Vine Camera System

$999.00

A multi-node connected system for sensing and monitoring applications

The Vine Camera System is a distributed monitoring platform. Typical use cases include monitoring retail and warehouse operations – particularly those with high value or high volume goods – or environments that benefit from automated and continuous inspection. The Vine Cam System consists of one central Hub that powers and collects data from an array of up to 64 cameras before processing or pushing that data to a desired endpoint. The base system includes one Hub and four Camera Units. Additional cameras sold separately.

Designed and assembled in the USA
