CleverLoop is in production and already shipping! 

Free shipping within the USA and Canada.

Controlled directly from your mobile phone or tablet, CleverLoop is a unique device that uses your Wi-Fi network to connect with indoor and outdoor security cameras, making them truly smart. Experience the peace of mind that having security and  privacy brings.


Compare CleverLoop with Nest



Why CleverLoop is unique

CleverLoop is available with indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi cameras, which is rare in the smart security world, but what makes CleverLoop truly unique is the way it harnesses the latest video home security technology and lets you customize it to your own safety and privacy requirements.

You decide which events are important, and which ones justify an instant alert sent to your mobile device. Don't need alerts for your pet walking around your home, a shadow moving across a room or cars passing by near a window? Not a problem, CleverLoop learns quickly, so you only see what matters to you:

You also control which footage is stored privately in-home and which goes to the cloud, making it harder for unauthorized people to access your personal video footage.

"CleverLoop actually might be onto something. I’m truly blown away by the system...The setup for the CleverLoop system is insanely easy...I truly think that everyone looking to outfit their homes with a security system should look into the CleverLoop." - TalkAndroid (January 2016)

“CleverLoop stands out in a sea of DIY home security systems, because it can actually learn about what it sees—and alert the homeowner accordingly. In other words, this solution is sort of like the Nest for the home security market.” Electronic House (December 2015)

"While Cleverloop shares many characteristics with its competitors, there are things that make it unique. Notably the fact that it is one of the few plug and play camera solutions offering the option to add an outdoor camera. On top of that, the system is 'clever' and learns and adapts over time." SecurityGem (December 2015)

"I’m really blown away with the system. It was quick to setup, easy to use and is as the name suggests - just really clever. I can see its use in many homes and possibly even small businesses over this holiday period. Well done CleverLoop, this is a well designed, cost effective and easy to use smart home security product." NetGuide (November 2015)

"Improve Your Home Security System with Smart Analysis. The era of fixed security cameras and expensive monthly fees for home security systems are now a thing of the past." - TechNode

"There are plenty of security cameras on the market. Not all of them are designed to learn from your feedback to make your life easier." - iphoneness

"This is one of those, 'Gahh, why didn’t I think of that!' applications. [CleverLoop] is a security software that visually recognizes a room and alerts the homeowner of any changes." - eyesFinder

What I like about CleverLoop...

                                 —Backer feedback from Gary Moore, Colorado, United States

See, Think, Act, Learn.

CleverLoop thinks about what your cameras are seeing, taking action based on your own personal settings. And, with your help, CleverLoop keeps learning what’s important, and what’s not important, to you.

See what is really happening in your home using compatible high-definition cameras. The best security systems all use high quality, high definition cameras to help you see what is happening. 

Local footage analysis adds security and personal privacy. CleverLoop analyzes your HD camera video using smart detection algorithms, right there in your home. CleverLoop figures out what's happening, without sending footage to the cloud for external scrutiny.

Choose the right action with CleverLoop's simple storage and alert settings. You decide what alerts you receive, and you control what footage is stored where. With cloud and local storage options, CleverLoop gives you the perfect mix of security and privacy.

With CleverLoop's 'Clever Learning', you decide what's important. Forget about endless false alarms. CleverLoop will quickly sort the important from the unimportant. That way next time something happens, you only receive instant alerts that matter to you.


False alarms cause unnecessary stress and are one of the biggest reasons why people turn off their security system.

Making sure your most important people, places, pets and possessions are safe and sound

Whether you’re at the corner store or across the world, CleverLoop puts high definition cameras to work for you.

Right there on your mobile device, you can view live or recorded camera footage of your home, and receive instant alerts about unusual events. And with night-vision cameras, that secure feeling is within reach, both day and night. 

Protecting your privacy, as well as your home 

When it comes to offering privacy and security, CleverLoop is unique.  The innovation comes from how it analyzes video and stores footage.

Some security systems rely on old motion sensor technology to activate video cameras, whilst others don't even use cameras. Other hi-tech, camera based systems send continuous video footage to the cloud for analysis. But how secure is this?

Security breaches are becoming increasingly common, with unscrupulous organizations and individuals accessing  our private information. This is why CleverLoop does the smart analysis in-home, and gives you local and cloud storage options.

Joseph Mayton, reporting on the acquisition of Dropcam by Google owned Nest. Tech Times | June 21, 2014


An end to false alarms caused by most pets

CleverLoop sees the room you are monitoring as well as the small pets moving around within it, and learns very quickly what you don’t want to be alerted to. 

