashboard where your cameras appear. Bookings, kennel assignments, staff scheduling, grooming, payroll, QuickBooks, SMS — all in one place. Your cameras show up right inside the software your team uses every day.
Camera credentials never touch the browser. Animal Friends OS proxies every stream through our backend using short-lived HMAC-signed tokens, so your iDogCam auth never leaks through page source or dev tools.
Once you have an iDogCam account, connecting it to Animal Friends OS is a 3-step flow. No dev work, no API keys to generate, no code to write.
iDogCam provides two values when your account is set up: a Kennel ID (your unique facility number) and an ERP Code (your facility passcode). That's it. If you already have iDogCam cameras, you already have these — contact iDogCam at support@idogcam.com.
Log into your Animal Friends OS dashboard, go to the Cameras section, and click the Settings button. You'll see two input fields: Kennel ID and ERP Code. Paste them in.
The Test Connection button verifies your credentials by fetching your facility name. Then click Sync Cameras — your entire camera list appears in the dashboard within seconds. Every new camera you add with iDogCam in the future shows up automatically next time you open the Cameras page.
