What are Dragonfly's architectures?
Should I pick a Cloud or Local version?
Dragonfly is a flexible technology that can work on multiple Operating Systems and is available under different architectures.
Let's explore them together.
CLOUD
How does the Cloud Installation work?
Requirements
WiFi or 4G Connection
2 Mbps/device
Camera
A camera on board of the device, or our Dragonfly Streamer
Is there already a camera on board of the device (robot, drone, forklift, AGV...)?
YES
Make sure that:
- The camera has a wide angle (130°-180°)
- It can stream a VGA video (640×480) to Accuware’s server.
NO
No problem, we have a super easy solution.
In fact, you can buy our Dragonfly Streamer and be ready in 4 minutes.
GET STARTED
The cloud based architecture requires either:
- Our Dragonfly Streamer. The easiest way to get started in 4 minutes. BUY IT NOW
- One camera (wide angle) + a computing unit to stream the video to Accuware’s server. If you already have a camera on board, SPEAK WITH AN EXPERT TO PLAN THE NEXT STEPS
And a WiFi, 4G or 5G connection with internet access.
LOCAL SERVER
How does the Local Server Installation work?
Requirements
WLAN / Local wireless Connection
2 Mbps/device
Camera
A camera on board of the device, or our Dragonfly Streamer
Local Server
Provided by Accuware
Is there already a camera on board of the device (robot, drone, forklift, AGV...)?
YES
Make sure that:
- The camera has a wide angle (130°-180°)
- It can stream a VGA video (640×480) to Accuware’s server.
NO
No problem, we have a super easy solution.
In fact you can buy our Dragonfly Streamer and be ready in 4 minutes.
GET STARTED
The Local Server architecture requires either:
- Our Dragonfly Streamer. BUY IT NOW
- One camera (wide angle) + a computing unit to stream the video to a local server. If you already have a camera on board, SPEAK WITH AN EXPERT TO PLAN THE NEXT STEPS
And a WLAN or local wireless connection (internet access not needed).
In addition, a Server has to be available on site.
Usually Accuware provides this server pre-configured. For instance, a server with 2 devices connected at the same time, in a venue of 10,000 sqm, would require a quad-core CPU like an i7-8th gen or better, 8 GB or RAM, 120 GB SSD.
ON BOARD PROCESSING
How does the On Board Processing work?
Requirements
Camera
A camera on board of the device
Computing Unit
A CPU on board of the device
Is there already a camera on board of the device (robot, drone, forklift, AGV...)?
YES
Make sure that:
- The camera has a wide angle (130°-180°)
- It can stream a VGA video (640×480) to the local on board Computing Unit.
NO
No problem, we have a super easy solution.
Buy our Dragonfly Local Kit and be ready in 23 minutes.
GET STARTED
The Local On-Board architecture requires either:
- Our Dragonfly Kit for On Board processing.
- One camera (wide angle) + a computing unit with at least an i5-8th Gen CPU or similar + 16 GB of RAM + 40 GB SSD. If your device already has a camera please check out all the requirements to get started.
