Overview

The history of Cam 4 started in 2007, when the service first went live. At that time, there was already stiff competition in the adult cam world, but Cam4 managed to get recognition thanks to its vast selection of models, who are mostly original and only work for Cam 4, as well as understated and modern look.

When you are looking for your ideal live sex site, Cam4.com is nearly impossible to miss. However, many first-time Cam 4 viewers are left disappointed by their experience and end up looking for a Cam4 alternative. We at SexCamRadar wanted to take a fair and impartial look on the service, and here is our Cam4 review.

How It Works

Here at SexCamRadar.com, we want you to have a not only satisfying, but also comfortable adult webcam experience, so here is what you can look forward to from your time on Cam4.com.

Signing up at Cam4

Creating an account on Cam 4 is not mandatory if you just want to take a look at the site, but if you plan to watch Cam4 live shows and participate in the Cam4 chat, you will need to become a member of the site. Luckily, signing up for Cam4.com takes only a few minutes of your time. Once you enter your email and username, as well as set your password, you can begin browsing the live performances and other features of Cam 4.

Interface

Even as a new Cam4 user, you don’t need to spend hours trying to learn every nook and cranny of Cam4.com, as everything you may need is located right there on the home page. You can see all live shows in the middle of the page. There is an option to narrow down the selection of Cam4 live webcam broadcasts by choosing one of the four categories:

• Female cams
• Male cams
• Couple cams
• Trans cams

You can also use the tags and filters, which can be found above the list of broadcasts, to find specific things you may be looking for on Cam4, including different ethnicities, age groups, body types, kinks, and other important aspects of live sex performances. 

Using the menu on the top, you can review or change your profile, add tokens to your account, upgrade to a Gold membership, visit a related dating or porn game site, and check out other Cam4 features: fan clubs, trends, and awards.

Model profiles

As soon as you have chosen the show you want to watch, you can open the Cam4 webcams to see what’s going on there. There are no animated show previews on Cam 4 and you can only see a recent screenshot, which means you will need to see the performance in order to experience it to the fullest.

While working on our Cam4 review, we found that the live public shows on Cam4 have a simple design, where the page is divided between the webcam broadcast itself and the chat, where the model can communicate with the users. In any public free show, you can go for a private show with the model, tip her if you are enjoying the performance, join the fan club to get exclusive media and other perks, or send her a virtual gift. 

Each model also has an extended profile, which can be found at the bottom of the page. Here you can find out more about her stats and views, and access her pre-recorded videos and photos if you want to get more from your favorite performer. Keep in mind that those additional photos and videos, as well as fan club content, are available for an extra price.

Audience

We were pretty satisfied with the overall number and variety of performers on Cam4: there are lots of female and male cams, although the number of couple and trans Cam4 webcams can differ based on the time of your visit. However, by default, you will only be shown broadcasts from young and traditionally attractive performers: if your tastes venture beyond that, you will need to go deep into the filters and tags to discover what you are really into. We had the impression that most of the models on Cam4.com are from Latin America, with smaller percentages of the performers being from the US, Western Europe, and Russia.

Pricing

On Cam4, there are plenty of ways to spend your money. You can pay for private shows, send tips to models, access their additional media, and give them virtual gifts. For all of that, you will need the Cam4.com in-site currency in the form of tokens. Tokens, which can be bought in packages ranging from around $10 to over $150, are meant to enhance your Cam 4 experience, but since models are free to choose their own private show and media purchase rates, you can run out of tokens sooner than you expect.

There is also a Gold membership available on Cam4.com for $19.99 per month, but other than an ad-free interface, private messaging with the model, and 50 bonus tokens with your purchase, the membership does not offer any sizable advantages.

Safety

At first glance, Cam 4 looks like a safe webcam site with numerous safety features both for the viewers and the performers. The site uses SSL encryption to protect the data of its customers and there are lots of options for using the site anonymously, although they are only available to paying users. 

We liked the presence of a long FAQ section on the site that can answer most of the questions you may have about Cam4. However, we were disappointed to see that non-Gold members of Cam4.com can only contact customer support through the form on the site — in our experience, it can take the customer service team a long time to respond to those inquiries.

Summary

Cam4 may initially attract you with its impressive number of free live sex shows, but its paid content is both too expensive and not particularly satisfying. The design of the site is also not that impressive, and while the number of models may seem high at first, you quickly realize it’s not as diverse as it looks.

FAQ

What is Cam4?

Cam4 is an adult entertainment site that broadcasts live webcam sex shows 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Cam 4 has male, couple, and trans performers, although female cams are, unsurprisingly, the site’s biggest category of live shows.

Is Cam4 safe?

At the moment, there is no evidence that Cam 4 is not a safe webcam site. All pages of Cam4.com are securely encrypted to protect the data of the customers and there is a detailed FAQ section on the site. However, we would like to see Cam4 introduce more ways to contact customer support.

How much does Cam4 cost?

The Gold membership on Cam 4 costs $19.99 per month and comes with a bonus 50 tokens. You can also buy tokens in packages that will set you back $9.95 to $159.99, depending on the package. Each performer sets their own prices for private shows.

Is Cam4 a scam?

No, Cam4 does not display any usual signs of a scam, as most of the money you pay on the site go directly to the performer for a live private show. However, we find the membership system on Cam 4 to be unnecessarily expensive and lacking significant perks for the viewer.

Can I use Cam4 for free?

There are dozens of shows you can watch for free on Cam 4 any time you visit the site. However, you should be aware that even in free public shows, the models still expect to make money through tips and gifts, so they may not be as attentive to non-paying users as they are to members who spend money.

Does Cam4 have a mobile app?

There is a Cam 4 mobile app, but it is only designed for the site’s performers to allow them broadcast shows when they are away from the computer. Cam4 users can only access the mobile version of the Cam4.com website, which has most of the features of the desktop version.

Are there any sites like Cam4?

Cam 4 does have some unique features and many original performers, but it’s in no way a unique webcam site and there are plenty of sites like Cam4.
