FEATURES

The data you need, when you need it

Ingest data from any sensor on any smart machine

Support for many popular cameras and sensors is built in, and it’s easy to add modules that can support almost any imaginable hardware.

Synchronize machine data with the cloud

Viam Data lets you store smart machine data locally and sync that data with the cloud as needed whenever bandwidth is available.

Queryable smart machine
cloud storage

Run powerful queries to get the insight you need directly on the data, without having to manipulate it.

Centralized smart machine
data visualization

See and act on your smart machine data in real time, and leverage SDKs that let you customize dashboards to view it.

Selective data capture
and anomaly detection

Not all data is created equal - save bandwidth and money by only synchronizing the data you need.
