December 20 2017 - 8:25AM
Ooma, Inc. (NYSE:OOMA), a smart communications platform for
businesses and consumers, today announced that it has acquired
Butterfleye, Inc., an AI-powered video camera and security
platform. Butterfleye’s smart video camera with AI for facial and
audio recognition will be integrated into the Ooma Home security
solution, and will also continue to function as a powerful
stand-alone security system sold under the Butterfleye brand.
"Butterfleye offers a fantastic intelligent security camera
system and we’re excited to add its capabilities to the Ooma Home
security service," said Eric Stang, chief executive officer of
Ooma. "Our strategy is to build upon Ooma’s smart communications
platform to provide advanced connected home solutions and this
acquisition is an important step in that direction."
“We are thrilled to join Ooma. With their support Butterfleye
will be even better placed to develop the next generation in AI
connected services for homes and businesses,” said Ben Nader, CEO
of Butterfleye.
Ooma Home is a comprehensive do-it-yourself home security
solution designed to work with the Ooma smart home phone service,
the Ooma Telo. The system includes motion, water, door and window
sensors in addition to the unique ability to remotely place a local
911 call from the home, thus providing all-encompassing protection
and peace of mind for consumers.
Butterfleye is an intelligent, wire-free security camera with an
ability to learn from what is going on around it. In 2015, the
Butterfleye team was inspired by the idea of an intelligent camera
savvy enough to detect people, pets, and various sounds, while
being robust enough to continue working through internet and power
outages. After developing an early prototype, the Butterfleye
camera, featuring advanced battery technology, 16 gigabytes of
internal storage and on-board image processing, successfully
launched with a $1 million Indiegogo campaign in 2016.
