    Hi all!

    We are two developers from Toronto that built a product that allows you to turn any device with a browser and a camera into a security camera.

    We posted our product on Show HN about a month ago and received a ton of fantastic feedback. We've taken a lot of your feedback and made some significant changes to try and improve Viyo!

    Some of the major changes:

    - We rebranded from UView to Viyo

    - We updated the homepage design

    - We overhauled the privacy policy

    - We added a security section

    - We changed from free trial to freemium (free forever with optional paid premium)

    - We added a referral program to add free cameras

    We are still in the early stages of launching our product so any and all feedback is always appreciated!

    Cool idea!, I will definitely give it a try. The change to freemium has made me consider trying it.

    It would be nice to have also a simple "how it works" section in the front page. Anything related to stream video with a third party involved generates always privacy concerns, so having a simple schematic of how and where the video stream data flows would be great.
