A safer, smarter campus
Ottica AI helps schools and universities verify who belongs on campus, flag unknown individuals and automate attendance — all with biometric data kept securely on-site.
Open campuses, real safety pressures
Educational campuses are busy, open environments where staff, students, contractors and visitors move freely throughout the day. Keeping track of who should be present, and noticing who should not, is a constant challenge. Manual roll call wastes teaching time, and reactive security cannot flag an unknown individual until it may be too late.
Visitor management is hard at scale
Across multiple entrances and buildings, sign-in books and lanyards struggle to keep pace with daily foot traffic.
Roll call costs learning time
Manual attendance-taking eats into lessons and lectures and still produces gaps and errors.
Unknown individuals go unnoticed
Without active monitoring, an unauthorised person can move through a campus before anyone responds.
Security and attendance, working together
Ottica supports campus safety while quietly handling the administrative load of attendance.
Secure campus monitoring
Verify enrolled staff and students at entrances and key areas, and detect individuals who are not recognised.
Real-time unauthorised-person alerts
When an unknown individual is detected in a monitored area, staff are notified immediately on their preferred device.
Efficient automated attendance
Automate roll call so teaching and lecture time is spent on learning, not administration, with accurate records as a result.
On-premise data processing
All facial matching happens on a local server on campus. Biometric data never leaves the site and is never sent to the cloud.
Privacy-first for a sensitive setting
Only enrolled members of the campus community are recognised. Data is isolated per site and automatically deleted after a configurable retention period.
Smart cameras across campus
Ottica supplies smart cameras and on-site hardware across buildings and entry points, installed and tuned by our team for consistent campus-wide coverage.

Questions, answered.
No. Ottica recognises only enrolled members of the campus community. Unknown individuals trigger an alert but are not identified or retained, and only anonymous aggregate analytics are produced.
Entirely on-premise, on a local server on your campus. Nothing is sent to the cloud, data is isolated per site, and records are automatically deleted after your configured retention period.
Students are recognised as they enter monitored areas, so attendance is recorded automatically without a manual roll call, returning time to teaching and learning.
Transparency is central to responsible deployment. Ottica supports clear notice and consent processes so your community understands how, where and why the technology is used.
