  • 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.
