The Eyconix system is designed for two online connections. Your connection and the inmate connection. The system is NOT designed for conference calling. If you are logged into your account, then that access counts as one connection. If two people are logged into the same account at the same time, the jail computer will not connect.
The first two cameras connect on the system regardless of where they are located.
Each user is to have their own specific user account. Violations of that rule is grounds for suspension of service.
If everyone is in the same room using one computer, then multiple people can be on the visit. They must be in the same location for that to apply. If more than one person is in the same room during the visit, there still must be NO restraining order between any party and the inmates.
The Eyconix software application requires Adobe Flash Player. iPads and iPods do not support Adobe Flash Player, therefore you are not able to use these items for your visit.
If you are using a table that is Windows based, the visit will connect if you are NOT using a mobile platform. If you have concerns, you may schedule a test visit with a member of the Eyconix team in advance. This is by appointment only.
Simply click on the image and it will automatically reverse itself.
Thank you for your order. Once payment has been received, you will receive a copy of your invoice. On the day of your scheduled visit, log back into the site with your user name and password. You will see a box that is called "Next Visit" and the information on your visit will be underneath it. Approximately 5 minutes before your visit is to start, you can enter the visit. Just wait patiently for your inmate to arrive. They will enter the visit by clicking a START button on the screen inside the jail.
This image is from Adobe and requires you to allow the video to begin. This will turn your webcam on and allow the inmate to see you. The reason this box appears is so that your computer doesn't turn on your video without your knowledge. This is for your protection. Please make sure to click allow in order for the video system to work.
Our refund policy is very strict. If you and your inmate connect via video, then the visit is considered valid. In the event, that the detention facility terminates the visit due to a breech of the terms of use, the visit will NOT be refunded. If the detention facility terminates the visit due to security issues outside the control of the parties on the video conference, Eyconix, LLC will be notified of this termination. Eyconix, LLC will offer to reschedule the visit at another time without any additional costs. In the event that the visitor who scheduled the visit with an inmate forgets or misses the appointment, the visit will NOT be refunded. Eyconix, LLC is happy to provide reminder texts and emails in advance of the scheduled visitation.
There are a few reasons why you might become disconnected.
1. Violation of the rules or terms of use - if this is the reason, the visit is non refundable.
2. Jail security issues - if the jail terminates the visit for security reasons, the visit may be rescheduled at no additional cost.
3. Internet problems - if this is due to the connection with the family or friend, then the visit will not be refunded. It is important to ensure that your internet connection is consistent prior to participating on a call.
A list of inmates can be found here.
Cost depends on your location. Check your local detention facility web portal for pricing.
You and the inmate will be doing a video chat on your computer over the internet. It is very simple to use. Just make sure that you are at a computer with a webcam and a microphone at your scheduled appointment time.
Video visitation is a new form of communication used between inmates and their visitors. Visitors do not have to leave their home or offices to participate in a visit with an inmate.
This visit occurs on your computer over the internet. All visits must be scheduled in advanced to ensure that the inmate is available.
