Monitoring Service: "No Camera, No Internet Required, Completed with LINE"

Cocowa is a monitoring service equipped with a domestically produced human motion sensor, with design and production all done in Japan. It is chosen by many families due to the following features:

・Protects privacy with no camera Absolutely no recording of video or audio. The sensor only detects "presence or absence of movement," so monitored parents can accept it without resistance.

・No internet line or construction required Installation can be completed in as little as 1 minute by simply plugging the device, which has a built-in Docomo LTE network, into an outlet. No new internet contract or presence during installation work is necessary.

・Completed entirely with LINE No new app downloads or complex settings are required. All activity status notifications, regular reports, and emergency alerts can be received via your usual LINE app.

Future Developments

"Cocowa" will continue to improve services and develop features to further enhance the monitoring experience. Furthermore, we will strengthen cooperation with local businesses and municipalities to create an environment where more families can live with peace of mind.
