The camera captures high-quality video, which is crucial for the precise AI analysis that follows and, according to the startup, it can be used “with any AI model, in any farming environment, for any type of analysis”.
ReelData has been building AI, software and hardware for the aquaculture industry for five years and says that: “ReelVision distinguishes itself from standard industry cameras with its robust design, which ensures zero hardware failures and allows scalability without overwhelming farm infrastructure. The camera can operate efficiently as both an advanced AI camera and a standard IP camera, providing flexibility and cost-effectiveness.”
Key features
According to the startup, the main features of the new system include the ability to:
- Handle the harshest underwater environments, as well as the harshest farmers handling equipment.
- Support a high number of cameras per farm without causing any technical bottlenecks on your farm.
- Measure the smallest pellets at the highest accuracies – currently detecting 2mm pellets in smolt facilities.
- Function effectively as either a sophisticated AI camera or a basic IP camera - letting farmers get ready to adopt future AI solutions.
- Maintain 99 percent server uptime, minimising disruptions and maximising productivity.
“After using ReelVision for over a year now, it has shown a significant improved accuracy in pellet detection. Clients have noted its reliability with fewer operational disruptions and the reduced need for maintenance like rerunning cables or replacing hardware,” the company states.
