When Stamped Shipping opened its doors in Park Slope, Brooklyn, great security wasn’t just a nice-to-have. As a new independent shipping store handling packages for carriers like UPS and FedEx, they needed reliable video coverage to track transactions, comply with storage requirements, and protect their freshly built storefront.
“We didn’t come from a commercial background,” said co-founder Justin Joseph. “We just needed something simple, functional, and fast. No electricians, no servers, no mess.”
Most systems felt oversized or locked behind proprietary hardware. Others were overly technical. The team needed something lightweight that worked right out of the box.
After browsing Reddit and researching vendors, Coram stood out for its plug-and-play setup and the flexibility to work with any PoE camera.
“It was clearly built for everyday users,” said Justin. “We set up the server, plugged it into the router, added cameras, and that was it.”
Installation was fully DIY. The system ran smoothly from day one, and they were able to adjust quality settings over time to match their internet bandwidth. Remote access from any device was also a major benefit.
With no previous commercial system to compare to, the Coram experience set a high bar. One camera failure tested support – but Coram delivered.
“The AI chatbot wasn’t that helpful, but once I got a real person, they shipped a replacement right away. That part was flawless.”
The system has continued to improve over time. “It’s simple, but it works better than we expected. No complaints.”

As Stamped Shipping grows into the neighborhood, Coram will remain a foundational part of their operations. The system gives them peace of mind and room to scale without complexity.
“Absolutely,” said Justin. “Coram is simple, effective, and made for teams like ours. It just works.”
