Play back video and score behavior from anywhere

Record or upload video: Record video with a mobile device running the BehaviorCloud Camera app or upload existing video to your BehaviorCloud account.
Configure custom behaviors: Enter the behaviors to score and assign each one a keyboard shortcut. Behaviors can be timed events (e.g., walking) or instantaneous events (e.g., fecal boli).
Score behavior from anywhere: Access your videos on the web on any device through your BehaviorCloud account. Play back videos, key behaviors, and review/edit your scoring. Automatically generate variables like duration, latency, count, and event interval.

Complex or custom behaviors

Complex behavior analysis: Complex behavior analysis Record video and analyze complex behaviors, including social interactions, maternal behavior, and aggression. Great for animal or human behavior observation.
Inter-rater reliability: Invite collaborators to contribute to an experiment. Get more reliable data in less time. You control access and permissions.
Remote observations: Observe behavior remotely by streaming video to your account with the BehaviorCloud Camera app. Check in on your subjects by logging in to your account from anywhere there is internet access and record video as needed - all without traveling to the lab.
