The gap

Most sites are recorded, not protected.

A camera records the break-in and shows it to you in the morning. What actually stops one has always been priced out of reach: $12,000 a month for a guard post, $1,500 to $2,500 for a room of people watching your feed.

Why Ocula

Four things that make the difference.

Four differences between Ocula and everything else a site can buy.

01
Integration

Seamless from day one

Any camera with an RTSP stream, which is nearly all of them. Nothing replaced, nothing new on the wall.

02
Commitment

No staff and no contract

No guard to hire, no minimum term, and no equipment to buy.

03
Pricing

One price, however many cameras

$399 per site. More cameras does not change the bill, and there is no cap on events.

04
Response

Verified before police are called

An operator confirms on live video first, so police treat it as verified rather than as an alarm.

Every camera watched, not one at a time.

Monitoring services rotate. An operator moves between feeds, so the camera being watched is the only one being watched, and everything else on the site is recording to nobody until they come back around. Ocula does not rotate, because nothing has to wait its turn.

One operator, sixteen feeds

Whichever camera they are on, the other fifteen are recording to nobody.

The morning record

Something arrives every morning. Usually nothing happened.

Two or three nights a year have an incident. The other 362 still get written up.

365 a year Quiet nights included Written, not a dashboard
False alarms

Most alarms are false. Yours will not be.

Four false calls in a year and police stop responding to your address.

A person In your zone In your hours Still there

And nobody calls police until someone has watched it happen.

Versus a monitoring contract

Six differences that decide it.

Metering Stops after a set count. No event count.

The record Only when something happens. 365 mornings.
