Camera-free sensors that alert property operators to noise, smoke, occupancy and climate issues in real time.
By Minut · HQ Malmö, Sweden · 4.7/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- Vacation rental and short-term rental managers with 20+ units who need noise, smoking and occupancy oversight without cameras
- Aparthotel, hotel and student accommodation teams enforcing quiet hours, smoking bans and indoor air quality standards
- Multifamily residential operators who must demonstrate to neighbours and councils that noise is monitored proactively
- Portfolio operations teams that need incident reports and audit-ready event logs to settle disputes and levy fines
Ideal size: 5–100 people · Scale-up or enterprise property operator with 20+ rental units and an existing PMS stack
Not for
- Single-property owners looking for a cheap consumer smart-home alarm
- Operators who need video evidence or camera-based surveillance, since Minut is sensor-only with no cameras or recordings
- Businesses outside rental and shared-living property management
- Teams unwilling to buy hardware, because sensors are a separate one-time cost on top of the subscription

Frequently asked questions
What does Minut cost for a mid-sized rental portfolio?
Minut charges per rental unit, billed annually: Starter is $60/year for a single property, Standard is $120/year per home and Pro is $180/year per home. Sensors are a separate one-time hardware cost. A 10-unit portfolio on Standard therefore runs about $1,200/year plus hardware, while Enterprise is quoted per portfolio with a guaranteed SLA. Call Assist, the 24/7 guest call-out service triggered by noise events, is an optional $10/month per rental unit.
How long does it take to get value from Minut?
Billing starts when you activate your first rental unit, and the platform is designed for self-serve set-up with no implementation fee. Allow roughly one to two weeks for hardware delivery and sensor installation across a small portfolio. Devices are installed per unit, connected through the Minut app, and thresholds and quiet hours are configured per property; alerts, reports and PMS or OTA integrations then run continuously.
Does Minut record audio or video?
No. Minut is camera-free and states that it does not record audio. It monitors sound levels in decibels, occupancy using nearby Bluetooth signals, elevated smoke risk, temperature, humidity and mould risk, plus motion and tamper events. The vendor positions this as privacy-first monitoring that respects guests and residents, and reports consist of decibel graphs and event logs rather than recorded content.
How does Minut integrate with the tools we already run?
Minut offers pre-built integrations plus APIs and custom automation. The integration catalogue covers an official Airbnb partnership, more than 30 PMS platforms including Guesty, Hostaway, Mews, Cloudbeds, Escapia and Hospitable, guest-experience tools, smart locks such as Schlage, Yale and Nuki, climate devices including Google Nest and ecobee, and cameras such as Ring. Zapier is supported so event data can be pushed into your own workflows.
What compliance assurances does Minut publish?
Minut's own site states SOC2-level compliance and GDPR compliance and describes privacy-first design: no cameras, no audio recording, no data sharing and limited retention by plan (7 days on Starter, 30 days on Standard, unlimited on Pro). Enterprise adds a guaranteed SLA. Buyers with formal procurement requirements should request the current SOC 2 report, data processing agreement and retention details directly from Minut during evaluation.
