SmartPull Streaming is now live!

Less Glitch. More Wag.

Because watching a pixelated pug isn’t nearly as cute as the real thing. SmartPull Streaming keeps your streams smooth and tail-waggingly good.

Our new SmartPull Streaming feature only pulls video from your webcams when someone is actually watching. That means if you’ve got multiple cameras—like in a pet resort, kennel, or any high-traffic setup—you’re no longer wasting bandwidth streaming video when no one is viewing. SmartPull Streaming is FREE for all Brownrice webcam hosting plans.

No viewers? No stream. It’s that simple.
As soon as someone presses play, SmartPull kicks in, starts the feed, and keeps it going for 10 extra minutes after the last viewer leaves—just in case more eyeballs show up.

Cutting down bandwidth? Just another day at the dog park for SmartPull.
Less network congestion, faster internet speeds, and a better experience for everyone—with fewer clicks than a cat walking across your keyboard.

Think of it as one more treat in your tech toy box.
