The 'Ulo' is an owl-like surveillance camera that can be attached to walls or placed on shelves within one’s home. The adorable security system is app-connected and will communicate with the homeowner when occurrences such as movement detection happen.
Ulo’s small size makes it the ideal camera for home surveillance. It uses both audio and video to keep track of goings on within the home. The device can be accessed via any technological device from iPads to laptops. The owl-like surveillance camera blends into homes as an accessory or small toy, which makes it the perfect disguise if an intruder enters the home.
The camera uses its large owl eyes to interact with the user. It can blink, squint and look around just like a real live creature. The user can even change the color of Ulo’s eyes using the app, and when a live photograph is taken, Ulo looks like it’s winking at the subject.
