Complete overview of cams

Introduction

Sure, its generic name isn’t very original, but cams.com is clearly positioned as a heavyweight in the sector. With nearly 700 girls online at any given time, the site has become a must-see. The girls online are generally breathtakingly beautiful model types. They are mostly from Eastern European countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Poland, Ukraine etc.) although we also note the marginal presence of English-speaking models from United States, Canada, the UK and Australia.

Many shows are offered (exclusive private, party chat which is non-exclusive private, tip participation show, voyeur mode, or nude chat) and some activities like “buzzmode” are rather innovative. In fact, for a few cents in tips and by using your mouse you can control a sex toy placed inside the model’s panties to give her pleasure. Note that you can also activate your webcam in free chat for only $0.99. For exhibitionists who enjoy revealing themselves to models for a low price, it’s a very good plan.

The average rate for an exclusive private show is €2.99 but it is possible to reduce the price to €1.99 by joining your favourite model’s fan club for only a few dollars. So for every $50 spent on a girl you will save $15 thanks to this tip, which will help you save substantially over the long term.

Lastly, the webcam video quality is overall very good, as HD is the norm. Some models’ images lack a little sharpness, which might be a camera focus problem inadequate resolution.



Site Navigation

Site navigation is simple and well thought-out. The sleek design makes a very positive first impression. Cam thumbnails are average size, and the display is actually very classy. We would have appreciated being able to change the display mode to gallery or mosaic mode, or to increase the size of the webcam previews, but this isn’t currently possible.

The main menu on the left displays the main categories with the number of girls available for each of them. At the time of this review, 173 models with large breasts were online and no less than 109 live students. You can make the horizontal menu disappear by clicking on it, which automatically increases the image size because of the space gained.

The advanced search provides a greater number of selection options like eye or hair colour, additional age ranges with a milf category or 26 to 30 year olds, fetish categories like domination, pulling hair, spanking and other. There are some additional perverse attributes like piercings, or smoking.

The signage is very clear, and the shows are well identified with colour coding. For example, the tip shows have an orange label, and private shows in progress have blue labels.



The Girls


The girls on the site are very young. According to the stats, 56% of them are less than 25 years old, and most come from Eastern European countries. The most common countries are Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Poland, Russia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

Only 13% of the women are over 40, which is about 70 mature women. Although the typical profile of a hostess is closer to a beautiful young Russian woman than an old bag, some of the mature women are just as attractive as the young ladies and are truly worth it.

A few dozen English girls from the USA, Canada, and the UK are also online but this is a small proportion (10% of the hostesses, or 60 girls). This doesn’t stop the site from being popular with English customers.

If you look a little harder you’ll also find some girls from Western Europe, especially Germans and Spaniards, about 30 girls on average. We would have liked to have found actual French girls, but unfortunately there wasn’t a single one. You have to settle with girls who speak little French.

Columbians are almost the only representatives from Central and South America (50 girls are online, on average). There was also one Brazilian and one Panamanian.

Most of the Asian girls are Pilipino, and there are always several dozen of them at any given time. From time to time you might find Chinese, Thai, Korean or Japanese, but they are visible only anecdotally.



Video Chat


It indicates that all of the girls are shown in HD but in reality, they don’t all deserve this designation. The HD indicator certainly helps sell, but to grant it to everyone is unfair to those who truly deserve it. The low resolution of some hostesses’ webcams results in an obvious lack of sharpness. The frame rate is also not always adequate; I noticed a bit of jerkiness during quick movements when they stand up, come back or move suddenly.

There are many screen resolutions available to display the webcams: small screen (560x370), medium (660x480), or full screen. We would have appreciated larger sizes like 860x625 for large-sized computer monitors. A final option is to automatically adjust to your browser, which overcomes the problem and provides optimal viewing regardless of your screen resolution.

When buzzmode is activated, the sex toy inserted in her panties or vagina will respond whenever you click anywhere inside the image to pleasure her, from only 0.10 per click. This is an effective way for customers to interact with the model. Who wouldn’t want to make a woman cum with a simple click? Now you can.

Use the tips and gifts buttons to please a model or to reward her for performing a specific act (tease, nudity, flash boobs, etc.). The price for virtual gifts ranges from $2 (balloons, coffee, ice) to $1000 (G-string and golden wings). Gifts priced somewhere in the middle are offered, such as a bouquet of flowers for $20, a dildo for $50, or jewellery for $100. There is something for every budget.

To become a model’s new “Top Admirer”, give her a virtual gift for the minimum amount displayed in the chat window. You will get special benefits like having a special icon beside your username in the chat to let the model and other members know that you are her top admirer, getting free access to her private photos, the ability to send and receive unlimited messages with her, and free access to all of her recorded shows.

