Common questions, answered plainly.
Everything you need to know about launching and operating a Miricam platform: business models, payment processing, compliance, customisation, and getting started.
What is Miricam?
What is Miricam and who is it for?
Miricam is a complete, production-ready cam platform for operators who want to launch and run their own independent adult streaming business. You get full ownership of your users, performers, content, data, and revenue streams.
Unlike white-label arrangements where you are dependent on a third-party brand, Miricam gives you a complete platform installed on managed infrastructure under your own domain. You set your own policies, control your own pricing, and own all of the business assets.
What makes Miricam different from other platforms?
Per-second billing. Most platforms round sessions to the nearest minute. Miricam bills per second, capturing the full session duration and typically increasing earnings 10 to 15 percent.
MBASE Syndication. Optionally populate your platform with performers from the MBASE partner network from day one, rather than launching with an empty roster.
Model referral system. Built-in referral tracking lets performers recruit other performers at commission rates you configure.
What hosting or technical requirements do I need?
Miricam is fully hosted. We manage the servers, infrastructure, streaming, and software updates. You do not need to purchase servers, manage databases, configure CDNs, or handle security patches.
You need a domain name. We handle everything else. The platform runs on enterprise-grade infrastructure with redundancy and uptime monitoring.
How quickly can I launch?
Most sites are live within 5 business days of placing an order. The process covers account creation, domain configuration, payment processor setup, branding, and a full admin panel walkthrough.
Technical setup takes 1 to 3 days. Building an active performer and viewer base takes longer and should be factored into your planning from the start.
What support and training is included?
All Miricam licences include initial setup support, a full admin panel walkthrough, technical support via email and chat, automatic software updates, and complete documentation.
Business management and kickstart support is available for operators who want more hands-on assistance during launch. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
How can I operate my platform?
What operating modes does Miricam support?
Chat Only. Traditional cam site with free public rooms, group shows, and one-on-one private sessions billed per second.
Voyeur Life. 24/7 lifestyle streaming where members pay a monthly subscription to watch performers' daily routines. No scheduled performances required.
Hybrid. All features from both modes combined. Models can perform scheduled shows and stream continuously. Maximum revenue diversification.
Modes are switchable at any time from the admin panel.
What revenue streams are available?
- Pay-per-second private shows. The core revenue model. Members purchase credits and spend them in real time.
- Tipping. Members tip performers during free or group shows.
- Fan Club subscriptions. Monthly recurring revenue from members who want ongoing access and exclusive content.
- Group shows. Multiple members pay per-minute together for a semi-private show.
- Banner advertising. Monetise site traffic with ads sold at any price you choose.
How does billing work?
Which payment processors does Miricam support?
Miricam supports NETbilling, CCBill, Epoch, MobiusPay, Segpay, Verotel, and others. An embedded processor accepting Mastercard, Visa, and JCB is available on all tiers without requiring your own merchant account.
If you already have a merchant account with a supported processor, we connect it during setup. If you are new to the industry, we can advise on the application process.
How does per-second billing work, and why does it matter?
Most platforms round private sessions to the nearest full minute, losing any partial minute at the end of each session. Miricam bills by the second, so the full duration is always captured.
On a platform generating $100,000 per month in chat revenue, per-second billing typically recovers $10,000 to $15,000 that per-minute rounding would lose. For performers, it translates directly to a 10 to 15 percent earnings increase.
How do model payouts work?
You control all payout policies: the schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly), the minimum payout threshold, and which payment methods you offer performers (wire transfer, ACH, cryptocurrency, Paxum, and others).
The platform calculates earnings automatically based on your commission rates and maintains complete transaction records. You process transfers manually through the admin panel on your chosen schedule.
What happens when a user's balance runs out during a session?
The platform monitors wallet balances in real time. When a balance falls below the cost of another billing interval, the session ends automatically and the user is notified. They can add funds and start a new session.
Detailed transaction logs are maintained for every session, giving administrators accurate records to reference in the event of a disputed charge.
Video quality and broadcasting.
What streaming technology does Miricam use?
Miricam uses WebRTC for live video delivery. WebRTC is browser-native, requires no plugins or software installation, and delivers sub-second latency between broadcaster and viewer.
Supported video quality runs from 720p through 4K, depending on the performer's camera and connection. All modern browsers are supported on desktop and mobile.
How do performers broadcast?
Performers access the broadcast interface through their browser. No software download is required. They select their camera, configure their rates and settings, and go live.
Advanced users can broadcast via OBS for greater control over video quality and scene composition. For Voyeur Life mode, RTSP IP cameras are supported for continuous 24/7 streaming. Mobile broadcasting from iOS Safari and Android Chrome is also supported.
Branding and appearance.
Can I customise the look and feel of my site?
Yes. Miricam includes 8 pre-built professional themes in light and dark variants. Each theme covers buttons, forms, cards, modals, alerts, and all other components. You choose a theme, upload your logo, and adjust colours. Changes apply immediately through the admin panel without requiring any code changes.
