Adult Cam Sites Guide

There are a lot of adult cam sites out there. This is both a good and bad thing for customers. The good part is that this gives customers or chatters a lot of choices. One can now choose from a lot of genres and categories whether it be by model ethnicity, gender, age, tit size, dick size, color etc. The bad thing is it makes it more difficult to choose which site is the best.

So how can one really choose which one is good and gives the most value out of the money the customer spends? This guide will show you some information in making an educated choice on the right adult sex chat site.

There are two kinds of adult and non adult webcam chat sites out there. One is the paid sites and one is the free ones. We will deal with the paid sites more in this article. There are several factors to consider in judging whether a cam site is good or not.


Cam Quality

Perhaps one of the most basic but most important factor is cam quality. Cam quality depends on some factors. One of these factors is the software or technology used for streaming the webcam images. The most prefered streaming technology by adult cam website owners today is flash. It works by embedding the chat and webcam applet in flash and works in conjunction with a streaming server called flash media server on the back end. It basically works by having the server broadcast webcam streams from the model's webcam to a flash window embedded in a webpage which are then viewable by the viewers of the website or the chatters. We'll discuss more on this webcam streaming technology in another article. In terms of quality, this method is one of the best if not the best. Based on our experience the cam image is clearer and sharper than others using other software. The video is very smooth and fluid and has minimal delay from the realtime live stream. But then again this is still dependent on some factors like the quality of the webcam used by the model and the speed of the internet connection of both the webcam model and the viewer of the webcam. Based on our studies, chatters are more satisfied with flash webcam streaming then any other methods of webcam streaming used by adult cam sites.

Another method used by adult cam site owners is java. The concept is the same but this time jpeg images are uploaded to the server by the model's webcam. The server in turn broadcast these images in a continuous progression to a java applet embedded on a webpage and display what seems like a video stream to the viewer. The quality of this kind of broadcast used by webcam site owners is better than average too but unlike the flash one, the quality suffers from loss in image quality due to the compression of the images when being uploaded by the model's cam. Frame rate is also not as impressive as the flash version. Still, this technology is being widely used today by a lot of adult cam websites due to its track record and stability as it has existed longer than the flash version.

How do you know if a cam site uses flash or java? Its easy. Just right click on the webcam chat applet. If it shows the usual flash sub menus, it is made in flash. If not, then it might be java. 

Cam Speed

Cam speed is also an important criteria when choosing a good adult cam site. And like cam quality, it is also affected largely by the webcam broadcasting software used by the site. Flash adult cam sites are generally more speedy and fluid than java based cam sites. Again this depends too on your internet connection and the model's.


Model Appearance

This is relative as all of us differ in taste when it comes to appearance. Some prefer whites, some like asians, some would go for the exotic. So you should really take your time to browse each site and get a feel of what the models look like in each cam site. Sometimes too, it is not enough to just look at their picture. To get a real good picture of what a model looks like, you should view her webcam. She might just turn out a lot better or worse  looking than what you see on their profile or thumb pics.


Performance by Models During Live Shows

One other thing that dictates why one should stick to a certain adult live sex site is the quality of performance by the models, which largely affects user interest and the level of satisfaction. Some cam sites provide some kind of training to their models before they start going live on the site. You should look out for those sites that trains models to be polite, considerate and honest to the customers. Sometimes, during free chat, models promise many things they can do on their show and it turns out they dont do it during the actual paid show. This is a real sucker to the point of view of the customer as each minute is being paid. You should first of all state what you want the model to do before going to paid chat. And then as soon as the show starts, make sure the model starts immediately on what was agreed to be done. You can almost always detect if the model is trying to fool around just to extend the paid chat time. When a webcam model you are chatting with always types some nonsense during the show then she might be fucking around with you. If you experience this problem, you can always report to the website administrators. Look for the support pages of the cam site for information on how to contact the webmasters.

Model's Per Minute Rate

You should check out the paid chat rates of a certain adult cam site before purchasing credits and going into a paid chat session. Nowadays adult cam sites per minute price ranges from 0.49 to 5.99 per minute for paid chat and nude chat sessions. Some adult cam sites also adopt the subscription model. It is where you sign up for a certain flat amount and you can access anything on the members area like model recorded cam shows, nude pictures of the models and other features.

Adult Cam Site Features

It is important to assess the features a certain cam site offers. Some of the features you should consider are: two way cam to cam, full screen cams feature, audio, free model recorded shows, the ability to save favorites, smilies, discounts (eg on higher credits purchases), messaging features (eg the ability to send instant messages to offline models), themes, different payment options etc. We will discuss these in another article.


Popularity

One of the things you should consider when choosing an adult cam site is the popularity of a cam site. This is based on the fact that the older sites are sometimes the most popular. And when they are popular, it goes to show in a way how good they are as a cam site. One of the basis on finding out how popular a site is is their individual search engine rankings. You can search on google or on any of the major search engines these search terms: "adult cam sites", "popular adult cam sites", "live sex sites" and other relevant keywords associated with adult cam sites.


Track Record

You should research the track record of a cam site if you want to be satisfied with your experience with them. If its your first time, its good to hang out on forums that discuss cam sites. You can often find valuable information that are often based on actual user experience on the particular cam site.  

Level of Support 

If you want to be totally satisfied from your live sex experience from a cam site, make sure that later on they could provide you with some support. Although this is only necessary if problems arise, it pays to know that you get what you pay for. And it is important to check out how good a site is in handling support. You might accidentally lose some credits for no reason at all during a paid chat, or you might feel cheated because a certain performer didnt do what you told her during a show. During such times, it is good if you get instantaneous support from the cam site's support team. To find out or at least have an idea how good a certain adult cam site is in terms of support, send them a test email asking some questions about their site or some of its features. If you get a reply, then its a good sign. If not, then you might try to consider trying out other live cam sites.