Something even more rare is that you can activate your webcam in free chat and show yourself to the model for the modest sum of $0.99. Usually you can only activate your cam in private one-on-one mode. This is a fun feature that will please all the guys who are exhibitionists and who like to reveal their faces, bodies or cocks.



The Shows

There is a wide variety of shows offered, with various pros and cons that I’ll described below.

- The exclusive private show is the Cadillac of the shows available. You are one-on-one with the hostess; she dedicates herself to you and your desires and devotes all of her attention to you. Other members are unable to join you as you have exclusivity. This is the most expensive and the most prized kind of show, usually at a cost of at least $2.49 per minute.

- In party chat, you can have fun with the hostess along with other members who can come and go at any time. The hostess may decide how the show will run and perform member requests to be good-natured. The rate is usually 10 to 20% less expensive than exclusive mode.

- In voyeur mode you can spy on another client’s private show, but without sound. You’re able to see everything that is going on and everything the hostess is doing, but are unable to hear her speak. We’re disappointed that the sound is deactivated in this mode, as the voyeur experience would be better otherwise, even though we understand the site’s intention to protect the confidentiality of conversations between the customer and the model.

- In tip mode, you can enter into the chat room in which the show takes place but the image is blurred and only the sound is audible. To see the show, you must tip the requested amount, usually $2 or $3. If you can have fun without breaking the bank, why not go for it?

- In nude chat, as its name indicates, you can join hostesses who are already nude. If you don’t want to waste time and go straight to the heart of the action, then nude chat is your best option.

Each model’s sexual preferences are indicated in their profiles in the “What I like”, fetishes and perverse attributes sections. Some also use images to illustrate what they offer in private such as using butt plugs, nude body oil, double penetration, foot job, etc. More rarely, extra services are possible like being able to purchase the G-string/panties she’s wearing or talking on the phone during the exclusive private show.



Member Account

From your member account you can monitor details of your activity on the site: a history of the girls you’ve recently interacted with, details about all of your purchases and credits, a list of all the fan clubs in which you are a member, and models to whom you have publically offered tips and virtual gifts over the past 30 days.

Get familiar with the models by adding photos of yourself to your profile. I can be a portrait, a photo, or any part of your body. This way your favourite models, the ones for which you are a member of their fan club, and those you have seen in private or erotic streaming may see your photos.

To improve your user experience, upgrade your account to Premier or VIP membership.

- Premier Member status gives you a 10% discount off of all live shows (Private Chat, Nude and Party Chat), as well as a choice of 5 free pre-recorded shows per month. With Premier Member status, you will easily get the girls’ attention.

- Remove the account limits and become a VIP member for free. All you need to do is simply upload a copy of a piece of ID so that your account can be verified. You will then have unlimited daily spending and 5% of the amount of all your purchases will be added to your account. You will also 6 months of Premier status for free, along with 25 free recorded shows.

There is an impressive archive of pre-recorded streaming shows in the members’ area. Hundreds of new videos are added every day, and nearly 5400 pages of videos are viewable. The number of views, member ratings, sort options, and feedback will help you find the most interesting content.



Rates and Payment Methods

The site provides $15 worth of credits to new members. It would be stupid to not take advantage of it if you haven’t yet tried this live webcam site that I strongly recommend.

Rates for exclusive private shows begin at 2.49 and may climb to 3.99 in some cases. Each girl sets her rates as she wishes, hence the price disparity. A good way to reduce the cost is by joining your favourite model’s fan club. You will also get huge discounts off of the exclusive private rate. A 20% to 70% discount off the rate is not uncommon in addition to access to the model’s private video archives.

The party chat and nude chat are a little less expensive than exclusive shows but the price difference is insignificant, usually as much as 10% or 20% less. In both modes other members may join you. Being in a group can also be enjoyable. And it is ideal for shy people who don’t want to be one-on-one with the hostess in private, worried about having nothing to say.

The average rate for voyeur mode is 1.99 per minute. It is affordable, but without any sound this kind of show wouldn’t be very interesting as you can only see the image.

Cost-wise, the tip to view mode is hard to beat as you pay only $2 or $3 to watch a show…this is truly a low cost. When you enter this kind of show the image on the screen will be blurred and you have to give a tip for the requested amount (usually $2 or $3) to watch and participate in the show.

Joining a model’s fan club costs 12.99 per month. The main benefit is that you’ll receive huge discounts on private rates (up to a 70% discount). In addition, you will get access to all the hostess’ recorded shows and private photos.

There are three payment methods available: credit card (recommended), ClickandBuy (third party payment processor) and bitcoins (cryptocurrency). The minimum order amount is only $10.
