Your Rental Properties.
Run Themselves.
OVAL brings AI intelligence to every Airbnb, VRBO, and short-term rental property — automating check-in, security, and device control from a single app. Remotely.
7.7 million Airbnb hosts.
Most of them still manage properties the hard way.
Driving to properties for lockbox issues. Juggling 4 separate apps. Getting woken up at 2am for a guest question OVAL answers automatically.
From guest booking to checkout —
OVAL handles everything.
OVAL's Edge AI processes everything on-device. No cloud dependency. Instant alerts. One app across every property you own.
Mount OVAL at the front door or inside as a hub. Connects to your WiFi in under 10 minutes. No electrician needed.
Link your smart lock, thermostat, lights, and cameras. OVAL integrates with 2,700+ devices from a single app.
Define what happens at check-in, checkout, and between stays. OVAL executes every automation — automatically, every time.
Monitor every property from one app. Get AI alerts for what actually matters. Ask OVAL what happened — it tells you.
Automated guest check-in — no keys, no coordination
When a guest arrives, OVAL recognises the visit, triggers the smart lock, adjusts lights and temperature — all without a single message to the host. The guest walks in. Everything is ready.
- → Visitor Alert — OVAL sees the guest arrive and notifies you instantly
- → Auto-lock control — door unlocks on schedule, re-locks after entry
- → Climate automation — thermostat pre-sets to guest preference at arrival
- → Lights on welcome — lighting scenes activate at check-in time automatically
Real-time security — know before it escalates
OVAL's AI doesn't just detect motion — it understands context. It knows the difference between a guest, a visitor, an unknown person, and a potential threat. You know before the guest does.
- → Intruder Alert — unknown person at the property triggers instant notification
- → Weapon Detection Alert — the only STR security system with AI weapon awareness
- → Fence / Wall Climb Alert — perimeter breach detection before anyone enters
- → No cloud = no data exposure — all video processed on-device, never uploaded
OVAL watches so you don't have to.
11 AI alert types. Every one built around a real scenario short-term rental hosts face. OVAL catches what matters — and ignores everything else.
Package Delivery Alert
Know when a delivery arrives at your property — even when you're not there.
Visitor Alert
Know who is at the door. Facial recognition identifies guests, known visitors, and strangers.
Intruder Alert
The moment someone who shouldn't be there appears — you know instantly.
Weapon Detection Alert
The only STR security system with on-device AI weapon detection. No one should be blindsided.
Fire Alert
Five extra minutes of warning can save your entire property — and your guests.
Water Safety Alert
Leaks, floods, and pool hazards detected before they become a damage claim.
Fence / Wall Climb Alert
Perimeter breach detection — notified before anyone reaches your property entrance.
Eavesdropping Alert
Detects suspicious listening devices near your property. Your guests' privacy protected.
Everything Ring does.
Plus your property's intelligence back.
Ring, Nest, and traditional property management systems were not built for STR hosts. OVAL was.

OVAL pays for itself.
A single prevented damage claim, avoided drive to a property, or upgrade to a 5-star review covers the cost of OVAL many times over. Most hosts see full ROI within their first month.
Hosts who use OVAL don't go back.
"I manage 4 Airbnbs and haven't physically visited any of them in 8 weeks. OVAL handles every check-in, every lock, every alert. It's like having a property manager who never sleeps and never calls in sick."
"The Intruder Alert went off at 2am at my Phoenix rental. OVAL identified it as an unknown person near the back gate. I was able to call the guest before anything happened. Old system would have just beeped."
"I was paying $180/month across 3 different apps and a Ring subscription. OVAL replaced all of it. One app. One device per property. And the AI is actually useful — not just motion detected over and over."
Everything STR hosts ask before ordering OVAL.
Yes. One OVAL device per property, one app for all of them. Your entire portfolio is visible on a single screen — cameras, locks, sensors, alerts. Add properties any time with no additional subscription cost per property on the Free or Basic plan.
OVAL integrates with smart home devices (locks, thermostats, lights, cameras) via its 2,700+ device compatibility. Integration with Airbnb and VRBO booking calendars is on our product roadmap for 2026. In the meantime, hosts set check-in automations by time/date manually in the OVAL app — which takes under 2 minutes per booking.
Nothing is stored in the cloud by default. OVAL processes all video and AI analysis entirely on the device. Your footage stays at your property — not on Amazon's, Google's, or anyone else's servers. Optional encrypted cloud backup is available on Pro and Premium plans for an additional fee.
Yes. OVAL integrates with 2,700+ smart home devices including August, Yale, Schlage, Kwikset, Nest, Ring, Honeywell, Phillips Hue, and most major smart home brands. Check the full compatibility list at hellooval.com/pages/supported-devices.
Under 30 minutes for a standard installation. OVAL mounts to an existing doorbell wiring (if available) or can be installed wire-free with the included battery pack. No electrician required. Full installation guide at hellooval.com/pages/setup.
The early-bird preorder price is $399 (full retail $569). OVAL ships Q3 2026. All preorders include a 30-day money-back guarantee and 1-year warranty. Order at hellooval.com/products/irvinei-ai-powered-touchscreen-doorbell.
The Pro plan ($15/month) and Premium plan ($20/month) include advanced AI alerts, multi-camera support, and priority notifications — ideal for multi-property hosts. The Free plan includes core alerts and remote access and works well for hosts starting with one property. Full plan comparison at hellooval.com/pages/guard-plans.
Your properties are open for business.
