Turova
About

Security built by people who actually camp off-grid

Turova started in a van at 2am, a long way from any help — and the unsettling realization that nothing on the market was built for that moment.

Our story

It started with a sound outside the van

Our founders were full-time travelers and engineers — one building robots, one building computer-vision systems. On a remote night with no cell signal, a stranger circled the van. The cloud camera was offline. The motion light had been ignoring deer all week. Nothing actually helped.

It turned out the same technology that lets a self-driving car see in the dark — LiDAR, thermal, edge AI — could fit in a van and run off a leisure battery. So we built it. First for ourselves, then for the friends who kept asking, and now for anyone who sleeps where there's no one to call.

Turova exists to give that confidence back: detect early, confirm honestly, respond instantly, and keep your data yours.

What we believe

The principles behind the product

Privacy by default

Your footage stays in your van unless you choose otherwise. On-device first, always.

Trust over noise

An alarm you can ignore is worse than none. We obsess over killing false alarms.

Built for the wild

If it doesn't work with no signal and no shore power, it isn't finished.

Own it, don't rent it

No mandatory subscriptions. You buy the hardware and it's truly yours.

The team

Small team, lots of miles

Engineers and travelers who test everything we build in the places it's meant to work.
