Ottica AI develops on-premise facial recognition and computer vision that runs locally. We identify the people who matter in real time — while unknown biometrics are never tracked, tagged, or stored.
Recognition you can trust.
We measure, analyse, test, and refine — then do it all again. Ottica is tuned through relentless iteration against real-world conditions.
Many capabilities. One private engine.
Powerful underneath, simple to run. The complexity lives in our engine — one in-house system running entirely inside your venue.
From camera to a decision in under a second.
Camera stream
Ottica watches and analyses every camera stream in real time, reading each frame the moment it arrives.
On-premise engine
Our in-house AI processes every frame locally, on an server inside your venue.
Real-time match
Enrolled faces are matched against your watchlist in under a second, with instant alerts.
Private by design
Unknown faces are never tagged or retained, and records self-delete on your schedule.
Purpose-built for the venues that need it most.
The same engine, tuned to the rules, risks and outcomes of your sector.
What venues say after going live.
“We needed self-exclusion to actually work on the floor, not just on paper. Ottica flags an excluded patron the moment they walk in — discreetly — and nothing leaves the venue. It has changed how confidently we run the gaming room.”
“Our liquor accord obligations only mean something if banned patrons actually stay out. Ottica recognises them the moment they arrive and alerts the team discreetly, so we can uphold the accord without making a scene — and none of it leaves the venue.”
“Repeat offenders used to walk straight back in. Now our team gets an alert before they reach the aisles. Shrinkage is down and our staff feel safer.”
Thinking on ethical AI vision.
Most watch everyone. Ours remembers who you choose.
Privacy isn't a feature we added to Ottica — it's how we built it. Because biometric data is as sensitive as personal information gets, protection is structural, not bolted on after.
Engineered, not resold.
Every model, from facial recognition to people counting, is designed, trained and supported by our own team in Melbourne. That means faster answers, region-specific tuning, and updates shipped to every customer — not a white-labelled black box.
