Soracom to Exhibit Cloud Camera Service "Soracame" at Japan's Largest Education Exhibition "EDIX Tokyo 2026"

Soracom, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Ken Tamagawa) announced that it will exhibit at "EDIX (Education Expo) Tokyo" (organized by the EDIX Executive Committee, planned and operated by RX Japan Ltd.), to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from Wednesday, May 13 to Friday, May 15, 2026. EDIX is Japan's largest exhibition for those involved in education, including schools, educational institutions, and corporate HR/training departments. The "Child Sexual Violence Prevention Act" (Act on Measures for Prevention of Child Sexual Violence, etc., by School Establishers and Private Education and Childcare Providers), enacted in June 2024, will come into effect on December 25, 2026. This law requires the visualization of in-facility environments and the strengthening of safety management systems from the perspective of ensuring child safety and establishing appropriate operational structures. The guidelines emphasize the importance of creating an environment where blind spots and enclosed spaces within facilities are reduced, and situations can be appropriately monitored and recorded. However, many childcare facilities face challenges such as "existing cameras having many blind spots," "insufficient recording capacity leading to loss of necessary footage," "requiring on-site visits to check recorded footage," "anxiety about explanations to parents," "complicated management of multiple facilities," and "high introduction and operation costs." "Soracame" is a cloud camera service that allows continuous recording and management of camera footage in the cloud. It can be installed without construction, requiring only power and Wi-Fi, and real-time and recorded footage can be checked anytime, anywhere from smartphones or PCs. Soracame has already been utilized in facilities such as childcare centers, developmental support facilities, cram schools, and習い事 (cultural/skill classes). There are cases where it has been introduced to supplement blind spots of existing security cameras, leading to strengthened overall monitoring systems and alleviating anxieties regarding safety management in daily operations. Its ease of installation and use have led to its widespread adoption. Four reasons why Soracame is chosen: Cloud Continuous Recording — Recorded data is automatically saved to the cloud. There is no risk of overwriting, loss, or theft, and footage can be checked immediately when needed. Data retention periods of 7 to a maximum of 90 days can be selected. Check from Anywhere with a Smartphone — Real-time viewing and checking of past data are possible from a dedicated app or browser. You can check the current and past status of the facility from anywhere on various devices. Low Cost from 990 yen (tax included) per month — Initial costs are low, with ATOM Cam 2 at 3,980 yen (tax included) per unit and ATOM Cam Swing with 360° pan/tilt function at 5,680 yen (tax included) per unit. No high initial investment is required. It can be introduced with existing Wi-Fi environments and flexibly supports everything from small nurseries to multiple facilities. Role-based Operation and Viewing Permissions — Permissions can be managed according to staff roles, such as teachers having view-only access, and only the director being able to delete cameras or change settings. This supports appropriate operational management of footage, allowing for secure operation. At the Soracom booth, demonstrations of safety management system development and video utilization required in childcare and education facilities, explanations of key points for responding to the Child Sexual Violence Prevention Act, and introductions of case studies are planned. Staff with expertise in IoT/AI utilization in childcare and education facilities will also be available for consultations, so we encourage all stakeholders involved in childcare and children's education to visit.
