Out of curiosity what are you doing that can’t be done with an OTS camera these days?
- dgacmu 2y agoDual cameras at 90deg to each other with lightweight onboard ml to decide capture / no capture + geotargeted higher frame rate captures for regions of interest. In a housing that can handle hard impacts from brush and off-road use (we take pictures of pasture). A lot of the video solutions have much worse image quality than a still camera operating at 1fps to 1/20 fps; you can stick a quite good camera on an rpi. It's quite likely we could COTS this but there was no interest from vendors when we wanted to start with 200 of them. So we went with a custom solution. (We are https://enriched.ag https://enriched.ag -- if you scroll down you can see our overly-heavy-metal but quite tough camera unit. Some day it will be injection molded instead...)
- brk 2y agoI will contact you, I may be able to help with a better solution. This is something I do a lot of.
- dgacmu 2y agoPlease do, I'd love to learn. We just completed a run of our latest version so we're a ways from thinking about a new design, but it would be helpful to know know what I should be thinking about for our roadmap. dave.andersen at Gmail is probably my easiest address.
