Intruders don't just break in. They take the footage too.
Recording devices are a known target during break-ins in South Africa. No recorder means no footage, no case, and no evidence for insurance. We're building a solution. If this is your problem, we want to hear from you.

Recording devices get taken too.
The recorder is a well-known target during break-ins. Once it is gone, so is every second of footage your cameras captured.
No recorder means no case.
Without footage, there is no identification, no recovery, and a much harder insurance claim. The incident becomes a statistic.
You have no visibility while you're away.
Your cameras record to a box on your premises. There is no way to check in remotely, receive an alert when something moves, or know if your system has been tampered with.
What we're building.
Octane works with your existing cameras and DVR. Nothing gets replaced. The footage just stops living somewhere it can be taken.
Live view from your cameras
See any camera on your property from your phone, right now, without being home.
Motion clips stored offsite
When your DVR detects movement, the clip is immediately mirrored to the cloud — before anyone can touch the recorder. Footage retained for up to 30 days.
Cloud backup on South African servers
Your footage lives offsite, on South African servers. Flat-rate Rand pricing. No dollar-denominated subscriptions.
Intelligent motion alerts
Get a WhatsApp message when something unusual happens — movement at 3am, a vehicle stationary in your driveway, activity on a camera that is usually quiet. Not every motion event. Only the ones that matter.
How it works.
No technician visit. No changes to your existing cameras or DVR. Three steps.
01
A small device ships to you
Plug it into your router. No rewiring, no changes to your cameras or DVR. Your existing setup stays exactly as it is.
02
It connects to your DVR automatically
The device finds your DVR on your network and connects using its existing stream. Works with Hikvision, Dahua, and most major brands.
03
Your footage moves to the cloud
From that moment, motion clips are mirrored offsite, live view is available on your phone, and WhatsApp alerts are active.