What themes are available?
Light themes: Default Light, Pink Passion, Ocean Blue, Emerald Green.
Dark themes: Default Dark, Red Fire, Sci-Fi Blue, Purple Haze.
All themes are mobile-responsive and tested across browsers. Individual colour variables can be adjusted beyond the pre-built palettes to match your brand precisely.
Can I create custom welcome and tour pages?
Yes. The admin panel includes a welcome and tour area where you can create single or multi-page introductory content for new visitors. Pages support custom text, images, and screenshots, and include proper SEO fields for titles and meta descriptions.
Age verification and legal requirements.
What age verification tools are built in?
Miricam includes a performer verification workflow: performers upload a government-issued ID and a verification selfie during registration. Administrators review submitted documents in the admin panel. Performers cannot broadcast until they have been approved.
The system stores documents securely and highlights birthdates that do not meet the minimum age requirement during the review process.
Who is responsible for legal compliance?
You, as the site operator, are responsible for compliance with applicable laws in your jurisdiction. This includes 18 USC 2257 record-keeping requirements if you are subject to US law, age verification requirements in jurisdictions that mandate them, GDPR and CCPA data handling, and payment processor compliance requirements.
Miricam provides tools to support compliance workflows, but legal compliance is the operator's responsibility. We recommend speaking with a solicitor familiar with adult industry compliance before launching.
Analytics, discovery, and marketing.
What analytics and reporting are available?
The LaunchPad dashboard includes revenue reports by source with time-period filters, user analytics covering active registrations and spending patterns, performer performance metrics, complete transaction logs, referral tracking, and a signup-to-purchase conversion funnel.
GA4 integration is built in. AutoSEO integration is available for keyword tracking, Search Console data, and SEO optimisation tooling.
How does the model referral system work?
When enabled, each performer receives a unique referral link and QR code they can share to recruit other performers. When a recruited performer earns, a commission is automatically calculated and credited at the rate you configure. You control the commission percentage, the payout schedule, and whether the feature is active at all.
MBASE Syndication is a separate option that lets you access performers from partner sites in the network while building your own native roster.
How does the Fan Club feature work?
Performers can offer monthly subscriptions at prices they set, typically $5 to $50 per month. Subscribers get exclusive content access, a special badge in chat, and any other perks the performer offers. Subscriptions renew automatically each month.
You set the commission rate on fan club subscription revenue. The feature creates predictable recurring income for both performers and the platform alongside session-based earnings.
How do followers and notifications work?
Members can follow performers they enjoy. When a followed performer goes live, followers receive an in-app notification and, optionally, an email alert. Follower counts display on performer profiles as social proof. You can customise the notification email templates and control whether follower lists are public.
How do profile tags and search work?
You create and manage the available tags from the admin panel. Performers select applicable tags covering appearance, interests, and content categories. Members can browse or filter performers by tag, and performers can hold multiple tags to appear in multiple filtered views.
Tags support niche categories including MILF, BBW, BDSM, cosplay, couples, trans, and fetish content.
What marketing integrations are included?
Miricam includes Twitter auto-posting when performers go live, customisable automated email templates, GA4 integration, SEO-optimised custom tour pages, and referral link tracking.
AutoSEO integration is available as a separate product and provides AI-powered keyword analysis, Google Search Console data, and recommendations for improving organic search visibility.
Can users watch without creating an account?
You control guest access. Options include allowing guests to view free chat rooms without registering, requiring account creation before viewing any content, or requiring wallet funding before accessing paid features.
Most operators allow guests to view public rooms to drive signup conversions, then require registration for any interaction.
How do I launch?
What does the launch process look like?
After placing your order we provision your platform, configure your domain and SSL, connect your payment processor, and walk through the admin panel with you. You upload your branding, set commission rates and policies, and recruit your first performers.
- Contact us to discuss your requirements and place your order.
- Provide your domain. We configure DNS and SSL.
- We create your admin account and walk you through the platform.
- You upload branding, set your operating mode, and configure payment settings.
- Recruit and approve your first performers.
- Go live.
Technical setup takes 1 to 3 days. Most sites are live and taking payments within 5 business days of ordering.
What should I think through before launching?
- Do you have a specific niche or audience in mind? A defined niche gives you a more actionable recruitment and marketing strategy than competing on all fronts from the start.
- Do you have performer relationships, or a realistic plan for recruitment? The technology is straightforward. An empty platform earns nothing.
- Can you cover 12 months of operating costs without depending on platform revenue? Building an active audience takes time.
- Are you prepared to handle performer support, payment disputes, and compliance administration? Running a platform involves more operational work than participating in one.
How much does Miricam cost?
The Starter licence begins at $2,100, paid as two equal instalments: the first on order, the second on installation. An ongoing monthly fee covers hosting, the software licence, and support.
Revenue share and hybrid arrangements are available for operators whose situation does not suit a standard licence. Contact us to discuss the option that fits your plans.
