available now in white or black, can be placed anywhere, connecting

Ooma Butterfleye is the newest offering from Ooma Home, an
innovative home security and monitoring platform
(https://ca.ooma.com/home-security/) that provides comprehensive
do-it-yourself protection through sensors for detecting motion, the
opening of doors and windows, water leaks, smoke and the opening of
garage doors.
Industry leading features of the Ooma Butterfleye include:
- Facial recognition – Artificial intelligence
built into the Ooma Butterfleye and its cloud storage service
allows users to train the camera to recognize faces. This can
significantly reduce false positives, common in other home security
cameras, where friends or family members trigger unnecessary
alerts.
- Backup battery and onboard storage – The Ooma
Butterfleye contains a back-up battery that will keep the camera
running for two to four weeks under typical usage conditions, along
with 16 gigabytes of onboard storage (32 gigabytes for the black
camera). When reconnected to Wi-Fi, the camera uploads all recorded
clips, so users can see what happened even during a power outage or
when the camera is used in locations where power and internet
aren’t available.
- Instant video capture – The Ooma Butterfleye
records a constantly refreshed five-second video buffer when
connected to AC power. Whenever an event is triggered – such as
motion or a loud noise – the camera adds the buffer to the uploaded
video clip. In effect, this creates a mini time machine where the
clip shows what happened in the five seconds before the triggering
event.
- Auto privacy mode – The camera can be set for
geofencing, where it is automatically turned off when a user
returns home, based on the location of the user’s mobile phone, and
automatically turned on when the user departs.
- Two-way audio – The Ooma Butterfleye contains
both a microphone and a speaker. While livestreaming, users can
talk to people in range of the camera through the Ooma Butterfleye
app on their phones.
- Seven days of free storage – The cloud service
that supports Ooma Butterfleye will store the most recent seven
days of clips, up to 1 gigabyte total, at no charge. A subscription
plan extends storage to 30 days.
Ooma Butterfleye automatically records video clips in full
high-definition whenever the camera detects motion, a loud noise or
a face. The clips run for 20 seconds when the camera is plugged
into AC power, and 10 seconds when running on battery.
“To put it simply, Ooma Butterfleye is eyes where you are not,”
said Ben Nader, general manager of video solutions at Ooma. “Now
you can know what happens at your home or business when you’re
away, through a next-generation security camera that’s easy to set
up, easy to place wherever it’s needed, easy to use, and smart
enough to limit false alarms.”
Ooma Butterfleye brings new depth to Ooma Home, integrating with
the platform’s other sensors to tell the whole of story of what’s
happening when users are away. For example, an Ooma Home motion
sensor can trigger Ooma Butterfleye to make a recording, so users
have visual confirmation of any activity. There are multiple
options for receiving alerts, including text messages, push
notifications and even automated phone calls. And Ooma Home is the
only home security solution offering Remote 911™, where users can
call through a mobile phone from anywhere in the world to reach the
local 911 operators for their home address.
