SenseCAP Watcher Price Adjustment Announcement:
After careful evaluation, the pricing of SenseCAP Watcher has been thoughtfully adjusted to make it even more accessible. For more details, please check here.
Simply speak to Watcher, tell it what to watch, and it will notify you when the specified event occurs.
You can easily send commands by Push to Talk or from SenseCraft App.
Running on-device AI models, SenseCAP Watcher can detect different things: people, apples, pets, etc. However, the most outstanding feature of Watcher is its integration with LLMs.
By leveraging LLMs, Watcher can capture precise events you specified, it means going beyond simple target detections, it thoroughly analyzes behaviors and status. Like "dog + playing ball, 0 people + in the room," or "The People + with DHL outfit arrived " etc. Watcher truly understands the scene under its watch!
Constantly calling LLMs like ChatGPT incurs a high cost. Hence, we use the architecture of on-device AI + LLMs. The on-device AI model on Watcher detects the target, which is then analyzed by LLM to generate accurate and actionable insights.
With the task "tell me if the dog is tearing up paper" when the on-device model detects dogs, this keyframe is sent to LLM for further analysis - is it tearing up paper? LLMs won't be triggered by people, cats, squirrel or others. This tremendously reduces LLMs' cost.
After detecting the specified event, Watcher can interact with the targets via voice. For example, you can set it this way:
Putting Watcher in different scenarios allows for versatile responses. When seeing a dog tearing up tissues, say “Stop, Cooper!”, when seeing a person smoking in non-smoking areas, say "No smoking!"
Once the target event is detected, it can trigger different actions, for example, push messages on SenseCraft App or LED flashes on Watcher. Of course, we understand you want to go beyond the functionalities on the App/ device. No problem at all! There are infinite possibilities for you to explore!
Add Watcher to Home Assistant
Connected to IoT platform like Home Assistant, your Watcher acts as a behavior sensor, activating tailored actions in various contexts. For example, when it detects people, Watcher analyzes the situation and automatically triggers actions: lights on for reading and lights off for sleeping.
When someone sleeping + dim the light
More than a vision sensor, Watcher is extendable with other sensors to enable multi-modal sensing. On Watcher's back, the I2C is reserved to accommodate 100+ Grove sensors. This flexibility allows Watcher to integrate a wide range of data sources for thorough analysis and appropriate actions. You will be able to build applications like detect room temperature and adjust the AC accordingly - turn it to 22°C when you're in suits, or 26°C in shorts.
Add Watcher to your Node-RED flow
Just 3 blocks away, you can stream the detected results from your Watcher to any place on the internet via Node-RED, as easy as making a snap!
Add Watcher to your Arduino | ESP32 and other hardware systems
Wanna add an AI agent to popular MCUs and SBCs such as Arduino/ ESP32/ Raspberry Pi? Simply connect it to Watcher via UART or HTTP or USB, and you can explore the new frontier of intelligence.
SenseCAP Watcher adapts to your commands with unique "modes." It is LISTENING to your instructions, then shifts to WATCHING mode to safeguard your designated space, etc. But the fun doesn't stop here! You can upload your own designs of emotions to give your Watcher a unique personality. Get a PNG file ready and upload it to Watcher within seconds! It is your call!
Watcher's default emojis are inspired by C-3PO, paying tribute to one of our greatest helpers!
You can easily upload yours in .PNG format.
You can even custom design a unique UI (User Interface) for your SenseCAP Watcher. Our current UI is powered by Squareline.
As an AI device, it is fundamental to respect privacy. And we embrace and implement two primary strategies in this nifty device.
You can deploy SenseCraft on your spare computers. However, if you aim for applications requiring commercial-grade reliability and low-power consumption, the combination of SenseCAP Watchter + NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ is perfect for you!
Compared to consumer-grade graphics cards (e.g. RTX 4090) for AI tasks, NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ stands out with key advantages:
SenseCraft AI Services are tailored to your needs.
Start with Basic, completely FREE for low-frequency: 15min/request for image analysis, 200 chats/month with LLMs.
Need more? Just $6.90 for Pro, pay only for what you consume, NO commitment to recurring subscription fees! Plus, each NEW device includes a FREE $6.90 Pro package! Top up as needed.
Want to avoid fees altogether? Choose On-Premise. Just deploy and use with no additional costs!
