Everything your cameras were missing.
OttoSentry turns ordinary IP cameras into smart ones. Here's what it does, and what's coming next.
Core protection
Smart detection.
People, vehicles and animals, not every moving leaf.
Zones and virtual lines.
Draw areas and tripwires on each camera's view. Set schedules for nights, weekends or when you're away.
Smart false-alarm filtering.
Ignores trees, rain, shadows and passing headlights by checking how something moves before alerting you.
Camera tamper alerts.
Tells you if a camera is covered, blacked out, frozen, blurred or turned away.
Instant alerts.
A snapshot on your phone in seconds, with info, warning and critical levels, and reminders if a critical alert isn't seen.
Event clips.
The moments before and after every event, saved on your OttoSentry device at home.
Alarm and deterrence.
A siren or spotlight switches on automatically when you're armed. Choose the warning sound.
Arm, disarm and schedules.
Home, Away and Off modes, from your phone or on a timetable.
Camera control.
Move pan-tilt-zoom cameras, jump to presets, switch night vision and lights. OttoSentry can follow a person across the view.
Live view.
Watch your cameras from anywhere, streamed straight from your home.
Works offline.
Keeps detecting, recording and sounding the alarm without internet, and sends what you missed when you're back online.
Battery backup.
The OttoSentry Node keeps watching, recording and sounding the alarm through power cuts.
Smart insights
Loitering alerts.
Someone lingering at your gate longer than usual.
Vehicle protection.
Someone hanging around or circling your parked car.
Package alerts.
A delivery arrives, or someone takes it.
Search by description.
Type "red car yesterday afternoon" or "person with a backpack at the gate".
Everyday awareness
Daily summary.
One short message: "3 deliveries, 1 unknown person at 2:22 am, camera 2 offline for 10 minutes."
People counting and heatmaps.
Visitor counts and busy areas for shops and offices.
Fall alerts.
Warns you if someone falls and doesn't get up.
Face recognition, if you want it.
Recognises the people you choose to add. Off by default, and face data never leaves your OttoSentry device.
Works with your cameras
Most IP cameras.
Any camera that supports the RTSP or ONVIF standards, from many brands.
Cameras with OttoSentry built in.
From partner brands. Scan a code and you're done.
Matter cameras.
The new smart-home standard for cameras.
On the roadmap
Rules in plain language.
"Alert me if anyone is at the gate after 10 pm on weekdays."
Ask what happened.
"What happened while I was away?", answered from your camera history.
One alert per incident.
Follows a person from the gate camera to the door camera and tells you once.
Learns what's normal.
Flags what's unusual for your home without you drawing anything.
A sound or light per zone.
Choose the deterrent for each zone — a siren at the gate, a light at the door.
More than cameras.
Other sensors, like door and motion sensors, work alongside your cameras.
Works with your other systems.
Smart locks, lights, security response teams and insurance, plus verification clips for monitoring centres.
Research only
Licence plates.
Reading number plates at gates and entrances.
Audio events.
Recognising sounds like breaking glass or shouting.
Weapon detection.
Being researched with care — and never sold.
