About the Company

Vosker

Off-grid security cameras with AI alerts

Vosker provides off-grid security cameras for homes, businesses, and assets in remote locations. The cameras run without Wi-Fi or power by using a built-in SIM with a data plan, and are monitored through a free mobile app that offers live viewing and 24/7 support. The system uses Vosker Sense AI to send users only the notifications that matter, reducing unnecessary alerts. Unlike typical surveillance gear that relies on existing networks, Vosker sells the cameras together with a data plan, making it a complete off-grid security solution. Its goal is to protect assets in hard-to-reach areas by delivering reliable remote monitoring through a simple, plan-based model and responsive support.
