e3Vision
Scalable video made easy.
High definition networked video cameras with millisecond-precise synchronization. Record simultaneously from any number of cameras, for multi-view 3D tracking of behavior.
Multi-user, multi-experiment, multi-view.
Control securely and access remotely.
Process video stream in real-time and simultaneously record to disk.
Pair different host systems with up to 60 cameras on one network.
Lifetime license and software support included; no recurring annual costs.
Made for Research
Infrared or visible light, behavioral monitoring or deep-learning 3D tracking, real-time or offline processing: e3Vision flexibly covers all these use cases. Road-tested by the DeepLabCut authors and featured in tracking case studies. e3Vision used in DeepLabCut Case Study #7: pupil tracking by Thomas Vaissière
With their miniature size, universal GoPro-style mounts, and single-cable connections, our cameras and hubs are made for fast and easy deployment in compact labs and behavioral enclosures.
| e3Vision | Security Cameras | Machine Vision Cameras | |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-camera compression |  15 cameras per hub, up to 4 hubs per gigabit network | 10-50 cameras on separate switches on network |  1-2 cameras fills up a gigabit network |
| Frame synchronization | One-click synchronized recordings for all cameras | Clock differences cause seconds of video drift over hours, cannot be synchronized with neural data | Can be synchronized using a separate sync cable |
| Ease of use | Single cable handles data, power, and sync | Single data / power cable, not synchronized | Separate data / power, and sync cables |
| Automation | Full automation with Python, MATLAB, or Javascript | Proprietary GUI, not easily integrated with experiments | Depends on manufacturer |
| Secure remote access | Local only or self-hosted remote control options. Authenticated login and encrypted control of cameras. | Cloud-based remote access and storage not suitable for human or animal research recordings | Can usually only be viewed or controlled by the recording PC, authentication generally not supported |
