Sharing a Sikocam Camera with Family: Access Done Right

Share camera access through the Sikocam app without sharing your password: inviting family, choosing what they can do and reviewing access.

Sharing a Sikocam Camera with Family: Access Done Right

A camera watching a home usually serves a household, not a person. Sharing through siko cam lets each family member use their own sign in, which beats the shared password on a sticky note in every way that matters.

Invite people, never passwords

Use the app's sharing flow to invite each person by their own account. They get the cameras you choose; you keep the account. When someone no longer needs access, a lodger, a sitter, a grown child's old phone, you remove that one invite instead of changing a password on every device in the house.

Keep going with privacy and password settings once this part is done; the two steps belong together in practice.

Choose cameras per person

Share by camera, not by account. The neighbour feeding the cat needs the hall camera for a week, not the nursery. The grandparents may want the garden camera and nothing else. Small, specific shares are the whole point of doing this properly.

A five minute review routine

Twice a year, open the sharing list and read it like a guest list for your house. Remove anyone you do not recognise instantly. It takes five minutes, and it is the cheapest security upgrade a camera system has.

Quick Answers

Can shared family members change settings?

Sharing is aimed at viewing. Account level changes stay with the account owner.

How do I stop someone's access?

Open the sharing list for that camera and remove their invite. It takes effect straight away.

Can I share with someone in another home?

Yes. An invite works wherever they are; they watch over the internet like you do away from home.

Does sharing cost anything?

Sharing access through the app is part of normal use with your cameras.
