We set out to re-imagine what a camera could be, using the best technology available. The aim was to solve familiar industry problems and add value through new features.
Simplifying installation.
Optimizing fulfillment and logistics.
Consolidating product catalog.
Leveraging a design driven approach, and a process of rapid validation and feedback through a panel of industry experts, we were able to identify common problems throughout the security industry.
We took those insights and rebuilt the product from the ground up, completely rethinking the architecture to address real user and customer needs.

The assembly process was rethought from the ground up, to be securely configured with minimal tools and extra parts.
A proprietary twist lock mechanism secures the camera components together, while pogo-pin connections (commonly used to charge wearables) instantly connect data and power.
The overall installation time was reduced from 1 hour to 5 minutes.
A collection of six mounts enable the camera sensor to be installed in any potential architectural setting.
Each mount features a universal connection, allowing for system-wide compatibility.
Mounts correspond to prexisting industry-standard archetypes; helping to make the specification process familiar and intuitive.
Additional fixtures allow multiple camera sensors to be mounted in the same location.
“Multi-sensor” cameras are commonly deployed to cover a wider field-of-view within the same camera-to-network connection point.
In my field research, I learned that installers were placing units with four cameras in a spot where three would suffice (over-specification).
The fixture system allows for a higher degree of customization, so installers can tailor camera configurations for specific settings within their project.