Regular motion sensors detect small pets, which means false alarms. Even ‘pet immune’ motion sensors are still prone to false alarms. And then there’s the old trick of tilting sensors towards the ceiling to reduce the amount of movement they pick up, which is hardly ideal!

With CleverLoop in action you can leave your house with the peace of mind that comes with having video security and instant alerts, whilst also knowing that your small pet won’t cause you the worry of false alarms.

Plus, from your mobile device you can check in on live footage just to see how your other ‘family member’ is getting on.


Simple to set up & super easy to use

From opening the box through to watching saved footage, CleverLoop is super easy to set up and use.

CleverLoop simply plugs into your Wi-Fi router and wirelessly links to a maximum of three indoor or outdoor security cameras. With built in step-by-step video guides on the iOS or Android app, you can set up CleverLoop in minutes. You can then control every setting and view every important moment directly on your mobile device, no matter where you are in the world. 

Save footage and money

CleverLoop is great value. Use local storage and have access to 7 days of free rolling cloud storage for important events.

With CleverLoop you can record constant or important footage locally using the 8GB internal SD card. You'll save valuable bandwidth while still having access to free cloud storage for important events. There are no contracts and no fees for 7 days of rolling cloud storage.

Plus, with CleverLoop you can record continuous footage to a connected hard drive or USB Flash drive by simply connecting your storage into the Base Station USB port. Easy!

— Backer feedback from Kim Vellore, California, United States


Shortfalls of other security systems

Non-video security systems usually only send an alarm if a door or window is opened. Used alone, they are limited by the fact that you can’t see what’s happening, which means you don’t know if something is a false alarm or a real problem. Plus, you can’t capture important moments or unusual events on video.

Motion sensor activated video security systems use passive infra-red motion sensors, which when set off, start a video recording or create some sort of alert. They rely on picking up heat sources and a motion ‘sensitivity’ setting. Set the sensitivity too high, and there can be a lot of false alarms. Set the sensitivity too low, and the sensor might actually miss important events. Plus, it’s often easy to fool the sensors so they don’t pick up body heat.


Lucian Constantin, IDG News Service, July 31 2013, reporting on a Black Hat USA Security Conference presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions


1. Purchasing and Setup

What sort of locations can I use CleverLoop in?

CleverLoop is used for home security protection and monitoring, and also provides a great solution for small businesses looking for increased security.

Being quick to install, easy to operate and very cost effective to use, people are using CleverLoop in many locations, from homes and apartments to offices.

What if I buy more than 1 CleverLoop Base Station?

If you purchase multiple CleverLoop Base Stations to use in different locations (i.e. 1 at home and 1 in your office or second home), you can access each of these, and the cameras connected to each, from the same app on your mobile device. The number of CleverLoop devices supported by the CleverLoop app on your phone or tablet is unlimited. Quite a few users have also bought 2 Base Stations for their home, meaning they can use upto 6 cameras in total.

How many cameras can a single CleverLoop Base Station support?

A single CleverLoop Base Station can support a maximum of 3 HD indoor and outdoor cameras.

How many cameras should I buy?

This really depends on the layout of your home or small office, but here are some ideas:

·  1 indoor camera for houses / apartments / offices that have 1 entrance or main hallway.

·  2 or 3 cameras for homes / offices with additional entrances or those that have bedrooms, living rooms or other spaces that have external doors and windows.

· 2 outdoor cameras for both the front and rear door of a home or office and 1 indoor camera for the room with the most valuable items or a garage.

Where should I place CleverLoop in my home / office?

The CleverLoop Base Station can be placed anywhere in your home or office where it can be plugged into a router that has internet connectivity - to operate, the Base Station must always be plugged into a router. Your Wi-Fi cameras also need to be within the signal range of your router. The best place to position your cameras is somewhere they can best see full images of people, for example in the corner of a room or capturing an entire entranceway.

What if I want to move CleverLoop to somewhere else?

You can easily move the CleverLoop Base Station to a different location. Moving to a new house or want to keep an eye on something elsewhere? You simply unplug the Base station and take it to the new location and then set it up again, along with the required camera(s). It will take CleverLoop a little while to learn about the new situation and the new location.

How easy is it to set up CleverLoop?

