CAM4 Webcams Review - Our Editor's Impression

CAM4 is a step away from what we have come to expect from traditional webcam sites. They've taken the classic mold, and moved, worked, and reshaped it into something of their own. Every site has its own unique functions and attributes that distinguish it from the others. At CAM4, they've taken some of the most popular and distinct features from the world's top cam sites, and recreated them in their own vision.

Upon your first visit you'll be presented with the cam rooms currently broadcasting to the most viewers. Female, Male, Transgender, and Couples will be all mixed up. If they are currently among the most watched cams at the moment, then you'll see them on top of the page. To sort out the performers that fall under your taste, you'll need to set the filters accordingly.

With great tools, comes great results!

Get to know their filtering system, first. It breaks down into 10 major categories, each with their own sub-categories. By default, you'll see all active broadcasters appearing on the site. If you want to see only women, and lose all the guys whacking it for the camera, then set Gender to Female. The new results will automatically load. Other top filters are Sexual Orientation, Body Type, Friends & Favorites, Ethnicity, and Locale. After you select your filters, and start entering various cam rooms, the filter selections will hold, but the moment you go to another area of the site, like the VR sex cams page, or into the Fan Clubs area, then your set filters will reset. If you have a Gold Membership, you'll be able to save as many filter selections as you want, and refer to them quickly for fast queries.

Come out to CAM4, we'll get together and have a few laughs, they said. The social media aspect of CAM4 is a big play. Their platform puts a lot of effort into connecting you with performers and keeping you updated with their live sex cam activity. Want to broadcast yourself, too? Even just a part of you? It's easily done through the profile you create when signing up. In your profile settings, you'll see Friends & Favorites, your Social Networks, Fan Clubs, and more. If it does not interest you to build out your own account and broadcast yourself, then just don't complete this area of your profile. Requesting to Add Friend does not require that you have a complete profile and that you broadcast, but it may help distinguish you from the mass of members with empty profiles. If a 'friend request' is not accepted, then you can always Favorite a performer to follow them.

Just put the tip in. See how it feels. If you don't want to spend a dime on CAM4, then you don't have to. There are always plenty of free performances happening on the site. Watch as much as you want without limitations. For those who want to have the performer notice you, and listen to your directions, tipping is the key to their heart. In the chat room, you'll see plenty of ways to send tips. There are 'quick tip' buttons at the bottom of the video player. They are set in denominations of 5, 10, 25, and 50 tokens. Below the player, you'll see a tip box to enter any amount you wish to send. Use this to send specific amounts when the performers post about what they'll do for a set amount. Additionally, when there is a Tip Goal set for a performance, you can see which members have contributed the most to the goal, and you may choose to add any amount, or use the Beat the Leader button to take the lead. Performers give special attention to tip leaders.

This is not the future. This is now. 360 virtual reality live cams get you far closer to the performers than you could've imagined. Download their free CAM4VR application to your VR device or mobile phone. They provide instructions on how to download and install their app for Samsung Gear VR, Google Cardboard, Oculus, and Vive. In the VR Cams area of the site, there is a published schedule of the upcoming VR sex cams. Check back often to keep up to date on the next show.

Join her Fan Club!

Get exclusive pictures and perks for supporting your favorite performer. The Fan Club membership at Cam4 is one of the cheapest Fan Club experiences we've come across. You'll find that most of the performers have a Fan Club set up. It's up to each model to decide if they want to offer it to their fans. When you do select to join a Fan Club, you'll see prices ranging from $5.00 to $20.00 a month. 

Fan Club Benefits:

• Access to exclusive photo galleries.
• Sending private messages is free and unlimited.
• Priority messaging into the performers Cam4 Mail.
• While the performer is in a private show with another member, you get to spy for free.
• During public chats, your username will appear next to a special badge, noting you're a Fan.
• A discounted rate on all items in the performer's content shop.

Empowered performers name their price-

The sex cam economy is competitive at Cam4. Performers choose all their own pricing for their Fan Clubs, private shows, group shows, and for spying. As you browse through all the models, you quickly realize that there is no standard in pricing. The models all do certain actions for tip amounts they've determined for themselves. You'll see private show rates from as low as $1.20 a minute. They can set their rate as high as $20.00 a minute, but we never saw anyone asking for that much. The average is around $5.00 a minute.

A performer can choose to offer their show as a Fixed Rate and/or as a Per-Minute Rate. To have a Fixed Rate, where they sell fixed blocks of time, they will set up to 3 durations of time for a set cost. Their Per-Minute Rate will show the number of tokens it'll cost for private chat by the minute. If permission to activate your camera in Cam2Cam mode is granted by the performer, it comes with no additional charge. The cost is included in the private chat rate. If the Spying option is available, you'll see the price when you go to enter the ongoing show.

If you purchase a block of time, you'll have the option to extend the session as your time winds down. When your time is about to expire, you'll be prompted to purchase an additional block of time. This can be done an unlimited number of times, as long as the performer agrees. If you are running low on tokens, it's possible to purchase additional tokens at any time the show is running.

And, during the free public chat, where the girl is performing for tips, you'll see a range of tip amounts required for certain actions. There are no set tip amounts for actions performed across all performers on the site. Each girl makes her own menu options of the actions she will perform, and chooses the tip amount each action will cost.

Notable things we learned along the way-

1. Members who are also broadcasters can promote themselves in other chat rooms. In the chat box, go to the Users list. You'll see a list of everyone currently watching the same show as you. If the user has a camera icon next to their name, click their name and a new chat window opens into their active cam room. You can also send them a message, add them to your Friends list, or add a note for your eyes only.
2. Get 50 bonus tokens on your first purchase, when you buy the 100, 250, or a 500 tokens package. 100 gets you 150 ($0.13/token). 250 gets you 300 ($0.15/token). 500 gets you 550 ($0.15/token). Note: All the prices we've mentioned in our Cam4 webcams review are based on a regular $0.20/token purchase price. For a full listing of top deals, we've compiled a list of the best sex cam sign up bonuses.
3. Using PayPal gets you exactly 10% less tokens per package. PayPal gets the same 50 bonus tokens when you purchase their 90, 225, or 450 tokens package.
4. Only the cam rooms broadcasting in HD720p provide the choice adjust the streaming rate. The option will appear in the video player itself. If you find an HD chat room that you must see, and your connection is too slow for their HD streams, you can choose to lower the rate or set it to 'Auto'. If true high definition webcams are what you're looking for, please read our latest article on today's best HD sex cam sites.
5. C4Chat app keeps you connected while you are mobile. The performers and members alike, are using the Cam4 proprietary mobile application to stay connected to Friends, Favorites, and Fans. When you activate the app, all your contacts from the site are automatically added. The app makes it easy to send video, and pictures directly from your device. Create groups of contacts according to your own preferences. Use the notification settings to alert you when your favorite cam girls come online. Currently the C4Chat app is only available for Android devices.
6. Gold Cam4 membership is a worthwhile move. Upgrading your membership immediately changes the way you watch, chat, and/or broadcast. If you grow to become a fan of Cam4, you'll eventually want to make this upgrade. So, why wait? Do it now right away and start enjoying the benefits.

Here, we've worked to provide you with a complete guide to understanding all there is on offer at Cam4. This truly is a site unlike any other.
