Automation in Motion

WAV101 brings computer vision to your desktop. It converts any PC into an IP camera, a video recorder or a surveillance base station. Use its machine vision feature as the foundation of a visual inspection system. Further combine it with an API for process automation, robot guidance and LLM pipelines. In any case, enable the embedded web server for remote access from smart phones, tablets and other computers. Its security features include authorized use, automated IP blocking and an application firewall. Add an SSL certificate to encrypt data when in transit.

WAV101 can benefit from greater CPU core counts under heavy workloads because of its multi-threaded architecture. Conversely, each feature mostly follows a single-thread model. As a result, their performance is dependent on the CPU, RAM and drive speeds. That said, gaming PCs contain all the components needed to deliver the highest level of performance possible from WAV101. However, industrial PCs, line conditioners and NEMA rated enclosures should be considered in extreme environments instead. In any case, all PCs operate at their best at cool temperatures, protected from vibration, dust and condensation.

WAV101 accommodates a wide range of non-proprietary video sources. They include IP cameras, USB cameras, webcams and computer displays. Regardless of the source, each is available for real-time, time-lapse or high-speed video recording. Keep in mind that video files can also be defined as video sources. Which allows their content to serve as simulations that can be closely studied.

Although auto-focus and light-compensating cameras are advantageous for surveillance, they are generally not suitable for machine vision. More to the point, machine vision depends on strictly controlled staging to best illuminate target objects while minimizing motion blur. Therefore, the camera, its lens and illumination source must be chosen and positioned appropriately.

Select your mail exchange and SMS gateway so as to satisfy data recovery and operational needs. Keep in mind that WAN access may not be required for in house operation. However, a mail server should be installed on the host PC if no other is accessible.
