Devices & cameras
Understand agents, stations, and cameras, then connect and monitor them.
PackVision uses three simple concepts on the floor:
| Term | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Agent | The computer running the PackVision desktop app. It talks to your cameras and records video. |
| Station | One packing table inside that computer. It has one camera today. |
| Camera | The IP camera above the table that sees the packages. |
One computer can host several stations — for example, two packing tables with two cameras — as long as it has enough processing power.
Connect a computer
Approve a new computer with an 8-character device code.
Add cameras
Discover cameras automatically or add them manually.
Stations
Manage stations, tags, and the live KPI strip.
Live view
Start streams, arrange the grid, and watch detection in real time.
Where to check device health
- Stations shows every station with its recording state: total, recording active, standby, and disconnected.
- Agents lists the computers themselves, including online status, data transfer used, and cloud storage used.
The desktop app sends a heartbeat while it runs. A station that stops reporting appears as Disconnected on both pages.
