Earzz

The market is full of smart home monitors, which are usually pretty expensive and offer only one function. There is a baby monitor, a smart doorbell, a pet monitor for the cat, a fire alarm, a smoke alarm, and even a glass break monitor for security. And then there’s Earzz, one compact and affordable device to do it all.

Smart home monitors are made to make your life more comfortable. But then again when someone hears the word smart home they might instantly think that their privacy is at risk. So the first thing that we’d like to mention about Earzz is that it only recognizes sounds and not speech. So your conversations are only yours and your privacy is not under attack. 

Any audio collected by Earzz is instantly analyzed by its patent-pending AI algorithms to identify sounds alone (not speech), and then the collected audio is deleted. So it doesn’t store raw audio data once processing is over. 

The creators of Earzz have implemented all the necessary measures to ensure your security and privacy. Thanks to the Industry Standard Secure boot only authorized Earzz firmware runs on their monitors.

Moreover, Earzz uses secure cloud infrastructure with tools and features to guarantee network security, safe access control, and data encryption. Additionally, you can rest assured that they won’t sell your personal information to third parties for business or commercial purposes. 

Ok, so Earzz is surely not a spy. Now it’s time to understand how it works.

To start with, it’s super easy to set up and use. Just put your Earzz device where you want to listen for sounds. Near your door – to hear if anyone is knocking on your door, ringing your doorbell, or even trying to break in by smashing a window.  In the kitchen – to hear appliance beeps, timers, and even fire and smoke alarms. All are covered. Another thing to add is that Earzz is really convenient for parents and pet owners, as it detects crying, coughing, baby gates opening or closing, cat flaps, dog barks, and much more. The list of sounds you want to monitor is constantly growing and Earzz is there to help you with its constantly growing sound library. And guess what?  You don’t have to pay to get access to the new sounds that get added with time.

After placing your Earzz you have to choose the sounds you want to listen to and that is through the easy selection on the Earzz App. The app is really intuitive and easy to use. If you need more than one additional ear, you can go ahead and buy a second one or as many Earzz as you want and place them all over your home. There’s no limit to the number of Earzz that can be connected to your Earzz app. Also, you can receive notifications on multiple devices.

Besides, on the  App, you can choose how and when you get notified. It’s highly customizable. You can receive instant notifications so you never miss a sound that matters.  It even allows you to choose device tones and vibrations.  

Furthermore, when you don’t want to get notifications, you are able to pause them on the app,  change their frequency or turn off your Earzz monitors. And it takes you only one tap to turn back on your Earzz monitors when you need them again.

What’s more, the in-app sound notification log screen allows you to keep track of all the sounds that were captured at your place. So you know exactly when the sound event has happened. 

It’s also important to mention, that your Earzz will get better and better with time, thanks to its sound-recognizing AI algorithms that constantly improve through your feedback. So your smart monitor will get more accurate for the specific sounds of your home.

At this point, we can agree that Earzz is useful and practical. But what makes it stand out in the market? 

Its biggest competitive advantage is its patent-pending AI that learns with your feedback and respects your privacy by listening only for sounds. 

Another important factor is that you can choose multiple sounds for your Earzz to capture from an expansive and ever-growing sound catalog. You can be sure that you’ll find what you need. Your Earzz device can be set to listen for up to 3 sounds at any given time. You can listen to all sounds in the sound scene with Earzz+. This implies that your Earzz will detect all pertinent sounds in a certain room, such as a nursery or the kitchen.

You’ll also appreciate receiving instant notifications on your smart devices. Earzz is compatible with iOS and Android smartphones, tablets, and watches. You can even connect multiple devices.

Not to forget its compact, elegant and discrete design. The Earzz will seamlessly blend into the interior of your home. 

To pack even more convenience Earzz offers you additional customization features. You can easily upgrade your Earzz Basic subscription to Earzz Standard or Earzz Plus through the app.

The entire Earzz assembly process takes place in the UK. For that Earzz has partnered with several great suppliers. And also, In order to ensure compliance with international standards, including the FCC, UKCA, and CE certifications for the US, UK, and EU markets, they are currently working on the necessary requirements.

Despite being first-time campaigners, the creators are doing really well in communicating with their backers. They provide detailed answers to the comments within a day. Some of the suggestions of the backers are already a part of their product roadmap. For instance, the team is considering adding the option to train Earzz on completely new sounds. Moreover, they intend to add wider integration features, including deeper cross-platform integration, which will come with in-app updates as they evolve the product.
