that defeats a $500 camera
All-seeing.
All-hearing.
All yours.
The home security system that watches your door and the invisible signals around it. No cloud. No subscription. No one else ever sees your data.
The short version.
- What
- A doorbell camera that also listens to the radio waves around your home — phones, WiFi, drones, jammers. Nothing else on the market does that.
- How
- Six senses run in parallel — camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, radio, audio, tamper — all fused in real time, on the device you own.
- Why
- A $50 jammer silences every Ring on the block. We catch the jammer itself — and keep recording, locally, always.
- For whom
- Homeowners who don't want Amazon, Google, or a monthly bill deciding who sees their front door. You own the hardware. You own the footage.
- Today
- Not a concept — a working product. Six-sensor fusion, a 16-view dashboard, and a companion iPhone and Android app. Running on real hardware, shipping soon.
Four numbers that tell the story.

South American jammer crew
Every one of these incidents is impossible against a system that monitors the RF layer, stores everything locally, and alerts across five independent channels. That system didn't exist — so we built it.
From photon to push — in 4 stages.
Everything happens on the device. No cloud round-trip. No analyst in the loop.
The camera watches. Six other senses listen — for phones, WiFi, garage openers, glass, drones, and anyone who touches the device itself. All at once.
The async event bus feeds the 15-signal correlation engine. Unknown face + digital silence + unusual hour = threat 82. <5 ms compute.
If it's serious, every alert channel fires at once — your phone, your smart lights and siren, email, and a loud voice at the door that says "you are being recorded." In under a second.
4K video, audio, and a full timeline — sealed, encrypted, tamper-proof. If you ever need it, one click gives police a package they can take to court.
No data ever leaves your hardware.
There is no cloud account. No subscription for core functionality. No backend server. No third party that can access, delete, or subpoena your data. You physically own every byte — video, RF fingerprints, device logs, forensic exports — on encrypted local storage that you control.
No Cloud
Not "hybrid cloud." Not "cloud-optional." Zero cloud. Every byte of footage, every RF fingerprint, every event — local.
No Subscription
No $8/month Nest Aware. No $30/month monitoring. The system works identically on day one and year five — no paywall gating features.
No Subpoena Risk
When you delete data, it is deleted. There is no Google engineer who can recover footage you chose not to keep.
Encrypted at Rest
Bank-grade encryption on a dedicated security chip. The retention settings you choose are the ones that execute — nothing behind the scenes, nothing to override.
What the camera can't see, we still hear.
Phones, WiFi networks, garage openers, even drones — everything electronic whispers something to the air. Optes G1 listens, in three directions at once.
Knows who's nearby
Every phone, smartwatch, and earbud broadcasts itself — 5 to 10 times a second — to anything within range. Optes G1 quietly learns which devices belong to your family and flags anything new that keeps coming back.
Someone casing the house over several visits. A person walking up with no phone at all — which almost nobody does by accident.
Detects the jammer attack
The most common burglary tool of 2026 isn't a crowbar — it's a $50 WiFi jammer. It silences every Ring, Nest, and alarm on a property in seconds. Optes G1 notices the moment the airwaves go strange.
The attack itself, before the camera even blinks. Fake WiFi networks used to trick your phone. Anyone pretending to be your router.
Hears garage doors & drones
Your garage door, your car's tire sensors, your weather station, even drones overhead — they all talk on invisible radio channels. Optes G1 understands hundreds of them.
A drone circling your home. Your garage door opening at 2 AM when everyone is home. A stolen car key clone attempt.
No single attack can blind it.
Cover the camera. Jam the WiFi. Cut the power. Each row is a real attack. Each column is a sensor still watching. Where Ring goes dark, we catch the attack itself.

Agents could excavate material that people would think would normally be deleted.
Three incidents. One capability gap.
These aren't hypotheticals. Each case shows exactly which Optes G1 capability would have closed a gap that a conventional system left wide open.
The Guthrie Abduction
Nancy Guthrie, 84, mother of NBC Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home. A masked intruder covered her Google Nest doorbell camera with a potted plant and disconnected it at 1:47 AM. Because she had no Nest Aware subscription, video was set to auto-delete within 3–6 hours.
Her absence was not discovered until 11:00 AM — 9 hours and 13 minutes later — when she missed church. The suspect had been captured casing the property weeks earlier, but no system flagged the return visits.
As of April 15, 2026: Nancy Guthrie remains missing. No arrests. $1M family reward.

WiFi Jammer Burglary Crews
In February 2026, a South American theft ring was linked to 60+ high-end Houston-area home burglaries using signal jammers. A $50 WiFi jammer silences every Ring/Nest/Arlo camera on a property — the homeowner's $500 system defeated by a $50 device. Similar crews documented in LA, Denver, Glendale, and the Northeast.
"If you have a Ring camera, a Nest camera, any alarm system that's WiFi-based, it blocks the signal and knocks it out."
Sgt. Victor Jackson, Glendale PD · ABC7 LAThe surveillance reckoning.
Four industry crises in the last twelve months. Each one validates the architecture of this product.
"Residual Data" revelation
FBI recovered Nancy Guthrie's doorbell footage from Google's "backend systems" despite no active subscription. Agents could "excavate material that people would think would normally be deleted."
Super Bowl backlash
Amazon's Ring ran a Super Bowl 2026 ad for a "Search Party" feature — widely called "the quiet rollout of a national surveillance regime." Senator Markey condemned it. Amazon canceled its Flock Safety partnership.
Illinois blocks facial recognition
Amazon launched "Familiar Faces" for Ring in December 2025. Illinois immediately blocked it under BIPA. Texas and Washington followed. Feature unavailable in three states and counting.
150,000 cameras breached
Hackers breached Verkada via a misconfigured Jenkins server, accessing 150,000 live feeds inside hospitals, schools, police stations, and Tesla factories. FTC imposed a $2.95M penalty.
A giant step toward a dystopian future where Americans cannot leave their homes without being tracked and surveilled.
Six capabilities.
Us vs. everyone else.
The matrix below is the whole pitch. Every row is a gap in every other camera on the market.
