From the brains behind XLoveCam comes Go.cam, an advanced age verification solution that checks many boxes for admins and others tasked with implementing an approved AV system for age-restricted apps, platforms, and websites.

An Open-Source solution with a self-hosted option, Go.cam’s methodology provides fast, secure, and privacy-focused age verification that utilizes facial recognition technology similar to Apple’s FaceID.

Based in the EU and certified by Germany’s Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media (KJM) and the UK’s Age Check Certification Scheme, Go.cam’s system is easily integrated into existing online properties. It is ideal for apps, platforms, and websites requiring robust age confirmation.

Go.cam is simple to understand and use. First, the user faces a webcam or front-facing phone camera. The system captures snapshots and uses these images to estimate the user’s age. If the user’s estimated age is at least 25, then the user will be granted access. A fallback to ID document-based age verification is performed if the user’s estimated age is under 25. This process takes around 15 seconds and is customizable to match the platform’s branding and UI requirements.

Among the advantages of Go.cam’s system is that it requires no data storage or transmission, making it compliant with ARCOM’s double anonymity recommendation. It also works directly within the user’s web browser, with no additional app required, and is mobile-optimized for a seamless user experience.

Using auditable and established Open-Source face detection and age estimation models, Go.cam supports over 190 document types from more than 30 countries. It boasts a 95.47 percent accuracy rate for an age threshold of 25 years and a Mean Absolute Error of approximately two years across critical age ranges.

Go.cam is a cost-effective solution for age verification compliance, offering many benefits for businesses requiring age verification, including enhanced security without compromising user privacy and no risk of data leaks or hacking, a process that is faster than traditional age verification methods, an improvement in user conversion and bounce rates, and support for global market expansion with multi-country ID verification and more.

Distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License (GNU AGPL), Go.cam features Open-Source advantages such as transparent and auditable code for enhanced compliance and trust, community-driven improvements, and flexible customization options for specific business needs.

Offering continuous updates to meet evolving industry standards and regulations, Go.cam complies with various age verification requirements across different market sectors, making it an ideal solution for many applications and usage models.
