Basic shelfcam Features

Monitoring shelfs in realtime is a complex task in modern retail environments. Therefore, captana designed the shelfcam in order to provide a plug and play solution for easy setup and cost-efficient monitoring while complying with GDP requirements.

The shelfcam integrates a 5MP/12MP imaging sensor and an ultra low power Al SOC to capture pictures of shelfs and process them in the most efficient way. In order to keep the camera permanently in the cloud WIFI AC 2.4/5GHZ is directly integrated.

The camera could be easily setup by tapping the mobile phone on the camera front. Via NFC the setup credentials can be transmitted from the mobile phone directly on the camera. The integrated RGB led will give a signal when the setup was successfully performed.

In order to be compliant with GDPR rules the shelfcam has a motionsensor inside. Only when no motion was detected over a certain amount of time the camera will be allowed to take a picture of the shelf.
