LO-CAMS is part of a larger network of cameras called CAMS, "Cameras for All-sky Meteor Surveillance", which originated in California and is led by meteor astronomer Peter Jenniskens of the SETI Institute and NASA Ames Research Center.

CAMS stands apart from other modern meteor observing programs in that it uses a fly's eye approach that stitches together the results from an array of 16 cameras, rather than a single camera with a fish eye lens as is typical of other programs. This multi-camera setup results in a more precise determination of meteor positions.
