Ooma Introduces New Smart Home Monitoring System With Remote 911™
Ooma expands award-winning smart home phone service to provide
real-time home monitoring alerts and the ability to call 911 remotely
from your home phone number when you’re not at home.
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ooma,
Inc. (NYSE:OOMA), a smart communications platform for small
businesses and consumers, today introduced Ooma Home Monitoring, a
comprehensive do-it-yourself home monitoring solution that alerts users
of events within their homes. Designed to work with the Ooma smart home
phone service – the Ooma Telo – the system includes motion, water, door
and window sensors in addition to the unique ability to remotely place a
local 911 call from the home, thus providing all-encompassing protection
and peace of mind for consumers.
“Ooma’s unique hybrid cloud platform is ideally suited to enable new
innovative services including our new Home Monitoring service,” said
Eric Stang, CEO of Ooma. “Ooma Home Monitoring joins our recently
announced Ooma Internet Security as two new Ooma-branded smart home
services offered to our large base of Ooma Telo customers. Integrating
Ooma Home Monitoring with Remote 911 gives our customers even greater
security and convenience.”
Consumers can manage the system and monitor the status of each sensor
via the Ooma Home Monitoring Mobile App on their iOS or Android mobile
device. Users can select from a variety of real-time notifications
including a phone call, SMS, email alerts and app notifications. The
Ooma Telo device can also deliver voice announcements when a sensor is
triggered or when “home” or “away” mode is changed. Ooma Home Monitoring
is the only solution to provide the option to remotely dial 911 from
your home phone number, even when you’re away, and speak with your
home’s local emergency dispatcher, who will automatically receive your
home address information to facilitate the fastest response time
possible.
Ooma Home Monitoring supports up to 100 connected sensors using the
latest version of the Ooma Telo. Sensors work wirelessly using the same
DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology used by
hundreds of millions of cordless handsets worldwide and are easily
installed. This eliminates the need for professional installers, and
gives home owners and renters a simple and affordable home monitoring
system.

for the first sensor (door/window, motion or water). For each additional