CleverLoop is super easy to set up. You just need to plug the Base Station and your HD camera into your router and then use your mobile device to scan a QR code which is located on the underside of the Base Station unit. The CleverLoop mobile app will then guide you through a few steps. Done! You can now unplug your camera and place it in the location you want to monitor.


2. Compatibility with Cameras and Phones 

What mobile phones and tablets will support the CleverLoop App?

CleverLoop has two different apps and these will work on any mobile device that runs either:

· iOS version 7.0 and above, or

· Android version 4.0 and above.

Can I use CleverLoop with my PC or MAC?

CleverLoop is only accessible via the iOS and Android apps at the present, but we are working on an in-browser feature.


3. Video Storage Options

Does CleverLoop come with an SD card?

Yes, CleverLoop comes with an 8G SD card. You can use this SD card to store important event footage locally.

What options do I have for storing footage in the cloud?

All users of CleverLoop will receive free use of the CleverLoop cloud service for important events from the last 7 days. This free option will always be available and gives you complete access to store, view and download important footage from the last 7 days. This service is also contract free.

In the future we may provide additional cloud services or premium features.

Can I continuously store footage on an external hard drive or a USB Flash Drive?

Yes! Simply connect an external hard drive or USB Flash drive into the USB port on the back of your Base Station, turn your Base Station off and back on (wait about 10 seconds before re-powering) and continuous storage is activated. 

At present, continuous storage is set to come on when your system is disarmed using either geofencing or scheduling. This means that when you are at home you can continuously record activities taking place around the house without being sent alerts every time a person walks past a camera. This is also useful in small businesses and shops where you want to record continuously during opening hours, but receive alerts about unusual activity after-hours.


4. Technical Information

Can I set up more than one person with the app so they can access my CleverLoop video and also receive alerts?

Yes, if you choose, multiple users can be supported by one CleverLoop device. This means you and your family can all access the CleverLoop system that’s in your home, with each person having their own username and password. There is no additional cost to add additional people to your 'Security Loop'.

With CleverLoop you also set up a 'Master User' who has the ability to view other users of the same Base Station and remove them from the system.

Will I get alarms when I, or my family members, walk around the house?

CleverLoop’s geo-fencing feature means you don’t have to manually turn the system on every time you go out and off every time you come home. It simply detects when your smartphone is near to the Base Station using your location and saves you the hassle.

You can use the scheduling inactive times feature to set working hours for CleverLoop so it automatically turns alarm and/or recording functions on or off, following the time you set.

Will my pets cause false alarm issues?

The short answer is no. CleverLoop quickly sorts important activities from unimportant movements, meaning you only receive instant alerts that matter. You can also teach CleverLoop about your specific envinronment by providing feedback on any alerts you recieve. This rapid learning feature lets you decide what triggers alerts in the future.

What sort of power supply does CleverLoop use?

CleverLoop plugs directly into your home’s power sockets. Each CleverLoop Base Station, and each camera, will be supplied with a power cable that is suitable for use in your country i.e. correct voltage input and correct configuration of pins on the plug.

What happens if there is a power outage or an internet outage?

CleverLoop has a power and internet outage alert function. This means that if there is a power or internet outage, you will receive an instant alert on your mobile phone informing you that CleverLoop is offline.

What is CleverLoop's WiFi Range?

CleverLoop uses the Wi-Fi signal from your router to connect to cameras. This means that it is the strength of your router signal and the proximity of the router to your wireless cameras that is important.

5. Privacy

How private is cloud stored video footage?

CleverLoop uses bank-level security. All communication between your CleverLoop Base Station, the CleverLoop server and your smart phone is encrypted over SSL (HTTPS).

Can I turn off the video recording?

Yes, you can turn off video recording through the app by disabling the cameras or by using various armed and disarmed functions. Or just pull the plug out! :)

Can somebody else gain control of CleverLoop and my cameras?

CleverLoop is super secure and uses high level encryption to make sure it stays secure. The main thing to remember, as with any secured websites that you use, is to choose a strong password, to keep that password safe, and to change it regularly. As mentioned earlier, with CleverLoop you can also set up a 'Master User' who has the ability to view other users of the same Base Station and remove them from the system.

What happens if someone breaks in and steals my CleverLoop Base Station?

If someone breaks in and steals your Base Station then footage will be stored in the cloud of any unusual events that take place within view of your HD cameras and based on the alert setting you choose, you will also receive an instant alert.  An offline / power outage alert will also be generated and sent to your mobile device.
