Shawn-Marc Melo's deepidv Debuts Generation I deepcam at Inman Connect New York
New York in January is cold. The reception Shawn-Marc Melo and the deepidv team got at Inman Connect New York 2026? Anything but.
Shawn-Marc Melo, Founder & CEO of deepidv, led the company's debut at the real estate industry's most prestigious conference, joining thousands of agents, brokers, and proptech innovators at the New York Hilton Midtown. Inman Connect has been the front row seat to real estate innovation for 30 years — and this year, identity verification took center stage.
deepcam Generation I Makes Its Debut
Melo and the team unveiled the Generation I deepcam — deepidv's point-of-sale identity verification kiosk built specifically for in-person transactions. Real estate professionals were immediately drawn to the possibilities: instant tenant screening, verified document signing, and frictionless identity checks at open houses and closing offices.
The response was overwhelmingly positive. Agents and brokers told Shawn-Marc Melo they'd been waiting for something exactly like this — a tool that makes compliance effortless without adding friction to the client experience.
Why Real Estate Needs Identity Verification
Between wire fraud, title theft, and the sheer volume of personal documents exchanged in every transaction, real estate is one of the most identity-sensitive industries out there. Under Melo's vision, deepidv's suite of products — from KYC verification to ID-gated e-signatures to secure document management — is purpose-built for this exact challenge.
"The agents we spoke to weren't asking if they needed identity verification — they were asking how soon they could get it." — Shawn-Marc Melo, Founder & CEO, deepidv
