Could you elaborate on the technology used in your smart cameras (AI, facial recognition, motion detection, etc.)?
Ozone’s smart cameras are equipped with advanced technologies designed to deliver reliable security, intelligent monitoring, and real-time response capabilities.
Our cameras use a combination of:
- Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensors – These detect changes in infrared radiation (heat) from humans or animals, reducing false alarms caused by non-living movement.
- Video Motion Detection (VMD) – It analyses changes in pixels frame by frame to identify motion.
- AI-Powered Motion Detection – Using artificial intelligence to distinguish between humans, pets, vehicles, and general movement, reducing unwanted alerts and improving accuracy.
This multi-layered approach provides responsive, intelligent monitoring while minimizing unnecessary alerts.
How do your cameras handle cloud storage, data privacy, and real-time alerts?
Ozone’s cloud storage security cameras transmit video footage to remote servers rather than storing it on local devices. While this method offers flexibility and ease of access, it also comes with certain privacy considerations, which we proactively address.
Data encryption is a key feature that secures video footage during transmission. Only authorized users can decode and view the encrypted content, effectively preventing unauthorized access.
To further enhance security, we implement robust access controls, including:
- Password protection.
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA), which requires multiple verification steps to gain access.
- User permissions, allowing control over who can view or manage the footage
Centralised management enables users to monitor multiple cameras through a secure interface, making it easier to manage different locations from a single dashboard.
We also maintain detailed access logs, which help users track who accessed the footage and when, thereby increasing transparency and accountability.
The system is scalable and flexible, allowing users to expand storage capacity as needed without compromising on security.
Real-time alerts are triggered by motion detection or other pre-defined events. These can be customized to send notifications via email, SMS, or mobile push notifications, ensuring users are always aware of activity in real-time.
What resolution and field of view can customers expect from your devices?
Ozone smart cameras, such as the OZ-Life-PC-01, offer Full HD 1080p resolution (1920×1080) powered by a 2MP sensor, providing sharp, detailed footage suitable for both home and commercial environments.
In terms of field of view, the camera supports 360-degree panoramic coverage when ceiling-mounted (standard, hanging, or inverted), ensuring comprehensive surveillance with minimal blind spots.
These devices also feature infrared night vision with a range of up to 10 meters, enabling clear video capture even in low-light conditions or complete darkness.
Are your cameras integrated with other security or automation products for centralized monitoring?
Yes, Ozone’s smart cameras, such as OZ-Life-PC-01 and OZ-LIFE-FC-01, are designed for seamless integration with other smart devices and automation systems. They can be centrally managed through the OzoLife app, which serves as a single control point for multiple devices and locations.
Here’s how the integration works:
- Centralized Monitoring: The OzoLife app enables users to monitor and manage multiple smart cameras and devices from various locations within a single interface. This ensures ease of access and real-time control.
- Remote Access & Control: Users can view live video and audio feeds, interact through two-way communication, receive motion alerts, and access recorded footage—anytime, anywhere—through the app.
- Inter-device Compatibility: Ozone smart locks and cameras can work together, allowing for actions such as viewing a live feed from the door camera and remotely unlocking the door after verifying the visitor.
- Multi-user Access: Users can share access with family members or trusted individuals, ensuring collaborative home management and security.
- Offline Notifications: In case of power or network disruptions, the system sends offline notifications, alerting users that a device has gone offline—helping maintain constant awareness.
What advanced functionalities do your smart video door phones provide beyond basic video calling?
Ozone Video Door Phone (VDP) systems offer several advanced features that go beyond basic video calling, focusing on enhanced security and everyday convenience. These systems enable visual identification of visitors, remote communication, and smart integrations for a seamless user experience.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Visitor Screening: VDPs allow you to see and speak with visitors before granting access, reducing the risk of unauthorized entry.

- Two-Way Communication: Communicate with visitors using the built-in intercom system without needing to open the door physically.
- Keyless Entry: When paired with a smart lock, you can unlock the door using fingerprint, password, or remote access—no need for traditional keys.
- Footage Access & Storage: With cloud or local storage options, you can access recorded footage at any time, making it easy to review past activity from the comfort of your doorstep.
