Through constant innovation and leading-class customer service, EarthCam has evolved as the premier solution provider, spanning a multitude of industries, from stadium construction and infrastructure development to showcasing tourism destinations and live event broadcasting.

Brian Cury, CEO and founder of EarthCam, Inc., launched EarthCam.com in 1996 with a mission to build a network of webcams offering views of unique and popular destinations throughout the world. The site quickly became a place "Where the World Watches the World", offering visitors internationally access to thousands of webcams.
As the company grew, EarthCam expanded beyond building its network of tourism cameras and extended its reach into other industries by developing and delivering technology for many applications in verticals including construction, transportation, and surveillance. With that concept came the creation of EarthCam.net, a site for businesses and organizations to purchase webcams and EarthCam's proprietary software to manage their camera networks.
EarthCam and other live webcam services have resulted in a huge impact upon entertainment and business, allowing for online "travel," meetings, and easy access to knowledge.
In May 2015, EarthCam announced that it had chosen Davis Brody Bond - Architect of the 9/11 Memorial Museum - to design its new 10 acre campus in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.
Expanding beyond the pages of its flagship site, EarthCam.com, a network of websites has grown to include EarthCam.net, WebCamStore.com, and EarthCamMobile.com, which cater to both consumers and professionals. Mobile applications for accessing EarthCam's live webcams and for clients to control their private cameras are available for Apple Inc. or Android (operating system) Devices.
EarthCam.com is a network of scenic webcams offering a complete searchable database of views of interesting and iconic places around the world. In 1999 it was claimed 20 people per day were adding their webcams to the website. In 2006 the website was a Webby Award Winner in the Tourism category. It is viewed by fans in 192 countries and ranks among the top 1% of all websites, according to Alexa.com.
