Evoz began as a modern baby-monitoring (audio and video) system in September 2011, operating over iOS and Wi‑Fi on a monthly subscription basis. It has since evolved into a cloud-based platform aimed at any connected devices, focusing on the software behind smart devices to enable functionality beyond basic remote control and monitoring. The platform claims to detect different events in the home (alarms, doorbells, etc.) and to perform actions such as alerting service providers. Evoz positions itself as a software-first company providing data-enabled personalized services for multiple hardware providers and seeks speed to market via partnerships with large device companies. The company announced a deal with British Telecom to power the next generation of its home automation devices and cites Belkin as another potential partner. Its competitors include Yoics, Ayla Networks, Dropcam, Nest, Withings, and connected-device platforms that offer IFTTT-style services. Financially, Evoz previously secured $900,000 in seed funding led by Dave McClure and 500 Startups, with additional investment from Initial Capital, David Shen, and Medital.
