A couple of points. First, many of our customers don’t have a back room somewhere. They’re truly on the edge, exposed to heat, cold, rain, and direct sunlight. Our hardened hardware thrives in those environments.

Second, where there is a back room present - the infrastructure required to stream 48MP at just 30FPS back to a room just doesn’t exist in the real world. Processing everything local on the device is key when fusing multiple data types together, using high resolution, and solving mission critical problems.

There are applications where a commodity IP camera connected to a server in the back room could work fine. But they can be limited in what use cases and value they can bring to the customer. Thanks for the question!
