What the CCU does

Powerful features, zero complexity

Enterprise-grade detection in a device anyone can set up in minutes.

AI Detection

On-device AI distinguishes people and vehicles from animals, shadows, and weather. High-confidence threats trigger instant alerts and siren activation, while low-confidence events are quietly logged.

Privacy Zones

Draw static masks to exclude areas like public roads or neighbour properties from detection and recording. Dynamic masking reveals only the moving object entering a monitored zone.

Traditional CCTV vs CleverCam

False alarms are the real problem

Ordinary cameras flood control rooms with noise. CleverCam AI cuts through it.

Traditional CCTV
  • 50+ false alarms per week
  • Triggered by wind, rain, animals, shadows
  • Control room ignores alerts due to fatigue
  • No visual verification — blind response
With CleverCam AI
  • AI filters out 99.92% of false triggers
  • Detects people and vehicles only
  • Instant snapshots with every alarm
  • Siren fires automatically on confirmed threats
