CHICAGO, Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SpotMyPhotos, a
pioneer in automated private photo sharing, today announced that
they have become the first company to integrate Canon's Camera
Control Application Program Interface (CCAPI) software into their
products in the United States,
leveraging a Direct-to-Camera connection mode within their instant
photo-sharing capability. Such engineering support provided by
Canon U.S.A., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, brings together innovators in software and
hardware, opening the door to exciting new possibilities. One
significant benefit of SpotMyPhotos is the automated private
delivery of photos in as little as five seconds – a milestone for
the industry. SpotMyPhotos' technology signals a future of smarter
and more integrated camera systems and will help redefine how
camera operators capture, access and share professional-grade
photos.
"We are excited to launch the camera systems of tomorrow with
the integration of Canon's CCAPI software," said Ryan Jacobs, CEO and founder of SpotMyPhotos.
"Connecting our platform directly to the operating system of a
camera is a major step; bringing us closer to a frictionless,
photo-sharing future, where digital photos fly seamlessly to the
smartphones of those being photographed."
SpotMyPhotos previewed the CCAPI-integrated solution at CES
2019. The Direct-to-Camera mode has since been utilized by a subset
of SpotMyPhotos' photographer network and was ultimately made
available to all SpotMyPhotos users on August 1st, 2019. SpotMyPhotos uses
AI-powered, private-photo sharing technology that goes beyond
facial recognition to let your photos find you. People who opt in
to experience SpotMyPhotos will have all photographs taken of them
instantly delivered to their smartphones. Event organizers,
professional photographers and marketing agencies have used
SpotMyPhotos at thousands of events of all types across
North America, either under the
SpotMyPhotos name, or as a white labeled solution highlighting
their own brands.
"We always envisioned that the Canon Camera Control API (CCAPI)
would be integrated into products such as SpotMyPhotos when we
launched it early this year," said Scott
Antaya, vice president and general manager of Imaging
Solutions, Imaging Technologies and Communications Group, Canon
U.S.A., Inc. "We look forward to
continuing to see companies like SpotMyPhotos bring innovative
products and applications to market to meet the growing challenges
of imaging today and drive the tech industry forward."
"This is the software I have always been hoping to come across
to transfer our professional, client-branded photos onto attendees'
phones," said Lauren Lieberman, CEO
of LILA PHOTO, a Corporate Event Photography Agency located in
Palm Beach, Florida. "The
immediacy of SpotMyPhotos performs beautifully, wow-ing attendees
and offering our team unprecedented control over how we can share
images."
